3. Now, once you are signed in, toggle iMessage OFF and then a few seconds and then toggle ON again.

4. If this still fails to solve the iMessage issue, go to Settings/General/Reset and tap on "Reset Network Settings". This will reset all network settings including WiFi passwords etc. reboot and check if iMessage is fixed

5. The final resort if all this fails is to reload the iOS firmware again. Backup device, remove any existing backups of any other Apple device that has been backed up on the computer or use a fresh computer.
