Error activating FaceTime and iMessage

Why is it saying that an error occurred for activation for both iMessage and FaceTime? This is a new Apple ID and the password is correct.

You do not have a SIM card in your iPhone. Try activating FaceTime and Messages with your active SIM card installed in the iPhone.

You can use FaceTime over Wi-Fi1 or over cellular on supported iOS or iPadOS devices2. FaceTime isn’t available or might not appear on devices purchased or used in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Pakistan. However, with iOS 11.3 and later, FaceTime is available on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in Saudi Arabia. And with iOS 12.4 or later, FaceTime is available on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in Pakistan. Update your device to get FaceTime in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
