Q: how to verify an email address for imessage and face time

Hello, Judy.  

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  

I understand that you need to verify your iCloud or Apple ID for Apple services.  Here are a couple resources that I would recommend taking a look at for this.  

If you didn't receive your verification or reset email

Contact us

 

Go to System Status and see if Apple ID is available. If you still can't find the reset email or verification email, contact Apple Support.

Cheers, 

Jason H.
