iPhone5 iMessage not activating with Qtel
my iPhone5 iMessage not activating with Qtel.
so I bought a Vodafone sim and put it in my iPhone5 and the iMessage works right away. But when I switch back to the qtel sim, it is stuck on waiting for activation and after a while it gives me an error.
So obviously it’s a network issue and not the phone issue. I have tried going to StarLink then to Qtel then calling the Qtel but no one knows what’s going on.
Any help will be appreciated
Ugh, that's frustrating! Let's try a few things. First, make sure you're connected to a strong Wi-Fi or cellular network. Sometimes, a weak connection can cause activation issues.
Next, check your date and time settings. Make sure they're set automatically. Incorrect settings can sometimes interfere with activation.
If that doesn't work, try turning iMessage and FaceTime off and then back on. This can sometimes refresh the activation process.
As a last resort, you can try restarting your iPhone. Sometimes, a simple restart can fix weird glitches.

In my case it has nothing to do with my phone or my settings. its the Qtel that needed to reset my account.
And it works. Thank you Qtel for the help.
Now this is what happened: Qtel asked me to email my phone number to them two days ago. Today when I turned on my cellular data and the 3G, my phone went to No Service. Then I decided to restart my phone and turned on the iMessage and Facetime again, after 2 minutes iMessage and Facetime got activated. I tried the same for my wife iPhone5 and it works.
Looks like some one on the Qtel side did the reset on my account after they received my phone number.
oh....if u have the settings for qtel and vodafone both then u cant connect...u have to reset the settings and try once more...definately it will work
@ wajahat haider, i already have the qtel settings, like you said, it doesnt work.
Yes you are right, its not connecting with Qtel.
I tried this many times, not only on my iphone 5 but also on a 4s. It didnt work.
Just put the imessage off and on and there is a message displaying something like your service provider will charge you for sms, select cancel. Like this its working for me.
its easy....in your settings...when you will go to cellular data network...the APN is (gprs.qtel)...leave username and password...save it and restart your iphone...it will work in qtel also.....
regards,
well if u put vodafone sim in it...it will give u the settings automatically...but if u need to use qtel...u have to do the settings manually for iphone 5...
