I cannot activate imessage and facetime using phone number

Hi there,


Need assistance as I am unable to activate iMessage and facetime using my phone number and the status is waiting for activation since yesterday. Already restart the phone but still same. Previously I am using the same number for message and facetime but now not working.

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.

Try a forced restart.

If necessary


Hard reset.     -


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