iMessage Not Working

My iMessage has been "Waiting for Activation" for almost 4 days.

Monday Apple Support told me they had an iMessage problem and were working on it.

Does anyone know when Apple is going to fix the iMessage problem?

I had this problem too and Apple said that there WAS a server network error on Sunday 5/5. The first person I spoke to said that he thought it was fixed but the second person I spoke to said there's no update and that I should keep trying for 3 days.

None of us here work for Apple. That is something we have no control over. You can try the steps here if you wish, If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support or wait until Apple makes a statement, or the activation goes through, whichever comes first.

Using an iPhone S/E.

I spoke with Apple Support today and the support lady told me it was an Apple problem and they were still trying to resolve it.

So it's wait for Apple to fix problem and probably not a problem with my iPhone.

Thanks, boatfloyd

There are no reported problems in the USA for any of Apple’s Services.

Apple - Support - System Status

You should contact Apple support again.

No one here could answer that question for you, only Apple. This is a user to user support forum. You will have to wait for a response from Apple, and you won't get one here.
