iMessage isn’t working in Russia, even though the carrier allows it

Hello! I am in the Russian Federation, and my imessage feature is not working. I contacted my carrier, but they said there were no restrictions on their end and that I should contact Apple.

this is not official apple support


these forums are user helping other users like yourself, it's sort of going

to a physical apple store and asking other customers there advice


if this is some scantions thing, then asking us varoius users like yourself, around the world, is not really going to get you into contact with anyone, who would be in any position to do anything or pass any information to anyone, at apple or the usa government.
