Since updating to IOS 9.1 my Iphone 4S frequently displays a popup warning from facetime and imessage
"Your carrier may charge for SMS messages used to activate iMessage"
I never used this feature and have no intension to. both facetime and imessage are deactivated but i keep getting this warnings.
How can I turn them off or disable the warnings its driving me nuts.
iPhone 4S, iOS 9.1, null
Try the following method, I found it myself:
1. Go to Settings - iCloud.
2. Click on your's account first and last name.
You will see "Contact information", "Password & Security", "Devices", "Payment".
3. Click on "Contact information".
4. Add your phone number. Verify it. Its status will change to "Verified".
That's all. Now you will not get these nasty iMessage dialogs.
I'm also affected by this very annoying bug (iPhone 6s, Denmark).
I'll try what you suggested by logging out of Facetime by tapping my id to log out, although my notifications are specifically mentioning imessage.
I have the exact same issue. Every day or every other day I get this pop up "your carrier may charge ......activate facetime" it's maddening how annoying it is that I can't find how to stop it. And I've accidentally hit OK several times and been charged quite a bit, few months in a row. Apple...? iMessage doesnt work 50% of the time where I live and I have 0 need for FT.
2nd iPhone 6 with this issue, on a couple diff iOS 9s....
Personelly i dnt use. The face time and i message because the sri lankan dialog network charging me additional amounts for the face time every time some tym when inswitch off the phone and on again i dont know why i should pay for the data and extra career chargers
Yes, even I am getting this message now. I am using 10.2 .
It's annoying to read any such warning. And I use FaceTime frequently so I can't turn it off. Though I am not being charged yet for I message, I want to get rid of this message alert.
did you try factory reset ?
I did this as you suggested.
It didn't work.
Still got the messages.
You should not get anymore. It had to send messages to deactivate your ID.
I tried too--it does not help.
Are you using FaceTime via your email ID or your mobile phone number?
Both. In my settings, FaceTime says I can be reached via my email and mobile number, and if I make a call, it goes out as my cell.
It appears again :(. But I did not get it for 2 days. Was it a partial fix, or not related at all--can't say for sure. Too bad that Apple cannot help, really annoying.
Same here its keep poping up while I playing games I have iPhone SE upgraded to iOs 10.2
Can't say anything else but try to repeat again, unfortunately. After I did all these steps I wrote about, I do not get this message anymore.
Try DISABLING two-factor authentication from your icloud apple id site.

That is a really, really stupid idea, and it won't do anything to solve the issue.
disable message "Your carrier may charge for SMS messages used to activate iMessage"
