TS2755 My iMessage won't activate.

I have great cellular data, but my iPhone has been saying "waiting for activation..." for about three weeks under my iMessage on and off switch.
I have an iPhone 4. I've tried restarting my phone and I just updated it to the 5.1.1 software, but nothing helped.
Please respond if you know of anything that could help!

Sounds like you have multiple Apple IDs, which causes a myriad of issues.  Go here to straighten it out.  Be forewarned that it's a pain.

  • IMessage won't activate on macbook pro after os x reinstall

    I did a fresh install of OS X on my macbook pro. iMessage won't activate. iMessage works fine on my ipad, iphone, and mac mini, but I can't sing in with my apple id on the macbook pro now. It worked fine before the OS X reinstallation. WHY?

    First, check the status of iMessage on this page:
    Apple - Support - System Status
    If iMessage is down, wait tor it to come back up.
    Otherwise, back up all data.
    Take the steps suggested in this support article:
    FaceTime, Game Center, Messages: "There was an error processing registration" when signing in
    Sign out of iMessage:
    Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
    Then sign back in with your verified credentials. Note that the password of some Apple ID's will expire periodically.
    If you get the same error, try resetting the NVRAM.

  • My iMessage won't activate

    My iMessage won't activate and says my 'username or password is incorrect' whenever i try entering my Apple ID however it is all correct. I also changed my password so it's definitely right, can anyone help?

    If it is telling you the credentials are not correct, they are not correct.
    Re-enter them correctly.

  • Imessage won't activate on new phone

    trying to activate i message on a new iphone....messages won't send or receive

        Here I am to save the day mf1831! Let's get your iMessage working. May I ask are you logged into your iPhone 5s with your Apple ID? If not then simply go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. Also, go to iCloud in Settings to ensure that you are logged in there as well. Once you are logged in go to Messages and verify that iMessage is turned on. Also, please verify the Send & Receive info under Messages to ensure that both your mobile number and Apple ID is checked under "You Can Be Reached By iMessage At". Please let us know the results after you have peformed these steps.
    Thank you…

  • IPod touch generation 4 iMessage won't activate.

         A day or so ago I tried to go into my iMessage and was greeted by a screen with a "Get Started" button on it as if I hadn't set up iMessage already. I promptly tapped the button and it asked me to enter my apple ID. (it already had my email address entered for some reason) After signing in another screen asking me which email I wanted to use popped up and I selected the only email I had associated with the apple ID account. After hitting 'next' it said 'Verifying' with a loading prompt next to it, after it says this for 5-10 seconds it confusingly goes back to the sign in menu I saw before. Nothing has changed and when I try to log in again it does the same thing.I can't get into iMessage which is exceedingly frustrating. I am on the latest version of iOS that is available for the 4th Generation iPod touch (iOS 6.1.6) and this happened totally out of the blue, I did nothing to the device except regularly using it prior to the problem. I have turned the device on and off with iMessage and Facetime off (it is doing the same with facetime although I rarely use it) and I have even reset the device out of desperation. I have called apple support, searched on the internet for many fixes which I have tried (obviously none of them working) and now I am here. Any comments or input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
