Is anyone else having issues with their iMessage? It keeps saying waiting activation and it has been for the past half hour. SMS are sending fine and all my other internet app ect are working as normal. Its so annoying!!! Help please 😟

I have the same exact problem. Last time this happened, I just reformatted my phone and it started working again... but give it a few hours. At least you know it's not just you, so it's probably a problem on Apples side.

That is not an acceptable answer. Just because they are updating to ios6 doesn't mean they should take down a service without notifying everyone they are doing that. They had the issue with icloud email last week and it took 2 days to get it back up and all of us that depended on email being there were left in the dark to what is going on.

Not working in the UK. Its really bugging me now, i suppose i'll just wait, until tommorow morning. But here is my problem so far;

I turn my iMessage on, and it says waiting for activation. Then three minutes into it pops up with the read reciept and other items. But its still waiting for activation.

Please help 😟

Also, quote this when/if its resolved, I'm popping into Apple tomorrow after college to see if they can do anything. Thanks
