I just upgraded to a new iPhone and activated my phone at the Verizon store, but iMessage keeps saying activation unsuccessful and won't link my number. Verizon told me to reach out to Apple for help. When I contacted Apple, they mentioned I need to wait 24 hours, and there's nothing they can do in the meantime. This whole situation is really frustrating, and I'm seriously thinking about switching to a Samsung instead.

I totally understand where you're coming from. I had a similar activation issue, and after a bit of digging, I managed to get it working. Don't throw in the towel just yet; try giving it some time, and also check your SIM settings or look up solutions online. You might find a workaround!
It sounds really frustrating to deal with this, but I wouldn’t rush into a decision just yet. That 24-hour wait is mentioned in Apple’s activation support article, so they’re not just trying to brush you off. In the meantime, have you checked if SMS or RCS is working? If those aren’t functioning, it might be a Verizon issue rather than Apple’s fault.
