QUOTE(evilhomura89 @ Jul 22 2017, 12:26 PM) I'm facing this issue as well, I have a feeling it's celcom's issue rather than apple Not sure why it is coming in as standard text message Let me know if you managed to solve it I have exactly the same problem on my iPhone with Celcom Xpax. Tried all the solutions I can find on internet (turn on/ off, restart, date and time correct, region is correct, restore and even setup as a new phone) and Celcom people has no clue too even they have reset my SIM card for me at their end. I keep receiving exactly the same string SMS when iPhone is trying to activate iMessage via phone number, iMessage with Apple ID has no issue at the moment. One thing for sure, Tunetalk SIM card also not working bcos using Celcom carrier 28.2.25, however, hotlink SIM card works after waited for 5 min, phone number managed to show under iMessage. Who to blame? Apple whom has recently updated to iOS 10.3.3 or celcom SIM card? |

I am using iPhone 6S Plus. Same problem! called Celcom, nothing they can do, after reset my sim card from their end, still the same! |

Current status:
iMessage still showing activating ...
iMessage with Apple ID is OK!
Receiving string SMS from Celcom every 30 min or so
By end of the day, it will tell me Activation Unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again
Same goes to FaceTime
iPhone 6S Plus
iOS 10.3.3
Celcom Carrier 28.2.25

QUOTE(lordfariq @ Jul 25 2017, 01:25 AM) Call and report at celcom yesterday but they aais rhere is no error on our end.. call apple cs said the same thing no problem with i message server In the end i get almost 10 sms string withinf a day starting 21/7 till now.. I can confirm this is not apple problem This is celcom fault and they not even realize Exactly bro, they told me I am the first in Malaysia to complain ... lol. My suggestion is leave it as it is, like my case, I wait till it stop activating, I use iMessage via Apple ID for now and hopefully more Celcom users call to complain, only they will do something e.g.: a new update of carrier setting ... etc. Don't think Apple will come out with another update so soon. |
