If you swap you SIM into a working iPhone, and sign-in to iCloud with your AppleID, you’ll need to set/verify these settings:

Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging - set to ON


Also ensure that Messages in iCloud is enabled on both your iPhone and iPad:

Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Messages - set to ON
