iMessage can't seem to verify my number, its the same with Facetime
All it says is verifying number, and as a result it doesn't work
Any help? or someone else getting this?
iPhone 4
I'm having the exact same issue. In my Message preferences it says "Verifying" next to my phone number for about a day, and then it changes to "Error". I've tried doing a full restore on the phone, and I've reset network settings as the instructions above say.
I've spoken to Apple and Verizon on the phone. First, apple told me to call Verizon and have them re-provision MMS and SMS on my account. They tried doing that to no avail. They then put Apple on the line who offered to exchange my phone for another.
It seems strange that there would be something so particularly wrong with my phone that it would cause this minute problem when everything else on the phone works fine and so many others are having the same problem.
Any thoughts?
problem.
This worked a treat for me, thank you!
OK I STRUGGLED WITH THIS FOR A LONG TIME AND FIGURED OUT MY PROBLEM
If you startd your account with a non iPhone apple prodect you have to REGESTER IT IN YOUR SUPPORT PROFILE! That is whhat will activate the phones iMessgae ad FaceTime. MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS IF YOUR ACCOUNT WASNT REGESTERED WITH AN IPHONE!
solved my problem just now - thx jayeecordero
I tried everything everyone else was posting with no effect. I stumbled across yours and BOOM fixed. I had been on a plane playing Candy Crushand had shut my auto date and time off to get extra lives... karma. LOL
THANKS!
I had this problem too. Mine was solved by turning off WiFi and turning on my "data roaming" under Settings>Cellular>Roaming>Data Roaming.
I am from U.S. but currently in Sweden. It seemed to reset after that.
Hope this helps someone.
