My iMessage won't connect. I get the error message: "iMessage Activation: Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." My iMessage never worked. I tried reseting network settings but it didn't help. Everything else works fine.
iPhone 4S, iOS 6, Does not connect even on wifi
I already tried all of this and it did not help =/
Including signing out of your Apple ID at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID followed by signing back in?
I don't have the option of "Send & Receive". This is what happens:
So then I click on Sign in with Apple ID.
I get to this screen and enter in all my info.
And this is the error message I get.
You can send and receive SMS - you have a valid messaging plan with your carrier?
Do you have Set Automatically for the date and time? If so, is the correct time zone shown?
Do you have any restrictions on text messaging with your carrier?
Have you tried turning iMessage off followed by powering your iPhone off and on or a reset which is similar to a computer restart?
I can send and receive SMS fine, the date and time are right and I don't have any restrictions with my carrier! I just tried turning off the iMessage and restarting it. I also saw in another post to change the DSN to 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 and that also did not help. I'm at a loss of what else to do!
Were you able to connect with and use iMessage under iOS 5 on your iPhone 4S?
Have you tried to enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to another Wi-Fi network in a different location?
Have you visited myinfo.apple.com to sign in to your Apple ID account and ensure that the primary email address has been verified?
I couldn't connect with the iOS 5 either and I tried at a different wifi location. My email is correct has been verified too. I feel like I've tried everything!!
Did you try restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup under iOS 5 or so far under iOS 6 and waiting 24 hours?
I will try that. Thank you!
Hi I get the exact same issues. i followed all the same steps and got the same bad results. if you happen to find a solution please post it so i can try it as well. Thanks in advance.
I am on the Sprint network by the way so im pretty sure its an iPhone issue, not a carrier issue.
I restored my phone and it fixed the problem!
Okay so i unfortunately had to restore my phone as a new phone and erase everything. So if youre having this issue this seems to be the route. Dont forget to save your caontacts and pictures and music. Doing all this fixed my issue and got everything to work.
I too faced the same problem . I was using imessage in ios6 and when i upgraded , There were issues like ,
check network connections and Try again . , Connect to itunes for Push notifications . It was irritating and annoying for everyone i guess
Steps to Resolve the i meeage issue
1) Connect your phone to P.C and Back up your datas to P.C via I tunes
2) Once the back up is complete . Connect your phonbe to Wifi or 3G cellular network and Boldly go to Settings-->General --> Reset--> Erase all datas
( Do not worry if you had backed up your datas )
3) Iphone will reboot . it will take some time
4) Then your iphone will start . Click next and you will be prompted for i message activation . Give your apple id and Sign in
5)Keep your phone connected . In P.C you will be prompted if you want to restore ( EOther wise go to I tunes --> File --> Device--> Restore back up
It really worked for me .🙂
Hope this is clear.
Thanks
My iMessage does not work due to network connection problem, but my network connection is fine
