    iPhone iMessage activation fail on Google Fi and iOS 13.3

    After I restore my phone over iOS 13.3 iMessage and FaceTime activation is failing constantly. I use Google Fi and I think must be related to that. I contacted Apple support but they are clueless about it. Anyone else with the same issue?
