Data is working but my iMessage and FaceTime will not activate with my phone number.&nbsp;<BR /><BR />My phone number does not appear under “Send &amp; Receive” in iMessage settings, and I keep getting prompts that MMS requires a valid number I have already reset network settings, restarted the phone, toggled iMessage off/on, and ensured the number is set correctly on my phone settings.&nbsp;</P><P>Please verify that my number is fully provisioned for SMS and that your network is allowing the activation SMS to reach Apple server. At +447786205094</P><P>Thank you</P> Mon, 30 Jun 2025 05:40:45 GMT https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Get-Support/iMessage-amp-amp-FaceTime-can-t-activate-with-my-number/m-p/1347607#M925288 JuliaKoochin 2025-06-30T05:40:45Z https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Get-Support/iMessage-amp-amp-FaceTime-can-t-activate-with-my-number/m-p/1347612#M925291 <P>first, can you receive incoming calls and text?&nbsp; If you can, then it is good, just a problem with iMessage/Facetime</P><P>go into Settings to remove the phone number first.&nbsp; Then reboot phone, and go back to Settings and enter the phone number back.&nbsp; It will then try to re-register but it could take as long as 15 mins</P><P>if still fails, wait a day and try again (remove phone number, reboot, and reenter)</P> Mon, 30 Jun 2025 03:03:52 GMT https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Get-Support/iMessage-amp-amp-FaceTime-can-t-activate-with-my-number/m-p/1347612#M925291 slusagm 2025-06-30T03:03:52Z https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Get-Support/iMessage-amp-amp-FaceTime-can-t-activate-with-my-number/m-p/1347613#M925292 <P>You can also try disabling iMessage and Facetime, then logging out of your Apple ID. Then log back in and turn them back on.</P> Mon, 30 Jun 2025 03:33:15 GMT https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Get-Support/iMessage-amp-amp-FaceTime-can-t-activate-with-my-number/m-p/1347613#M925292 umnikke8 2025-06-30T03:33:15Z https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Get-Support/iMessage-amp-amp-FaceTime-can-t-activate-with-my-number/m-p/1347614#M925293 <P>Not sure what that number is but if it's an account or some other private number you should remove it as this is a public forum anyone can see it.&nbsp; Use the down arrow on the right of your post to edit it.&nbsp;</P> Mon, 30 Jun 2025 03:51:16 GMT https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Get-Support/iMessage-amp-amp-FaceTime-can-t-activate-with-my-number/m-p/1347614#M925293 Rastin 2025-06-30T03:51:16Z https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Get-Support/iMessage-amp-amp-FaceTime-can-t-activate-with-my-number/m-p/1347616#M925295 <P><a href="https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/406387">@Rastin</a>&nbsp;if you meant that +44 number, that is an Apple number, no harm</P> Mon, 30 Jun 2025 04:03:42 GMT https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Get-Support/iMessage-amp-amp-FaceTime-can-t-activate-with-my-number/m-p/1347616#M925295 hTideGnow 2025-06-30T04:03:42Z
