iMessage Activation Error Why Won’t It Activate?

[sophiadasy]

I just got a new iPhone and tried setting up iMessage, but it keeps giving me an “Activation Error.” I’ve checked my Apple ID and network, but it still won’t work. Has anyone faced this before? What’s the easiest way to get iMessage working again?

You may give the following basic steps a go: Check whether your iPhone has a good internet connection, ensure that you have correctly set your date and time, log out of your Apple ID and log in, and restart your phone. In some cases, it is also possible to wait several hours in case the servers of Apple are busy.
