I can't get past the verification phase in activating my iMessages. It worked fine before I did the update. I put in my details, select email address then it says verifying then nothing happens and it goes back to the original activation screen asking for apple I'd. It worked fine before I did the update. I don't understand what's wrong with it. Please help?

iPad 2, iOS 6.1.3
