Hey,
Need some advice as pretty stuck at the moment.  I had a Spark prepay sim which I moved to 2degree prepay last night which seemed to go fine, I did the move steps and got up this morning and my phone was working on 2 degrees with my old spark number.
Anyway, was a work and I send the wife an iMessage and she replies saying its come as a different number.  I check iMessage on my iPhone 5S and yep its listing the 2degree number which came with the sim card.   Weird!
I look in the phone settings and find its took the 2 degrees number, even though when I tried a call from the phone it gave me the correct one.  So I change this number to my correct ported one, but I cannot get iMessage to recognise it.
All day it just kept coming up with the 2 degrees number and would hang on "waiting for activation".  So far I have these:-

 

• Turn Off iMessage/FaceTime/iCloud on both my iPhone and Mac
• Change phone number in phone
• Restart phone
• Leave phone off for 1hr
• Reset Network Settings
• Reset All Settings
• Restore phone from backup
• Tried on 2 wifi networks and cellular

Nothing is working.  Its now at the point where iMessage/Facetime only show my iCloud email. No number shows up at all now and it just sits at Waiting For Activation.    I called 200 and talked them through it and all they could suggest was leave my phone off for 24hrs?!  eh?

Anyone else got any suggestions because at the minute I'm dead in the water from a text message perspective.

Thanks!
