Imessage won't activate account?

For the past few months I can't seem to log in to my facetime or imessage, it keeps saying "An error occurred during activation. Please try again." I can't log in or out of the account I'm using.

Message activation error



Have someone else attempt to sign in using their Apple ID. If they can successfully sign in and use Messages/FaceTime, it may be your Apple ID.Someone I know had this happen and I was able to sign in usingmy Apple ID. After a call to Apple Support and then being elevated to a tier 2 support person, it turned out it was a problem with their Apple ID. It took the software engineers 3-4 days to fix the problem. When calling Apple, make sure you tell them it is an Apple ID problem so you don't get charged.
