I can't select my phone number for iMessage (-sigh- Yeah, this problem again)

Hey the method you suggested isnt working i resaterted my applications to original a few days ago and it caused the problem and nothing will fix it my number is just greyed out and the only choice i can choose is my email otherwise it says its waiting for a verif

So these posts seem a few months, if not a few years old, but I have recently (just this morning) started experiencing the exact same issue. Please can someone help! Here is a list of symptoms and what I've tried:

-iMessage randomly starting sending from email

-I went to send and receive and unchecked email but it will not let me check my number.

-turned iMessage on then off and now my number is gray and it just shows the spinning loading thing but never does anything else.

-tried turning airplane mode on then off.

-tried turning off iMessage and FaceTime and restarting phone then turning them back on. Nothing.

-tried taking out my SIM card and putting it back in then restarting again. Nothing... nothing I seem to do is working and I didn't even touch the settings in the first place. I literally have done nothing different with my phone that I have so far in the few months I've owned it...

I tried all proposed solutions a couple of times. Nothing worked !

So I disconnected imassage.

After IOS upgrade to version 7.1.1. I tried to connect again and surprise it was fine again.

I could see my phone number normal instead of grey and therefore I also could select it.

Thanks Adam! I had same problem after update and this fixed it.

It did the trick! Thank you adamhughey!

Thank you Ty, your advice was the advice that worked for me! I suppose all of the other suggestions were outdated or something.

Michelle,

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? This is also happening to me on.

Do you know the solution already?

HI Ty!

I am having the same problem as everyone else on this feed and I have tried EVERYTHING. Randomly two days ago my phone stopped receiving iMessages, but I was still receiving them on my Macbook! I can see that the issue is that my phone number is greyed out and I cannot click it, I have tried everything, resetting my network settings, logging out of iMessage and FaceTime on all of my devices and resetting and then logging back in and it STILL wont let me click on my phone number! Any advice? I have tried everything every forum or apple support feed suggests!

I started having a problem with this a few days ago with my MacBookPro. My iPhone and iPad are synching just fine but it has dropped my MBP and I can't get it to receive a code when I try to enable the MBP. I've tried all of the suggestions in this thread but I can't get the MBP back in the loop.

I Also had this problem of not being able to use my phone number for imessage. Reading through here though, someone did say to reset network settings And that worked. I REPEAT, THAT WORKED! Thanks so much for the help!!

Oh my god. I've been trying so hard to solve this problm I had 4 days ago. Last week, my imessage is working properly. Please update me when you solved yours. I tried EVERYTHING, and they're not working :(

Same for me

i got a response from Apple today over the phone (Issue on Apple Server Side). Tehcnicians are working on this issue
