For over three days, in the AppleID sign-in and security settings on my iPhone, it said that the number was "Unavailable for iMessage and FaceTime". Clicking on the information "I" revealed "You must have a SIM associated with an Apple device for to be used for iMessage and FaceTime". Over in appleid.apple.com it said the same thing about my number even though it accepted it as a trusted number. After 3 days, this Unavailable status disappeared for my mobile number and it was only then that logging out of iCloud and back in again did the trick. But I don't know why it took so long for my number to become registered by Apple - all the information available suggests that this process should not take very long at all. -- Wilf
