Q: I cant active facetime or imessage on new ipad

I have a new ipad and have set up a apple user ID for the first time - however I cant seem to active iMessage or Facetime. I have tried another user id and that works fine - it seems to be related to my user ID. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Did you receive a verification email when you set up your new Apple ID?

See here:

If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support

If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support

You need to call AppleCare. There's a known problem with new AppleIDs and signing into FaceTime And iMessage. The engineers are slowly sorting it out.
