IPhone :: Facetime / IMessage Not Recognizing New Number?
Jun 26, 2012
This has been a problem posted by several people. Below I have a list of solutions that other people have posted and tried. While these solutions have worked for other people, they have not worked for me. When I moved abroad, I got a new SIM card and phone number. However, the number displayed under Facetime and iMessage is still my AT&T number and not my new, local phone number. I can send and receive Facetime & iMessage through my Apple ID, but not through my phone number. When I had originally put the SIM card in, the number under Settings > Phone said "Unknown" and I was able to edit it to be my new number. That did not change the number listed under Facetime.
Solutions which have NOT worked (some of these have worked for other people, so if you are also having this issue, you can try these solutions as well):Restoring phone (from backup, and restoring as a new phone; when I restore phone as a new phone, the old number disappears but the new number does not replace it)Clearing all settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)Clearing network settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings)Power cycling (Hold the circle button and the power button down together until the phone turns itself off. Also have tried by first turning off Facetime & iMessage before the power cycle.)Turning Facetime & iMessage off, then back on (Settings > Facetime and Settings > Message. Also have tried logging out of Facetime before turning it off.)Turning off Date & Time > Set Automatically and then turning it back on?

I'm having bigtime problems with my facetime and iMessage.. First of all, I got my iPhone 4s unlocked through AT&T, but now I'm stuck with my old AT&T number.. It's my old number, under the "caller ID" in facetime and in iMessage, and it won't allow me to change it...So now I can't recieve any facetime calls and any imessages....

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.

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 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.
