Cannot activate imessage and facetime with my phone number on Wind Mobile here in Canada. I have international text and it still wont activate. Wind Mobile doesnt carry the iPhone. I thought any carrier can get imessage??
iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4, AWS
Interesting ... how long did it take to active your cell # with iMessage (and FaceTime) after requesting activation via the normal channel within the set-up screen(s)?
When activating you cell #, did you follow any particular steps? For example, first logging out your AppleID from iMessage and/or FaceTime (or iCloud/ iTunes & App store)?
Any other tips for activating via the normal channel?
Thanks
IT took a couple of minutes. I just turned off iMessage and FaceTime and turned iMessage on. After the iMessage activation, I turned on FaceTime as well.
The normal process is not working for me.
Is this similar to what you did? Specifically, did you log out of your AppleID anywhere ...
* I logged out of my AppleID in iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud and iTunes & App store.
* Then turned off iMessage and FaceTime, and then restarted phone.
* After phone restarted (and signed of iTunes & App store again), I turned on iMessage.
Since then, the iMessage is showing "Waiting for activation". Now over 2 hours ago.
But I could not get the manual method to work after trying over 20 times over the past day - the Hex string was never sent.
I'm not sure why neither route is working now.
iMessage and Facetime still work for me after upgrading to iOs9.0.2, but now I can't send basic text messages (SMS) to anyone. MMS wasn't working but I was willing to live with not being able to send pictures but not being able to text anyone who doesn't have an iphone? That's unacceptable. Anyone else having this issue?
Confirmed that it works normally by macrumors: http://www.macrumors.com/2015/10/06/imessage-activation-sms-wind-mobile-fixed/
and mobilesyrup: http://mobilesyrup.com/2015/10/08/imessage-and-facetime-activation-on-wind-is-wo rking-right-now/.
Turning the iMessage on and off will reset the activation.
Can this also be fixed for an iPhone 7 Plus running iOS 10.3.1 ?
What is the status of this as of now? Is the original method still working, can someone confirm?
