  • HT5538 Hi there. I have tried everything to make iMessage and FaceTime to work with my number but it won't let me do it. I am moreover concerned as I have another sim forum my same carrier and it works fine with iMessage and FaceTime. I I really need help

    Hi I have tried all the tricks from the support to have iMessage and FaceTime running but it is impossible for me to activate these apps with my phone number. Problem is I have another sim from the same carrier and I am able to do it on that one.
    I am desperate for a help!
    Thanks a lot

    Can you make phone calls on the phone that won't activate?   Is it only iMessage and Facetime that isn't working?   What about data - can you access the internet?
    Your last statement didn't make much sense to me:  " I still can have the apps working but only from an email"
    Pls explain that clearly.

  • TS3988 In my settings I am trying to use my iMessage and face time through my phone, but it is frozen saying "waiting for activation..."  How do I fix this so I can iMessage and FaceTime?

    I am trying to turn on my IMessage and FaceTime features on my iPhone 4S.  When I go to settings, iMessage or FaceTime, and turn them on, it is frozen saying "waiting on activation..."  How do I fix this so I can use my phone?

    If a phone is sold from one friend to another and wants to use it on a different carrier the friend can contact the carrier it was sold by to request it unlocked.  I know AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will give you the steps to unlock it as long as the original contract it was bought under has been completed.  eBay/Craigslist is really not the best place to try to get "unlocked phones" from, if it turns out the phone isn't unlocked then I'm really sorry you got stuck with that one and as stevejobsfan said above I would report them immediately and see if you can recover your money.  I sell phones for a living and this happens a lot

  • TS4268 What does it mean when I get the error message, "unable to contact iMessage center" when trying to set up iMessages and I click next and it starts verifying and then the error message.

    What does it mean when I get the error message, "unable to contact iMessage server" when I try to use iMessage and after it starts verifying?

    Hi Natasha,
    Below is a copy of my post in another thread on this topic. I'm not sure which country you are from, but hope it's helpful.
    Possible fix for Australian users on Telstra and using Tango
    I'm using the iPhone 5S with iOS 7.0.1 on a contract with Telstra in Australia and have been experiencing the problem with iMessage and FaceTime not activating. My iPhone 4S on iOS 6 worked perfectly on the same network however.
    I seem to have now fixed this issue by removing the Tango app (it is similar to Skype). Reading through this thread and seeing the refernces to TuGo triggered my solution, although I believe the 2 apps are entirely unrelated (just have a similar sounding name).
    This fix may have been co-incidental, given that I had to wait quite a while for a sync with iTunes to complete. After syncing, I didn't check the settings for Messages and FaceTime to see if they had been activated. I just went straight to the Tango app on the iPhone and deleted it - hey presto, instantly both Messages and FaceTime were activated.
    Hope this helps others in Australia who may have Tango installed, and are on the Telstra network.

  • An Error Occurred during iMessage and FaceTime Activation. I've tried everything. New iPad.

    Hey guys. I know there are tons of threads of this, but none help me out. I just bought a new iPad and am trying to set up iMessage and FaceTime. I use both on my MacBook Pro and iPhone. I have-
    Made sure I'm on automatic time
    changed the D.N.S. to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
    Hard reset
    Reset settings
    Restore through iTunes
    Please help. This is very annoying and un-apple. Thanks in advance!

    I'm having the same problem!  I can sign in FaceTime and iMessage just fine via my MacBook Pro, but just set up my BRAND NEW ipad and keep getting the "An error ocurred during activation.  Try again." error.    BOOOOO!  What's up with this Apple?

  • IOS 8 iMessage and FaceTime "Waiting for Activation"

    I just upgraded my iPhone 5 and iPad to iOS 8 and now I can't get my iMessage and FaceTime to work. When I try to send messages (sms or iMessage) from my phone I get a "Not Delivered" message. I've tried resetting my network settings, I've also messed with toggling on and off the iMessage and FaceTime buttons in settings, and I've also tried setting up my iMessage and FaceTime when on wifi, airplane mode (with wifi) and using my cellular network.
    Even though my phone is not registering these changes, I'm getting a popup message on my laptop saying "Email Addresses Added to 'iPhone,'" so it seems like the laptop is recognizing that I'm getting hooked up to iMessage but my phone just work. Anyone else having iMessage or FaceTime problems? do I need to downgrade back to iOs 7?

    If you still got this issue, I just solved it on my wife's 5s. After reading a different blog that suggested turning off FT from the Phone settings and then reset. But my wife's phone didn't even had the FT option under settings > Phone so I just did step 2 and it worked. 
    Step 1) Goto: Settings > FaceTime and turn off
    Step 2) Goto: Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    After the phone has restarted, search for FaceTime and have fun.
    Remember that apple would prefer you are connected to a WIFI source.

    Hi brittney290,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iMessage and Facetime activation.
    The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
    Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots.
    I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268
    Troubleshooting Apple ID activation
    After each step, toggle iMessage and FaceTime off and then on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Ensure that you have an active Internet connection. You can complete activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. Check your Wi-Fi network using standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting.
    If you receive an error when signing in to your Apple ID, visit myinfo.apple.com, sign in to your account, and ensure that the primary email address has been verified.
    Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
    In Settings > General > Date & Time, ensure that Set Automatically is on. If Set Automatically is on, but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
    Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to another Wi-Fi network in a different location.
    When enabling FaceTime or iMessage on an iPhone, you may see "Waiting for Activation". This message refers to the activation of your telephone number only. You can use FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID even if your phone number has not completed activation.You can see that you've activated FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID here:
    Settings > FaceTime > You can be reached by FaceTime at:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
    Additional Information
    To sign out of your Apple ID:
    Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
    Find information about linking your phone number to an Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage.
    Find help with issues you may encounter when using iMessage or FaceTime behind a firewall.
    Recommended Wi-Fi router and access-point settings.
    Note: FaceTime may not be available in all countries or regions.
    On iPhone, SMS messaging is required to activate FaceTime and iMessage for use with your phone number. Depending on your carrier, you may be charged for this SMS.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!
    - Judy

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

    Ever since I updated my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 to IOS 6 all my iMessages are coming to both my iPhone and my IPad. How do I stop the iMessages I send and receive on my phone from receiving on my iPad as well? I have tried going into my settings and making sure I'm only set up to receive iMessages to my cell number and not my email....but that didn't fix the problem.

    Here the way to do it, for both, or for only one Go into your settings, Messages and turn on iMessage. It will then send messages that are iMessages to both your iPad and iPhone. You can also turn off this feature on the iPad if you do not want to receive messages on the iPad.

All my text to him automatically send as a imessage. Ive tried to delete his contact and then went back in and reentered it but that doesnt work.

    Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
    Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
    Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other.
