hmm wondering if that's why can't imessage any of my kids!

@Batman did you or your kids move to Kogan in the last week or so?

Linux: imessage is not a Kogan service

Of course it isn't. What's your point here?

The Kogan supports reps can't help.

@Mehrts Contacting Kogan support is not adding any value

It's not an apple issue either since iMessage is working fine on other Teleco's. So if you like me and contact apple support they will tell you to get in touch with your current Teleco.

After porting to Kogan, iMessage continually showed the spinning wait cursor and "waiting for activation".
Kogan "support" was of absolutely no help and having followed all the advice from reddit & Geekzone the only thing that worked was logging out of iCloud on my iPhone and logging back in.
Good luck!
