Hey there mi172,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We'll be happy to help with activating iMessage.


The error you mentioned is listed here: If you can’t turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support


Let's follow those steps to resolve the issue.


  1. Check your Settings, following that guide.
  2. Turn iMessage and FaceTime off on all of your devices and then back on, on the device you're trying to activate with now.
  3. You may need to wait up to 24 hours, but if you run into another error, let us know what it says and we'll use that information to determine the next steps.


Take care.
