iMessage FaceTime not activating

I am unable to activate my FaceTime and iMessage using my phone number. It always says “Activation error” in my iPhone.

The verification process seems never ending.

IMessage and FaceTime Good afternoon! Please tell me why I can't activate iMessage and FaceTime via a mobile phone number? There is a long wait for activation, but in the end nothing happens.

iMessage and FaceTime activation issue on my iPhone 15 Since the day before yesterday, I’ve been unable to activate iMessage and FaceTime. Out of nowhere, I got a pop-up on my screen to turn iMessage on. Before that, everything was okay. I’m using an iPhone 15 with the latest iOS, I’m connected to Wi-Fi, and my date & time settings are correct. When I enable iMessage and FaceTime, I receive a verification text, but in Settings, my phone number keeps loading indefinitely. After 24 hours, it now says “Activation Unsuccessful.” I have already restarted my phone twice, performed a force restart, and waited 24 hours to see if my number would verify, but nothing changed. I also turned iMessage off and on again and waited another 24 hours, but now it just shows an error message. Helpp! [Re-Titled by Moderator]
