I pad Apple ID error

I have been able to sign into the brand new iPad with my Apple ID and password. When I was in my I pad I went to set up the Imessage app. I typed in the same ID and password, it then loads for about 5 minuets. after something pops up that says FaceTime Activation Unable to contact FaceTime server. Try Again.

iPad Pro 9.7-inch WiFi

Can't sign in to facetime I'm trying to sign in to facetime, but I keep getting an "error occurred during activation, please try again later" popup. It says to go to Settings>Facetime and then turn on or off. I don't get that option, only the Apple/iCloud sign in box. I try to sign it, it says "verifying" and then i get the error activation popup again. I'm becoming rather upset, I just got this iPad today (Gen 4, model A1460, MD523LL/A) and I can't do anything at all with either Facetime or iMessage. Help!

Ipad - Imessage and Facetime error logging on Cannot log into Imessage and Facetime - Error is "Facetime Activation - Unable to contact the Facetime Server. Try Again." Had this ipad and everything was working until recently. This is the error message for the last 3-4 weeks. Asks for my id and password and then after a minute or so, get the above message. Ipad is logged on (can see on my laptop that ipad is connected when I log into my apple account). Just backed up a few minutes ago, manually, and was successful.
