iMessage trying to activate wrong number

[Peligro911]

Nope. No need for unlock, just jailbreak functionality.

Only option I see is if you restore and go to iOS 6 or wait to see if it fixes itself

I'll just have to wait for a while. Maybe Apple's servers will straighten themselves out.

Any luck ?

Nope.

 

[Peligro911]

Nope.

Think only option is restore my friend or turn it off

Ugh. My wife wants to hold onto Cydia tethering, but she's getting frustrated by the iMessages showing up as unknown or something else strange. when she texts friends with iPhones who don't have her email. So, like you said, turn it off or try restore. She might be ok with losing the jailbreak if it fixes the problem, but if it doesn't fix it AND she loses the jailbreak, there will be hell to pay.

If a restore doesn't fix I would go to apple and if they can't they will replace the phone and no phone no old number .. I'm pretty sure a restore will fix because phone is wiped doesn't know any number until activation and that is your wife's

Really? It's outside the warranty period.

Then no I assumed it was in the period but I'm sure of that didn't fix it they could help ... I really don't think it will take more then a restore

 

[ght]

Full restore fixed it, though not right away. Still had my old number on FaceTime for a few minutes. Had to sign out if Apple ID before the number would change.

 

[Peligro911]

Glad to hear it worked

 

[ght]

Me too. Would have really stunk to lose jailbreak and still not have iMessage and FaceTime.
