The issue was that my carrier said the new phone was activated- but it was not! Had to call my carrier and have them activate the new iPhone a second time and then it worked. Old phone stopped receiving calls and messages. New iPhone working.

[@sheldonwardthen6315]

Hi guys, thanks for this. Got an iPhone in December, kept saying waiting for activation and activation unsuccessful. Following your guide, I signed out of my iCloud, turned off iMessage and Facetime and restarted my phone. Everything is working properly now.

Here are some tips: if you're using dual sim, try removing your secondary sim card, and make sure that your preferred phone number is turned on. Turn off iMessage toggle and turn it back on, and then wait for its activation. It may take up to 1 hour, so be patient. Hope this helps guys.

SOLUTION. This message is a translation with the Google translator, from Spanish to English. if you see errors in the text, that is the detail. In the original text in Spanish, it is perfectly understood. I hope I can help you. After so many attempts, it worked for me as follows, I hope it works for you too. 1. Try to have the internet activated throughout the verification process, be it WiFi or data. If your mobile disconnects for a short time, try to connect it as quickly as possible. 2. You must have a balance on your phone number. This is because to activate FaceTime and iMessage, a cost is required. It is not very clear if the cost depends on the country, but in my case it was the equivalent of 0.069 US dollars. (Make sure you have iCloud activated with email). 3. Add your phone number to your Iphone. Go to (settings, my phone). There you add the number. 4. Add your phone number to your iCloud account. Go to (settings, choose the first box where it says "Apple ID, iCloud, etc. Then select where it says" Name, phones, email ") and in" phone "add the number. 5. After you have completed all of that, restart your phone. 6. Go to (settings, Messages, iMessage) note that the iMessage option is activated to the right, showing the green icon. Notice that before it said "verifying" but it only showed the email. Now you must click where it says "Send and receive", and observe that now it must say "verifying" in the part of the telephone number, showing the number you added previously, which is for which they will charge the equivalent of the aforementioned "0.069 dollars Americans ”. Once it says "verifying", you just have to wait. Be careful (it may take 24 hours), I'll explain it better below. 7. Go back to (settings, FaceTime), and notice that it also says "verifying" in the phone box, with the number already displayed. The end, you can go out now. IMPORTANT DATA: "This verification may take 24 hours", so it says on Apple's official website. In my case, I did not remember the exact time in which I did the verification to know if the 24-hour time had been completed, but I do know that, or it was completed, or it lacked at most 1 hour. Then I went to iMessage, it said still "verifying" and I tapped on that part, and then that's when I gave it back, as the verification was completed successfully. OjO (If you are going to touch “verifying”, wait for the 24 hours to complete to do so.

I don't know if you can help: I've been using iPhones since first introduced in Canada in 2008, never had an issue connecting Messenger on iPhone with Messenger on iMac. Recently I went with a new carrier and now problems connecting Messengers to each other. My iPhone will message me every couple days to take the SIM crd out and re-insert it if I want to keep using the system. I had the SIM card replaced 5 times already and no one seems to know why. This problem has only started shortly after going to this new carrier. I've always used this provider for internet, wanted to switch my cell to same provider as it gives me a discounted price. I've also done all the step you outlined in this video in case. Messenger on my iMac (M1) is just dead - never had this before. My iPhone is XR software 15.5.

Here is a question, anything I can do to stop "Personal Hotspot" from dropping out when I am using it, especially over WiFi. It would appear if I am using my iPhone as a hotspot for my iPad over WiFi the connection drops out if I don't continually use it for a few minutes. There is no setting as to when it should disconnect, it appears it does this by default. It does not behave like this when connected to say a PC via USB. Any ideas guys.

If anyone needs help, just let me know! This a pain for sure, and I finally fixed it. (Btw don’t trust those fake bots in the comments.) All you have to do is turn imessage off, turn FaceTime off next. Hold the power button and volume button until it prompts you to power off, and then hit cancel. Then after that, turn imessage back on and then turn FaceTime back on. Then click your phone number if it’s already not a check by it! Hopefully this fixes this problem for just like it did for me.

Now you must click where it says "Send and receive", and observe that now it must say "verifying" in the part of the telephone number, showing the number you added previously, which is for which they will charge the equivalent of the aforementioned "0.069 dollars Americans ”. Once it says "verifying", you just have to wait. Be careful (it may take 24 hours), I'll explain it better below. 7. Go back to (settings, FaceTime), and notice that it also says "verifying" in the phone box, with the number already displayed. The end, you can go out now. IMPORTANT DATA: "This verification may take 24 hours", so it says on Apple's official website. In my case, I did not remember the exact time in which I did the verification to know if the 24-hour time had been completed, but I do know that, or it was completed, or it lacked at most 1 hour. Then I went to iMessage, it said still "verifying" and I tapped on that part, and then that's when I gave it back, as the verification was completed successfully. OjO (If you are going to touch “verifying”, wait for the 24 hours to complete to do so.
