Moved physical SIM to new iPhone 16, completed transfer, issue with iMessage and FaceTime activation error. Have tried all of the help posted here and via Apple, none of which has resolved the problem. When I joined ID mobile I ported my number in about 18 months ago. Funnily enough for a short period of time the mobile number offered on iMessage and FaceTime was that pre ported number. I believe the issue is with the sim yet I cannot get past all the automation to actually speak with a real human being to check. I am losing the will to live. Any suggestions please on best route to contact ID mobile as I’ve exhausted all of the. Upgrade to latest iOS, sign out of Apple account, deselect the iMessage and FaceTime account, force a hard restart, check the mobile number is correct, ensure the time is correct ……….. and the rest.

imessage and Facetime activation error
Best answer by Quarter
Hi Nat,
thank you for coming back, for info the error message was iMessage activation error, I had to go to curry’s to get a new replacement SIM and that was activated with my number and after 36 hrs it started working correctly.
Lucky for me it has been resolved but it did take some persuasive asks of the chat team to do this having tired multiple times the long list of actions needed to help resolve on my own.
Thank you
Q
