I hope this helps. I just did it like 5 mins. ago
Try quitting the SETTINGS APP and re-launching it. This worked for me.
Resetting my iPhone settings fixed the problem for me. Thanks for the tip.

reset network settings
turn on imessage

thanks
solved my problem just now - thx jayeecordero
My iPhone doesn't wanna connect to imassage .
Ok, so this morning I was playing in the Settings app and decided to try what will happen if I turn iMessage OFF, so I did, and then turned it back on and my phone number kept on saying "Verifying"... it took over 12 hours with no luck!!
Took ou the SIM card and nothing, quit app setting and nothing... so here's what I did and it worked
- Turn off iMessage
- Turn off FaceTime
- Make sure your "My Number" is set correctly (Mine was set as +962 "didn't work" so I decided to change it to 00 962 "which worked")
- Airplane mode, turn it ON
- Settings -> General -> Rest -> Rest Network settings
- wait for the phone to come back to life
- Turn On iMessage (and it will verify in seconds)
- Turn On FaceTime (and it will verify in seconds)
Quit all of your apps just in case and I am not sure how this thins of "Set date to Automatic" but mine was already set!
Good luck guys and Thank you everybody's sharing for their experience 😀
The resetting the network solved my problems thank you 😀
Thnx a lot...worked like a charm!!

Just go to settings> turn Restrictions on> turn FaceTime off and then on>check to see if facetime and imessage is fixed >turn restrictions off
No dice... same problem, stuck verifying.
Thanks!!! After speaking with Apple and Verizon and 2 days worth of trying, ur fix is now my gratitude!
Same problem.
Also have it with FaceTime. Phone number doesn't get verified only email.
I've tried practially everything!!!!!
Tried that before and still have iMessages and FaceTime stuck on verifying number.
Close the settings app completely then open it back up again. Then go back to iMessage setting and the phone number should work for iMessage.
