Hi Sravan,

Thanks for your quick reply,

I think you get my message wrong or I may didnt explain my issue in details..

I am not facing any issue with iMessage service.
iMessage service is working just fine.
I am having issue with normal messaging system where message center phone number required.
Now when I spoke to service provider, they ask me to update it manually in order to receive normal messages.
In android phones, I remember there is one setting .. but didnt get this on iphone 7+ iOS 12.

Please let me know if you can help me here.

Regards

There is no such thing on iPhone

Settings > Messages > iMessage [Enable]

This will be enabled automatically by your cellular service provider if your have a data plan. Read this..

iMessage is carrier specific service. You need to have data plan loaded on to your plan. Contact them and ask of internet plan and then activate.

"Waiting for activation........" :- waiting for carrier's server to respond, Apple has no role to play in this waiting.

Set up cellular service on iPhone

The cellular connection on your iPhone requires a SIM from a carrier; contact your carrier to set up a cellular plan.

iPhone X and earlier models support one cellular plan using a nano-SIM.

iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR support Dual SIM using a nano-SIM and an eSIM (not available in all regions; iOS 12.1 or later).

iMessage and FaceTime uses internet data. If your network is bad the then you may have difficulty is sending iMessage and call on Face Time

It is always better to use Wifi during FaceTime

Once the iMessage is activated then FaceTime will automatically get activated
