TS4268 Still says "waiting for activation".

I know that the imessaging servers are back up. But my phone's imessaging still isn't working. What do I do?

Did you follow all of the suggestions in the support document that you came here from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268? If you did, try turning it off again, wait a moment, then turn it back on again.

    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.

    When i try to use turn on facetime or imessage it gives me "Waiting for activation".  Please Help!!!

    Try turning them both off, do a reset of the phone holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, try to activate again. The support document that you linked to here is what I would recommend. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268

  • My iMessage still says "Waiting for activation...

    I tried literally every single one of your solutions and nothing worked.
    I ported my number from Reliance to Vodafone.Total pain in the backside. I want to send iMessages from my own number, not my email address.
    Please, please someone else?

    Hallo Brad,
    I didn't get an email but first a warning that my carrier might charge me for the text message that would be used to activate. Said OK. Messages activated and my phone number was added below the email address. I now have two 'recieve at' addresses.
    Don't know if this hepls but you can stop worrying about the 'missing' email.
    Good luck. A

  • TS4268 under settings messages, it says "waiting for activation"

    I'm connected to wifi, can connect to itunes using the same account, and changed my password to have a capital, number, and lower case to match the current requirements, but it still says waiting for activation, and when I try to log in with my apple id it says to check my network. Anyone know how I can fix this? I'd like to use iMessages..

    Try the steps in this Apple doc -> iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
    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. 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.

    ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
    Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS.  Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages.  If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)).  Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation.  If that does not fix things read the following articles:
