I am having trouble with iMessage saying it has an activation error.

I am having trouble with iMessage, it says that there is an error with activation and to try again. I tried again and it says waiting on activation. I went through some steps I found online and nothing has worked. Any suggestions?

If you can’t turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime, read this support article --> If you can’t turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support


Also try restarting your device. That cleared up an activation issue we had, and it doesn't hurt to try.


If it still isn't working after a day, do as the article instructs and contact Apple --> Contact - Official Apple Support
