@@mollyobrien8981 no? basically i just started to mess with the calls? like i was just ringing my mum a lot? and after a while of messing with messages it just disappeared. i’m sorry that’s not the most help 😕 i hope it works out for you soon though 🙏
When you say email do you mean Apple ID which is an email address you use when creating an Apple ID. When I try and activate it seams I have to use the Apple ID. When I try and activate the phone number which incidentally is verified it doesn't work. Ive waited the 24 hours done all the troubleshooting spent hours with carrier and Apple and now its been escalated by Apple three times and with an Engineer. Its a brand new iPhone 14 Pro and all the IOS is up to date. No joy whatsoever.
@@heartattack60 Apparently there was a problem with my brand new iPhone 14 Pro. They data logged it for 24 hours. Was escalated three times before their engineers got involved behind the scenes. Plus their servers can be very slow and it can take 24 hours. They never really gave a satisfactory reason to me as to why it didn’t work. I told them there are plenty of blogs around with similar reports of the same issues. Hey they are Apple, and just shrugged that point off. In the end it did get sorted and I suspect they hard coded a forced activation at their end for my specific phone number although they would never admit to that. It’s what my carrier said they needed to do right from the day I had problems activating the phone number.
Make sure your phone number is correctly added in your device’s settings. You might also want to check if your number is verified by Apple. If the issue persists, try restarting your device or updating to the latest iOS version.
If you're not seeing the option to activate iMessage with your phone number, try the following steps: Ensure your device is connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data, and make sure you have the latest iOS update. Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and check if your phone number is listed.

I edited my phone number but it doesn’t show up when o click “send and receive”
It’s just my email address there
The same case with me, how to resolve it?
Make sure your phone number is correctly added in your device’s settings. You might also want to check if your number is verified by Apple. If the issue persists, try restarting your device or updating to the latest iOS version.
What to do if say waiting for action
What if it doesn't send me the verification code even though I typed it correctly
Make sure you have a strong signal and try toggling Airplane Mode on and off. Also, try to turn off and on the iMessage in your settings.
It says someone has it
when i go to the name and other stuff that isn’t an option for me:(
