How do I link my phone number to my Apple ID for iMessages?
My iMessage/FaceTime won't work; it always shows waiting for activation.
Under send/Receive at it only gives me the option to use my email address, never my phone number.
I have tried turning iMessage/FaceTiMe off, logging out of Everything on my phone. turning on and off. Resetting to factory setting. I've created a new Apple account and that didn't work. I've tried other people's apple accounts, which I can see their phone number and email address but my phone number never shows up.
I spoke to an Apple Tech support on the phone and she said she can't see any issues and gave me a case number. She suggested logging out of everything, resetting to factory setting and start again. Which I did already but did again to please her and yet still no fix.
i Visited my network provider (Telstra) to ask for help and if it was something on their side. They said it had nothing to do with them but provided me with a new SIM card (keeping the same number) and that didn't work.
Can anyone help? It is frustrating. I have an iPhone, iPad, Macbook pro, an imac computer and a couple of Apple TVs. I just want everything to work properly.
