iMessage stuck on verifying my phone number

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?

OK...I've fixed my issue:


Go to: Settings>iMessage> switch off.


Go to: Settings>Facetime> switch off.


I noticed that in: Settings>Phone> that "My number" was unknown (go check yours now)


When I tried to click on the "Unknown" to input the number...it would not allow me to.


Go to: Settings>Airplane mode> Turn off. Wait a moment, then switch back on and go back to: Settings>Phone>


You should be allowed to input your number including country code.


Check to see if "My Number" has been updated.


Go to: Settings>iMessage> switch back on.


Go to: Settings>Facetime> switch back on.


Phone number is verified in both Facetime and iMessage.


Hope it works for you!


🙂
