IPhone :: Facetime And IMessage Option Not Available?
Jun 9, 2012
I am a iphone 4 (OS 5.1.1) user with the device being bought from UAE but using in Saudi Arabia. I cannot see the option facetime or iMessage anywhere in my phone and settings. I searched a lot of threads on google but none helped me. How do I use facetime?
I just got a iphone 4s and am having problems with my imessage. I can turn it on using my apple id but my mobile number does not appear anywhere for me to choose it as an option. I keep getting "waiting for activation." The same thing is happening with facetime. I don't have the option to choose a mobile number.
facetime and imessage is not connecting to my friend as it worked before. now again it is not connecting. other than reset the setting is there any option to make it work cos reset the settings didnt work for me?
The mobile number entered for facetime and imessage in 'verifying' state for ever. It also charged 3-4 times for international sms but still my mobile number is not activated for imessage and facetime. This service is not available for India.
I bought my iphone like a month and a half ago and I haven't been able to activate imessage or facetime. I have tried activating it with my apple id but it doesn't work, I tried doing it with wifi on airplane mode and nothing. I even restored it.
I got my iphone 4 in US, and now travel to another country, I can't use a new sim card in this country, so I just use my iphone without sim and just by using wifi.I want to use iMessage and facetime here, but there is a note, says "waiting for activation", how can I solve this problem? I have same issue with facetime.and one more thing, here my friend has iphone, I tried to send her an iMessage but I can't initiate texting, how can I add her to my list, I add her as a new contact, but I can't send her text or using facetime. Her iMessage is on.by the way I have to say, I can send iMessage to my friend in US.
I have an iphone 5s and i can not activate imessage nor facetime. I followed all the steps provided by the apple page and still i can not make it connect. The phone is connected to wifi at all times and has ios 8.
I got the new iphone 5s and so now my iphone 4 is deactivated. I am trying to let my sister use my deactive iphone 4 in wifi to facetime and imessage me. How do I do that?
It seems that my iPhone 4 has decided that it wants to randomly switch of iMessage and Factime at random points during the day. This has only happened since the os 5.0.1 upgrade! I have not reset it because i have heard that this does not work! I have tried just using my phone number, then just my apple id account, then both together on the settings for both, but it is still randomly switching off.
i purchased the new iphone 4s black 16gb yesterday and i can make calls receive calls and receive text messages yet i cannot send any sms text messages to any of my friends and this is obviously concerning me. Why also when i send an imessage to my friend it comes up with my email and not my phone number i have checked this and i cannot change it to my number. Mainly i would just like facetime and imessage to be activated and to be able to send sms messages.
It's has appears after a restoration. My iMessage setting stays deactivated. Or when I try to activate it, it fails. No error in particular. Just try again.It has been more than a month that I try again. Even more.I don't understand why. For other users, it's working, so, it doesn't seem That the Apple server is down. I am starting to wonder if it is not the hardware that has a problem now. And of course, Facetime doesn't work neither. Same error message.
My imessage and facetime are not working it keeps on saying under the settings that the imessage and facetime are waiting for activation but its been like that for a couple of hours now
When i try to activate my iMessage or my Facetime it stays "Waiting for activation" for a long time or says cannot activate. I don't want to reset my phone so is there anyway through like my apple id account i can activate it on the computer or itunes?
