Unable to contact the iMessage and FaceTime server. Try again

For some reason I can not activate iMessage and FT this week. Its been working fine for the past 12months and for no apparent reason it won’t connect we keep getting the message “Unable to contact the iMessage server. Try again”. I have rebooted the modem and update the iPad but still no change in activation status.

Has anyone else had this issue and had success rectifying the issue?

thanks

iMessage and Facetime “Waiting for activation” My iMessage and Facetime suddenly got stuck on “waiting for activation” for almost 24 hours and i have tried some solutions I saw online. I’ve tried turning them both off and on again, I’ve reset my network settings. I have also out of iCloud, proceeded to turn iMessage and Facetime off, switched my phone off for a couple of minutes. I am completely stumped on what else to do. Is anyone else having this problem too? Please note that this is NOT a new device and I have been using both of these features for quite some time now.

iMessage and FaceTime not working in IOS 13 Hello, i updated to iOS 13 yesterday and now my iMessage and FaceTime are not working. i tried the solutions that Apple and everyone else posted and they have not worked. I even did a full factory reset on iPhone and still it’s not working. It’s stuck on waiting to activate and then fails. I’m entering my Apple ID and password correctly. before iOS 13 everything worked fine. I've run out of ideas about how to fix this. So I’m wondering is anyone else having this issue? Is this an iOS issue?
