  1. Simple just call ur network operator and request for a 4g sim , enter the 4g sim with ur same mobile number and turn on 4g , within 2 minutes ur iPhone will request u to send messages to activate iMessages click OK . That it in a moment I messages will be activated .

  2. Oh, thanks man.
    I was out of balance to send SMS and I didn’t even bother about it ever. Finally recharging my Sim with couple of dollars, I successfully activated iMessage and now no more waiting for activation error out there.

    1. Thanks for confirmation, I also recharged my iPhone for iMessage activation and successfully completed waiting for activation error solution. You rock.

  3. My data and time was incorrect and so I was getting waiting for activation error while activation iMessage, after correcting that, the error has been disappeared.
    thanks

  4. Hey there,

    I want to know that suppose I tried to reset or restore my iPhone, should waiting for activation error can be fixed? I mean I have to put all the data on risk so before activating iMessage using this method, I need some clarification.

  5. I’m facing annoying error. I’m out of USA and while traveling, I accidentally turned Airplane mode off. I got message that iMessage and FaceTime got deactivated. After this message, I tried to activate iMessage and FaceTime again but the try was unsuccessful.

    I tried contacting to my Carrier and got to know that it can’t be activating while traveling outside USA. I think that Airplane mode trick would work in this case and tried the trick, unfortunately, I’m still getting iMessage activation error, which stats waiting for activation.

    Does airplane mode trick work only in USA?

    1. I tried each and every step mentioned above, but non of these tricks work on my iPhone. What to do now to get rid of waiting for activation error message while activating iMessage and FaceTime? My FaceTime not working!!!
