iMessage activation error with Apple ID on iPhone without service
in don’t have service on my phone so I am trying to use my Apple ID iCloud email for iMessages but when I try to select use Apple ID, it will do nothing and then a minute later say “an error occurred while trying to activate iMessage, try again” and I’ve tried like 10 times, I’ve restarted my phone twice (also the phone number below is not mine anymore it it won’t let me remove it)
