TS3367 When I try to activate y FaceTime, I get "An error occurred during activation.  Try again."  I have a good password, I'm on wifi, I've tried toggling off and back on again... why can't I get FaceTime to work?

When I try to activate my FaceTime, I get an error msg that says, "An error occurred during activation.  Try again."  I have a good password (I used it to get here...); I'm on WiFi; I've toggled FT off and back on again but I cannot get past the error message and get activated.  What's wrong?  Thanks.  Talking about my iPhone (4). 

Its possible that the server can be down now. Have you ever used it before?  If you want, try resseting the phone by just holding the sleep/wake key and the home button together for 10 seconds.  Then wait 5 seconds when it turns off and press the sleep/wake button to turn it back on.  Then try it again.  Let me know what the results are.

  • Try signing into iMessage and FT and I get "an error occurred during activation, try again"

    I get text messages from non iphone users but when someone with an iphone send s me a message, I don't get it. So I checked my settings under imessage and it says I'm not logged in. When I try to login, it says, "An error occurred during activation, try again." Nothing is wrong with my internet connection and I can download apps just fine. I went to Settings>Store and logged out of my account and logged back in and still have that problem. Any suggestions?

    I cannot activate Imessage on my iphone 4. When I enter my Apple ID  it keeps coming up with 'An error occurred during avtivation. Try again'  Can anybody help ?

    It seems a lot of people are having this problem...you can try restarting your device, making sure Date & Time settings are on automatic, or changing your DNS to 8.8.8.8. However, most people posting about this problem have tried everything including data resets, restores, etc. and it doesn't seem to work. It seems to be an issue on Apple's end with the servers...hopefully they can resolve it quickly

    FaceTime... Set Up... Use and Trouble Shooting Guide

  • Just bought 5s.   When trying to activate FaceTime I get " am error occurred during activation".  Have gone through trouble shooting but still no luck

    Unable to activate FaceTime.   Have done all troubleshooting tips. Talked to Apple support.  Still not working on my new 5s.   I just ditched my samsung s4 and switched everything to apple.  Kids got new airs for Christmas and I want FaceTime.  I want to be anti samsung but if this doesn't get fixed this $600 purchase is going to make me very apple bitter.   

    FaceTime activation sends an SMS (text) message to Apple's server in the UK (country code 44). You need to have SMS enabled on the phone and on your account with your carrier to activate FaceTime and iMessage (which works the same way). You also have to be on WiFi, unless your carrier supports FaceTime over cellular (most do not).
