    Hi ​@Pookie67,

    Ā 

    We're sorry to hear you're having issues with iMessage and FaceTime.

    Ā 

    This can sometimes happen after changing networks, replacing a SIM, or transferring your number.

    Ā 

    We'd recommend trying the following:

    • Go to Settings > Phone > My Number and make sure your correct mobile number is showing.
    • Go to Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off.
    • Go to Settings > FaceTime and turn FaceTime off.
    • Restart your iPhone.
    • Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    • Once the phone restarts, turn iMessage and FaceTime back on.
    • Allow up to 24 hours for Apple to complete the activation process.

    Ā 

    You'll also need to be able to send and receive standard SMS messages, as Apple uses these during activation.

    Ā 

    If you're still receiving the registration error after trying the above, please let us know whether you've recently joined iD Mobile or transferred your number, as this can help identify the cause.

    Ā 

    Regards,

    Ā
