Same thing. I moved from 6 Pls to 6s Plus and my iMessage and FaceTime will not activate. I called AppleCare support and she advised me that there are many with this issue today and that the iMessage/FaceTime activation servers were overloaded today. With all the new phones activating I can see why possible. She said she had 5 calls in the last hour about this same issue. It should resolve itself within 24 hours.

I just got off the phone with them as well. I feel a bit better knowing I am not the only one, I mean no offense. This has been driving me nuts all day...I have restored phone 4 times now trying to get it to work and sometimes I can get ti activate, but then they don't work. I was able to get it to work for a few minutes by turning Facetime OFF and then it worked for 5 min, then when I turned back on, stopped working and wouldn't working again by turning off. They must me really overloaded.

Other issue I just noticed on last restore was all my Messages were gone. Apple over the phone sent me to a seniot advisor and they said I would need to give it 24 hours to have those re-populate as well??? Never heard of that one for messages to come back in, Maybe once iMessage is working fine they will all repopulate in I am guessing, or hope!

Thanks for the reply!
