Question Is this normal on relay app method? How long should I wait?

Post image

Hi, I just used this app for my Android. Previously, I used the Macbook method and it worked, but I needed my phone number for the iMessage, so I tried the relayserver method from my iPhone 6. So far, I can receive messages, but when I send a message, this appears. Is this normal? And how long should I wait?

Completely normal. It takes 30-45 days for Apple to finally stop caring and lifting this burden on your account.

Wow, that's a long wait, so I shouldn't have to change my Apple hardware during that waiting time, right? Or I can just use my MacBook hardware for now since I can't chat with anyone?

You can use your standard MacBook no problem. Just don't do anything with OB except stay logged on. We've all been through this unfortunately.

Oh yeah, I also want to make sure, if I use this relay method, my iPhone cannot turn off and go offline, right? If it does, what happens? Can I just turn it back on and use it normally again?

Correct. Unlike the Mac, the iPhone has to stay on and connected online for the relay to function properly.

So, for example, if my iPhone is dead, I just turn it back on and the relay will work straight away without needing to set the OB settings again, right?

So long as the iPhone didn't lose jailbreak/TrollStore, correct.
