Cant activate Imessage and Facetime, please help

Hey guys,


Just moved from iPhone 8 to 13 mini. Cant activate imessage and facetime, I've tried every possible solution (airplane mode on/off, restart, logging out/in from iCloud, hard/factory reset, network reset) and it continues saying "waiting for activation." Even went to my sim card operator/carrier looks like issue is on apples end.


PS: Living outside of US and I really need to turn that feature on


Please help :)



Thank you!

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 15

The normal routine is on the OLD phone put the SIM back in and

Settings, Messages, Turn off iMessage

Settings, Face Time, Turn off Face Time

If you don't have access to your iPhone, you can  Deregister and Turn Off iMessage - Apple Support


Put the SIM in the NEW phone again and

Settings, Messages, Turn off iMessage

Settings, Face Time, Turn off Face Time

Restart the phone.

Settings, Messages, Turn on iMessage, SMS, MMS

Settings, Face Time, Turn on Face Time
