iMessage and FaceTime no longer working

As of this morning they were working on my iPhone and iPad. I took a FaceTime call on my phone and after less than a minute was kicked off and sent a message letting me know I needed activation on both FaceTime and iMessages. To be clear I’ve had both devices working for over a year. I checked my network at home and found it was working. I’ve rebooted both devices. I got it to work on my phone for a moment then it all went bad again. They are also both up to date on software.

If your iPhone is used with a carrier not found in the wireless carrier articles, make sure you can send and receive international SMS. (One SMS Only)


If you can't turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime - Apple ...
