iMessage and Facetime

Hello whoever answers this,

I am currently experiencing issues with my phone.

I am trying to activate Facetime but the activation is not working, now my messages are bugging a bit, and I don't know what to do.

I own an iPhone 6 Plus and the latest update on my phone is 12.5.1

Kind Regards Zac :)

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 12

Messages - If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime.  


Some things you can try. Do you have access to another WiFi network where you can try? That has worked for several people.


Try a restart.


Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch         


Try a forced restart.


Reset Device.      


If necessary


Hard reset.        


Do a backup and try a factory reset. Then restore from your backup.


Restore to Factory setting.      


Restore - If you see an error when you update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod


Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.
