iMessage activation failed

When I try to turn on the iMessage in settings it says my activation failed. I already tried signing out and signing back in. iMessage and FaceTime don’t work.

Contact your carrier and ask if everything is okay on their side.

iMessage activates by sending an international SMS message. Make sure you have money balance and your phone is capable of receiving SMS messages from short numbers.
