How to get iMessage to work on iOS 7?
I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 7 on Thursday of this week, and since then, my iMessage will not activate. Prior to updating to iOS 7, I had never had a problem with iMessage. When I try to activate it, it displays "Waiting for activation" and then, after a long time (close to a day), it will say activation has failed. I have tried many things to resolve this with no success:
-switching iMessage on and off many times
-signing out of my Apple account and trying to activate iMessage with my phone number
-resetting my network settings
-restoring my iPhone (from backup)
None of the above attempts have worked, and now I have no idea what I can do to resolve this issue. Any help would be appreciated.
There are possible methods to fix iMessage "Waiting for Activation" error in the below resource
