IPhone 5 :: IMessage And FaceTime Cannot Activate Over Phone Number
Aug 23, 2014
I can not activate iMessage and FaceTime over PhoneNumber waiting for activation after 24 hours to yesterday i have become a ams with reg-resp. and numbers
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 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.
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?
I just got a new iphone 4s, Upgrade from my 3gs. Im on wifi , Texting works internet works, Everything is normal. When i go to activate my imessage and facetime , I type in my username and password like it says and then it just says error check internet connection. However, Im on my personal wifi which works 100% and even when i switch it off wifi it still says the same thing?
It will work through my email but it will only send through my email. When I go to Recieve at it only gives me the option of adding an email account it does not let me recieve iMessages through my number. I don't know what to do, I've even reset my phone up as a new iphone and still nothing has worked.
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....
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've recently changed my phone number. I can't find where I can change my number in iMessage and also, my iMessage won't activate properly since changing my number.
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.
i've got 2 Phones, 1 company and 1 private phone - means 2 different Numbers. I've now merged the private phone number now into the company Sim Card, so I've got only 1 phone now instead of 2. The main number is now the company number, but i wanna keep my OLD private number with iMessage, etc.Â
I happened to exchange my handset , an i phone 5 in the US when i encountered problems with my origibal handset procured from India.I was using a local US number at the time of exchange. Now, that I have returned to India, I see the US phone number that I had been using against Facetime and iMessage.
On last month I changed my iphone 4 to 4S, after the change I noticed that I can't receive imessages using my phone number, only my apple id was there at "Receive at" field.What should I do to solve this?How can I put my phone number back there?This is happening with Facetime too. But on Facetime the phone number has a "Verifying" status.
After returning from holiday, my imessage no longer works unless it is through email, which I dont like. I have tried loads of options and nothing has worked.
I registered the iMessage once with my old number on different country and now i came back to my own country and wanted to change my number but its unable for me to change it ! i can only change my Email addresses ! Is there any way to change it without reseting my network setting !?
I am using face time on my iphone 4. However, i am confused because it appears with the contact phone number, so i do not know whether it is free or charging money.
