my imessage just says waiting for activation helppp:(

I have a solution to all of you who faced this problem of waiting for activations for both FaceTime and iMessage.
Here's how I did mine;
For "FaceTime"
1) Launch "Settings" app
2) Select "FaceTime"
3) Select "Apple ID: (your ID)"
4) Select "Change Location" (to where "Country" your phone number is registered)
5) Select the "Country" you are in
6) Back to "Settings"
Do the same for "iMessage"
1) Launch "Settings" app
2) Select "Messages"
3) Select "Receive At"
4) Select "Apple ID: (your ID)"
5) Select "Change Location" (to where "Country" your phone number is registered)
6) Select the "Country" you are in
7) Exit
After you've done all the settings as aboves; Now hold down the "Home" and "Power" button until you see the "Apple" logo to reboot your iPhone. Let go you fingers after seeing the "Apple" logo appears.
Go back to the "Settings" app.
For "Facetime"
1) Select "FaceTime"
2) You'll notice your "FaceTime" has been activated
3) Go to the bottom and Select "Caller ID"
4) You should have your "Phone Number" selected
5) Back to "Settings"
For "iMessage"
1) Select "Messages"
2) You'll notice your "iMessage" has been activated
3) Select "Receive At" (now you'll see "2 Addresses >)
4) Go to the bottom and Select "Caller ID"
5) You should have your "Phone Number" selected
6) Exit and enjoy your iOS5
Hope that helps. Cheers!

  • Imessage working fine, tried to add email as well as number then it stopped! Now just says waiting for activation!

    I tried to add an email address to imessage as well as my number so my friend could email me from their ipad.
    Firstly it said there was a problem with my apple ID password so i reset that (new password works fine, i have been able to download apps etc since!)
    Now under iMessage it just says waiting for activation.. and it is only here i get the message saying my password is incorrect?!
    I have tried rebooted and restarted phone many times.
    I can no longer send imessages to other iphones, just texts! Its driving me mad!
    why will it not recognise my password?! i even tried adding an extra email account and verified that with the password - worked fine!

    Don't understand why my Imessaging stopped working. If I go to settings messages and check out Imessaging it just says waiting for activation.

    Change the DNS servers of the wifi network to 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
    Go to settings>general>date&time> set automaticly , turn it on if it wasn't
    then settings>general>reset>reset network settings
    restart the phone

    My imessage is working when im signed into my apple id butmy phone number is still not activated, my imessage still says waiting for activation how do i fix it ?

    Go to Settings > Messages and turn iMessage OFF.
    Then go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset Network Settings. Your phone will restart. You will not lose any data, but you will have to re-enter any Wi-Fi network passwords.
    Once the phone has re-started and you have a network connection (either 3G or Wi-Fi), turn iMessage back ON.

  • Why does my phones iMessage keep saying "waiting for activation"

    Why does my iPhone's iMessage keep saying "waiting for activation" when I turn on my iMessage

    It's waiting for you to reply to a confirmation email that was sent when you added that email address to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
    The email is sent immediately. If you have reason to believe it was not sent, tap the blue circled i then either resend the validation email, or remove it.

    What tips have you tried so far?   Just so we don't waste our time telling you things you've already done.
    When you respond, also indicate which country and carrier you're using.   Also, is your phone brand new?  can you make a phone call / access the internet while on cellular?
