It's almost is if you didn't read the OP's question. All those tips appear only to be helpful after a successful activation. Do you have any pointers (a) that are helpful when activation fails, and (b) that are not already mentioned as part of the basic troubleshooting process at "If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support"?
I've tried everything. Nothing works.
