IOS 10.3 imessage not working

when attempting to verify iMessage I get the following error: "iMessage Activation Unable to contact the Imessage server. Try again."

I have tried many times. This all happened after IOS 10.3 upgrade. Some apps also not responding.

PC, Windows XP Pro

Hi! I have the same problem, so i contact the support team and they solve it in less than a day. Try it this way before you restore your phone. (Sorry to my poor english my friend, greetings from Chile)

Mine is a different problem. When I flip the Switch to turn on iMessage, the Switch turns back off after 0.5 seconds, thinking that iMessage is permanently unavailable. This is on my iPod Touch 6 (Silver/White) (I got it on 3/15/2017 at an Apple Store in my State and got it set up later last month. I got it completely set up earlier tonight when I got all the Data transferred from my old iPhone 4S (White) (I have an iPhone 6S Plus (Silver/White) though.).). I also get a Message below it saying that the Activation was unsuccessful after the Data Transferring from my old iPhone 4S (White). Does anyone know how to fix this problem without having to erase all Data or do I need to take it to an Apple Store for help?
