iMessage activation failure. Keep receiving REG-RESP sms

Check your device settings

1. Make sure that you’re connected to a cellular data or Wi-Fi network. If you're using an iPhone, you'll need SMS messaging to activate your phone number with iMessage and FaceTime. Depending on your carrier, you might be charged for this SMS.
2. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time and make sure that you've set up your time zone correctly.

Turn off and restart iMessage and FaceTime

1. Go to Settings > Messages and turn off iMessage.
2. Go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off FaceTime.
3. Restart your device.
4. Turn iMessage and FaceTime back on.

Still not activated after a day?

It might take up to 24 hours to activate iMessage and FaceTime. If the issue continues after 24 hours, follow these steps:

1. Make sure that your device has the latest version of iOS.
2. If you're using an iPhone, contact your carrier to make sure that you can receive SMS messages.
3. Contact Apple Support.

Cheers!

Hi,

I have tried all the mentioned solutions already, even waited for 48 hours but no luck. Now my phone number does not appear in Send and Receive 😟.

The contact number provided for Pakistan is not not a valid number. How can i contact support?

Thank you

All of those things did not work for me and it turned out that my cellular data plan on my new phone had not been fully set up. Once that was solved the Messages and FaceTime apps activated no problem. At no point in any of the troubleshooting did anyone check on this so I thought it would be good to note here in case that is the root of the problem for others too.

Hi Mr. SEO,

Apple does not provide support for Pakistan as it is not a country which they do business in. You would have to visit one of the countries they do support to be able to get the issue resolved. These are the countries that Apple is able to do business in: Choose your country or region - Apple
