Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
i just got a new email with iCloud and it's working fine
But the problem is that I can't activate my
iMessage ...
Under iMessage says
Waiting for activation.
There are no restrictions at all on my iPhone
Connected over wifi and 3G network...
Rebooted phone
And still no luck
I even did a full restore on it and no luck...
What shoul I do...
iPhone 3GS, iOS 5
I think I may have a solution for your prob, it just happened to me yesterday at 11pm and I kept on reading and reading and trying but nothing. Then I starting watching videos on youtube. And I finally fixed my problem at 3:00am haha.
Here's a possible solution for you.
Settings > Wi-Fi (select your current wi-fi connection and press the blue circle with the arrows > Go down to where it says DNS and press it, delete the current number and put this: 8.8.8.8, 8.8.8, 4, 4
Don't try on waiting with iMessage or Face Time it'll still will say "waiting for activation" but try on sending a message. It'll work, it work for me.
As soon as a put those numbers my Push Notifications started working so good and so fast.
Hope this helps!

This is exactly the solution I had already posted above together with an explanation of why it works. I'm glad it worked for you too.
I was having this same problem. Using the DNS codes may work for some, but I tried something else and it worked the first time. I went into Settings -> Messages -> Send and Receive -> Apple ID -> Log Out. Then I started over with turning iMessage on, logged in again, and everything was working perfectly. Hope this helps.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! IT WORKED!
Had this problem with my new iphone 4s that came today was told by another site to make sure the time and date was set to auto update and hey presto it fixed the problem, facetime and imessage now working x
Hi,
This solution does not work for me.
This solution does not work for me either.
When I updated to IOS8 it happened to me and this worked for me:
Thank you for your suggestion, but this did not work for me. iMessage still says "waiting for activation"
Restart you phone and that should work
Worked for me !!!! THANK YOU🙂
Tried the other solutions but didn't work for me. This one however worked like a charm. Many thanks!
iMessage stuck waiting for activation...
