TS4268 waiting for activation
my imessage on my iphone says waiting for activation how do i get it to work?
The iMessage and FaceTime activation process could take up to 24 hours to complete. You will have to just allow the time for it to activate
Go ahead and go to Settings > Message and turn iMessage off and then back on. Then wait 24 hours WITHOUT turning iMessage off or on and it should work.

underneath my imessages when i go to settings says " waiting for activation" how do i fix this
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:

I still have "Waiting for Activation" while trying to activate iMessage on the iphone, noting that it was working normally and stopped working suddenly, as well I had done all the mentioned steps.. what should I do else?

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. -

TS4268 imessage says waiting for activation
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

TS4268 my imessage just says waiting for activation helppp:(
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! -
I'm trying to activate my iMessage & FaceTime with an email on my iPhone 4 , but it keeps saying “waiting for activation..” . So how do I activate it so it can work ?
Yes, I know. But at one point in activating FaceTime or iMessage you will need to be able to send a text message. If you can't, there will be no activation.
Check your device settings
Make sure that you’re connected to a cellular data or Wi-Fi network. If you're using an iPhone, you'll need SMS messaging to activate your phone number with iMessage and FaceTime. Depending on your carrier, you might be charged for this SMS.
