Hi, maybe someone knows a solution to this problem?

I never turned on FaceTime/iMessage since I got my iPhone. I also don't want to use it, as none of my contacts uses any of these.

Anyhow I get pop ups almost every day. The message is the common FaceTime message that enabling it might cost depending on carrier etc.

I always click on cancel when this pops up, but it keeps coming back the next day, sometimes several times.

Is there a way to stop iOS from this annoying behavior?
 
Are you doing something in particular when it comes up? It shouldn't be coming up on its own unless you are trying to use it somehow or perhaps it's stuck in some state where has been trying to turn on from some time ago and keeps on failing for some reason and trying again.
 
No, it appears randomly. Might be a bug in iOS.

I never use FaceTime, I cancelled it right on first setup.
