iMessage and Facetime stuck on verifying my phone number for days!

iMessage can't seem to verify my number, it's the same with Facetime. All it says is verifying the number, and as a result, it doesn't work. I'm on IOS 16.5.


Any help? or is someone else getting this?

If you can’t turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime, read this support article --> If you can’t turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support


Also try restarting your device. That cleared up an activation issue we had, and it doesn't hurt to try.


If it still isn't working after a day, do as the article instructs and contact Apple --> Contact - Official Apple Support
