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?

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?

Try # 2 onwards.
To change the defult phone number in iMessage, you need to:
I hope this helps. I just did it like 5 mins. ago
I followed all of the steps but it didn't work. It will only let me add a new email and won't let me remove the email that's in there for iMessage. I can't even click on my phone number in iMessage settings because it's gray and has a loading symbol next to it. I tried turning iMessage off and on, Facetime, and tried restarting the phone. Nothing's working.
i have the same issue, facetime works tho but imessage is stuck on verifying...
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!

Tried all of the above and every other forum soloution including restoring the iphone and still no luck.
Anyone else still stuck??
thanks for the reply but it doesnt help
Hey i was having the same problem. After resetting all my settings i was stuck, until i went to my imessage settings. Then i had selected "Use apple iD for imessage" and signed out. After that the only adress i could be reached at was my phone number. Let me know if this resolved your problem.
thank you! this totally helped for both facetime and iMessage 😎 i've been having this issue since yesterday
This was PERFECT! completely fixed the problem. thank you!
Yup...I have the same issue....phone number wont verify within the imessage app. Doing a reset of the network settings didn't work for me.

Try quitting the SETTINGS APP and re-launching it. This worked for me.
