iOS9 upgraded, now unable to activate iMessage or Facetime.

Question

I just upgraded to io9 and I can not get iMessage or Facetime activated. When attempting to sign in using my Apple ID to active either Facetime or iMessage, I get a message back stating "An error occurred during activation. Please try again." I know this is not a password issue, as I am able to log into iCloud without issue from this iPhone.

Very strange... while on a chat session w/Verizon Support... everything just started working.  They say they didn't do anything on their end, but things look to have cleared up on their own.
