Background: It turns out that the FT and IM functions of iPhone12 have been used for several years and are normal. Recently, I changed to a new phone and found that it cannot be activated. It prompts an activation error. Please try again.
1. Try to activate it with other operators and activate it in seconds; Try using id activation, seconds activation.
2. Contact Apple to check the background data, and there is no abnormality in the id. The answer is: It may be that the telecom has blocked the international SMS service, so you can wait 48 hours after the telecom is turned on and then try again.
Third, contact the online customer service of Telecom. Customer service also means trying to open the international SMS service.
4. After waiting for 48 hours after opening, it still cannot be activated.
5. Continue to complain about telecom. The telecom background call business is normal, and you may have to find Apple to solve it; I insist that other operators' cards are activated in seconds, but telecommunications will not work, so the problem of the mobile phone itself will be eliminated; It is recommended to change the card in the telecom business hall.
6. Run to the business hall to change the card, plug it into the mobile phone, turn on the activation switch, and no error is reported. It shows: Waiting for activation. Activation was successful after 15 minutes.
Doubt: After China Telecom opens the international SMS service, it will not reset the data. After the card is changed, the service is reset, so it resumes normal use. Although it can be used, the activation speed is very slow, unlike other operators that activate in seconds.

Poster Apr 14, 2025@ Anonymous464 I kept reporting errors before I changed my card. Maybe I was blocked by telecom.

Anonymous2020 Apr 14, 2025Maybe the reason the sim card is too old: If the user's SIM card was connected to the network before April 2020 and has not been replaced with a new card, it is recommended that the user update it as soon as possible, otherwise the international/Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan roaming function may not be able to be activated from December 1, 2024. https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/ZT5UluZwvxM53Iu-HBQc-w

Poster Apr 14, 2025@ Anonymous2020 didn't notice this notice before. Then, when looking for a telecom solution, the customer service also shirked the buck first, and finally put forward the plan of changing the card.

Anonymous4414 Apr 14, 2025Visual inspection is that the card is not caused by the new version. Customer service may not be able to determine that this is the case, because it is the card problem

Anonymous640 Apr 15, 2025Sichuan Telecom, the complaints against China Telecom, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, looking for Apple, and changing the SIM card have not been resolved, so it has to give up. Mac information forwarding can only be achieved by relying on another overseas eSIM.

Poster Apr 24, 2025@ Anonymous5933 Sichuan Telecom may be a bit difficult. I think most of the things that can't be solved online are Sichuan Telecom. I can only try to complain to Gongxin.

Anonymous4415 May 2, 2025My Guizhou Telecom card can't activate iMessage and FaceTime. It hasn't been done since January 2025. During this period, I went to Apple and China Telecom, and they all said there was no problem. I also went to China Telecom to activate the international SMS receiving function, but it still couldn't activate

Anonymous4415 May 2, 2025After looking for China Telecom to activate the international roaming and international SMS reception functions, I used my American mobile phone card and Guizhou Telecom to send text messages to each other to test. The telecom card's sending and receiving international SMS functions were normal, but I still couldn't activate iMessage and FaceTime, which wasted me several dollars in vain. International SMS fee
