Hi,
I am currently having a problem with my iMessage where it would not detect my phone number. As i am currently overseas, I am using the local simcard. However, yesterday I had changed into my previous simcard just to check whether it is still active. When i changed to the local simcard back, it would not detect my local phone number. It is only detecting my prev simcard's phone number.
Someone pls help! 😢
You have to log off of iMessage with the one number before trying to activate iMessage with the other number. Sign out of iMessage, Power the phone off. Insert the SIM, power the phone on, then turn on iMessage. Wait for it to activate.
Hi! Thank you for your suggestion.
But sadly it didn't work. When i turned imessage back on when I had changed the simcard back, it stays "waiting for activation". Even under Send & Receive, my phone number was not even detected. The only thing stated there was my email address and the phone number of Simcard 2 + the thing just keeps on loading to that number but it could not complete its activation because it is not the simcard number inserted.
Hope I was not confusing 😕

If you are seeing that "waiting for activation" it is because it is not completing the activation process. The phone number will not be detected until the activation process is complete. You need to make sure this local SIM you are using allows for the international SMS necessary for activation. If it doesn't, then it will not activate. You will not see the number listed until activation is complete. This is what can happen when you change SIM cards, and the carrier you change to is not supported. You need to contact this carrier to see if they support iMessage and if they are blocking the activation SMS.
Alright will try and ask the carrier. But it is just odd because just right before i changed to my prev simcard, I was using iMessage just fine with the local simcard (the one that is now cannot be detected). 😐
Q: My iMessage would not detect my Phone Number
