Hi Taurus80Peter

I've asked for your post to be moved to the main help boards.


Go into settings,messages,send and receive.

Make sure theirs a tick next to your mobile number and email address where it says Can be reached at by iMessage and also where it says Start a conversation From.

Your Apple ID should be at the top in blue.

Apple help links

If that's their then follow the tips in the links and also try toggling off iMessage in settings,message and wait for activation.

If still no joy make an appointment here http://www.apple.com/uk/retail/geniusbar/ and they will take a look for you. If you don't have an apple store nearby then seek help from a Guru in your local O2 shop.

Let us know how you get on.

Also have you put credit on your sim card?  Maybe the sim isnt activated.
