Just downloaded iOS 8, iMessage and Facetime not activating?
I own an iPhone 4s and recently updated my phone to iOS 8. Before, I was able to freely iMessage and FaceTime people without any problems. After updating, I'm now not able to activate my iMessage or FaceTime at all. When turning on the iMessage, it always returns to the "Activation Unsuccessful, turn on iMessage to try again" or a pop-up that says somewhere along the lines "Unable to Activate/Connect to the Network." I have tried everything I could find to get this to work yet none of them are specifically for iOS 8 and they are not working. I have even restored my phone, reset the network settings, and many other supposed "solutions" due to my desperation. I've logged in and out of my Apple ID and made sure my phone number was connected to that Apple ID multiple times. When in the "Send and Receive tab" the Apple ID is checked but my phone number is grey and unable to check. The only solution I haven't tried that I have been told to try is the factory reset. It has been 24 hours Please Help!
Same problem and tried every known fix, except, as you, for a complete factory reset.
Take your iPhone to an apple store and they will fix it or will replace it. Note that if you have an upgrade with your carrier the iPhone 5c is now free to upgrade to.
- Why is my iPhone 4S not allowing me to FaceTime or iMessage? I have about five people who have an iPhone on my contacts. My phone will not let me send and iMessage or FaceTime them! What's wrong with it? I'm getting annoyed because I have FaceTimed and iMessaged last week and both stoped working Saturday. The only thing my phone sends are text messages. Can anyone explain why?
