I did use the # you supplied for the plst file and it activated it but it is for my email only. Up to that point I couldn't even activate my email. Thank you for that very helpful. But I would prefer to have my speakout number activated as well. I don't know why it doesn't work for me? I even reset my iphone and tried your method again still the same thing no phone number.I also tried it on my wifes same thing for hers. I am at a loss, don't know what to do now.
I do have a question for you I see that 3g SIP icon in your message do you have a SIP that works with speakout?

I can't get my phone number to activate just my email. Tried turning it on then off a hundred times still nothing.
So know I am going to contact customer service everyday bugging them to allow short code. If everyone else does the same thing eventually they will cave.

they don't support that so you don't have to try it

I did active iMessage with my Speakout numbers check this out and i have posted the picture to prove it

If they finally allow short code, it could mean $$$. The nice thing right now is, it is not supported so they do not charge.

And short code can eat the balance like there is no tomorrow if there is some rogue app installed.

I've updated my number in the Phone settings using the +1xxxxxxxxxx format. Still can't get it to activate.

Are shortcodes still working for everyone else?

Doing a settings reset didn't help either.

I'm having trouble activating iMessage and Facetime with my phone number. In the Facetime settings under the "You can be reached for video calls at:" section, it says "Verifying" followed by my old phone number, and below that is my current Apple ID email account. In Messages settings, the "Receive At" section just shows my Apple ID.

How do I get iMessage and Facetime to be tied to my current phone number?

Have you tried turning iMessage off and then on? Can't speak for FaceTime as I don't have it myself.

Yes - imessage turned on (took a couple tries) ! Free texts! (well, at least to other iphone/ipad ios people)... and so did facetime...

Keep in mind that iMessage does not work with UMB because it uses port 5223 which of course is blocked.

Just FYI, you always had free text thru iMessage, but other users were only able to reach you with the apple Id. With short codes turned on, your phone number is also part of the party.

Yesterday I successfully activated iMessage but FaceTime just said waiting to activate.. Then this morning FaceTime said unable to activate.. any ideas to why only iMessage activated?

I had the same issue. I just tried again. Eventually it worked.

Did it work for you with just enabling it once? That didn't work for me, but the enable/disable seems to have triggered something to allow the short code to work. Anyway, activate quickly before they close this loophole .

For me iMessage was activated already (but only with Apple ID). So, disable followed by enable, followed by commute home on the subway, followed by instant happiness when I saw that iMessage was activated and "Received At" showed 2 addresses (1 phone number + 1 Apple ID).

I was able to activate iMessage and FaceTime using my phone number this week.

Thanks for the heads up. I lost my "phone activation" when I upgraded to the iOS 5.0.1. It wasn't just hte upgrade which caused me to lose it (I was also messing with SAMPrefs). Trying again now.
