Q: Iphone does not even pick up my phone number to start iMessage activation
iMessage will not activate phone number.
Son's Phone
Reset, restored phone....still would not work. Replaced sim...will not work. I know the sms is being sent as my plan credit is being charged for every sms. Bought a new plan/new sim/different number....still did not work. Replaced iPhone 5c to iPhone 5S....still will not work. Opened new apple id....restore phone and still will not work. Did all troubleshooting requested by apple....and others....will not work. Apple's defense...carrier issue, no carrier support for my country.
Wife's Phone
Was working perfectly. Backed up iPhone 5S. Brand New Iphone 6s set with with last back up from iPhone 5s. Imessage stays on waiting for activation....later says activation failed, try again. Number stays greyed out and in search mode. Before setting up iPhone 6S, logged into apple id and on contact information both email and phone number were visible. After setting up iPhone 6S with latest backup from 5S.....logged into apple id and number option was gone
My Phone
Iphone 6...working perfectly.....email and phone number option in iMessage.
All phones on same carrier, latest iOS 9.2
HELP!!!!!
iPhone 5s, iOS 9.2
