Q: iMessage Face time wont activate with new Apple ID

Ive tried to set my daughters new apple id (set up Monday 9pm uk time) onto her iPad on FaceTime and iMessage - and whatever I do doesnt activate...yet if I put an existing apple id in works fine.....

so far have tried all suggestions on other sites, resetting it, etc seems to be connected to the fact its a new apple id and not the device??

iPad, iOS 9.3.1

Have you perchance been able to link that ID to yours using Family Sharing?

Did you set up a new iCloud.com email address? Or are you using a different email address?

I *think* if you use a different email address, you have to verify it before you can use it. An email may have been sent to the email address you used which should contain a verification link.
