guys, i would really appreciate if anyone of you can help me out here. I got an Iphone 5 factory unlocked for Wind Network here and my Facetime and iMessage is not getting activated through my phone number. I have tried anything/everything to myknowledge to make it work, it just does not. I was wondering if someone who had the ame problem has any suggestions for me.
iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.2, Wind Mobile
Try this help article:

Wind is not a supported carrier. You'll have to work it out with them. Facetime and iMessage activate using international SMS messages to Apple's activation servers in the UK. If the message exchange is not handled properly by the carrier, it will fail.
yah well, some of the folks here says that it got resolved for them. I am just starting to think there could be a problem with the phone itself
Unfortunately, unless you're willing to try using a supported carrier, there is no way to prove that the problem isn't your carrier or the way they have your account provisioned.
Check my post in this thread. I managed to get it to work. It's pretty complicated and definately a Wind problem.
