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
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:
- Make sure that your device has the latest version of iOS.
- If you're using an iPhone, contact your carrier to make sure that you can receive SMS messages.
- Contact Apple Support.
Thanks again...how many days did all this take...coz its been over a week my end...
And did u just keep switiching it off and on every time?
Have already been charged more fhan a 1000 rupees for this and still my imessage isnt active. Did anyone find a working solution.
Nope...i have finally turned iMessage and FaceTime off on Vodafone sim after spending 800 bucks!
Not all the time however this happens. It's rare. But it could be on the back end. Try that method.
Hey,
Ive wasted more than 600 INR on activation txts!! Still not getting activated.
Vodafone have given up and so have Apple. Both say everything is fine their ends.
All i can think is to wait and watch and see if it gets resolved on its own!
Gonna disagree. See my post. Then complain to Vodaphone. The rejection is NOT happening from Apple's servers, unless you can provide the proof this is happening and since this is behind the scenes, you won't be able to.
Your "opinion" has no factual basis. If you can't send an international text or are blocked from doing so, take THAT issue up with your provider.
