Hello, I just got the iPhone 12 pro and switched over everything. But now my messages are sending under my email and it won’t let me change it to my phone number. Any suggestions I’ve tried almost everything and it just keeps saying iMessages activation unsuccessful.

Criteria: For activating iMessage, you need one-time SMS messaging service (If you have one, skip this) to be activated on your phone number. Depending on your carrier, you might be charged for this (for iMessage activation only) SMS.
If you have dual SIM then each time you switch plan between one number with another for iMessages this activation will be charged by your carrie. See the section :- Send Message with iMessage and SMS/MMS it is clearly said; additional charges may apple.
Contact your Carrier (Cellular Service Provider) The agency who issued the SIM to you to know whether you have SMS plan enabled at least for One SMS
See the pic below
4 Step Process --> Turn off and restart iMessage and FaceTime (The order / sequence is very important)

This worked for me, but wow, how I hate it when there's a disconnect with Apple ID and FaceTime/iMessages. And it seems to happen very frequently, grrrrr...
Can't change my iMessages to my phone number
