iMessage activation on Vodafone India

I've just ported my carrier from Aircel to Vodafone and unable to activate iMessage ever since. Is there any known issue with Vodafone and iMessage in particular? All it shows is "waiting for activation" or "activation unsuccessful". Best part - I've been consistently charged by Vodafone in name of activation.

iPhone 6s, iOS 11.2.5

Hello ravibhootra,


Thanks for asking about activating Messages here in the Apple Support Communities. You are receiving alerts covered in this help article: If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime


After trying all the steps in that article, if you still have issues, the article states that it may take 24 hours to activate, but also offers more options stating:



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.


Thanks and have a wonderful day.
