Iphone 4 not sending or receiving messages?
I god an iPhone 4 today, complete with unlimited talk and text but a limited data plan. When I first got my phone and charged it, I was able to text my friend for about an hour, and since then it will NOT receive or send ANY texts at all.iMessage isn't working for some reason, it'll just sit there and say "waiting for activation" and won't change at all. I've logged in to my itunes account through it and everything, and nothing. I also backed it up and restored it like most sites said and it STILL will not work. Any tips on how to fix this issue? It's very frustrating, and answers soon would be great. Thanks.
Also, not sure if worth mentioning, when I send a text it doesn't have the exclamation mark near it saying it failed to send, but it doesn't say it sent either.
Added (1). Also I'm on AT&T. I'm not sure if that'd be an important detail either.

- Why isn't my iPhone 5 not receiving or sending texts to andriod phones? I just recently got an iPhone 5 (regular. Not 5s or 5c). I haven't updated to iOS7 yet but ever since I've gotten this phone it hasn't received or sent text messages to an android phone. I haven't tried calling yet so I'm not sure about that yet.
- Why is my iPhone5 sending some messages as iMessage and others as Text Messages? I understand that messages are sent as Text Messages when there's no signal or poor Wi-Fi connection. However, I'm successfully texting some people using iMessage but others (still iPhone users) as Text messages. The other person will send iMessages and then my responses will be sent as green Text Messages.
- Why is my Iphone not sending as Imessages and receiving iMessages from one person? I'm texting my wife and we both have iPhone's and she is getting the messages as an iMessage but the ones I'm sending her on my end show up at green. Sometime it will go as blue, get the little red exclamation point then send as regular SMS. I'm texting someone else too and she has an iPhone, and she is getting mine as regular iMessages and mine are sending as regular iMessages. Why aren't they sending to me wife as iMessages?
- Not receiving Textfree messages on my iPhone 5 I know many people who use Textfree as their main texting service. I've had the problem with not getting the messages they send. I can send and they go through but I never get theirs. I'm using iOS 6.1.4 if that makes a difference. I have been able to use Textfree on my iPod in the past and my old phones would receive the messages, it's just my iPhone that it hasn't been working on.
