Apple ID error

When I try to sign into Face Time I get an error message saying " An error occurred during activation please try again later." Has this been happening to anyone else and does anyone know how to fix this?

Can you sign into Messages?


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.
