imessage & facetime unable to login with a new Apple id

I recently purchased XS max and created a new Apple ID. I wanted to use the new one so that I logged out my old Apple account from my Macbook. I've been trying to login into imessage and facetime by using the laptop but it's not working. What's wrong? (imessage and facetime work perfectly with the phone)

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.14
