Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I got my iPhone 12 yesterday and have not been able to get my iMessage or Facetime activated using my phone number. I've been able to recieve SMSs and have tried all the methods to try to get to activate on the Apple Support website but none have worked. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
iPhone 12, iOS 14
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

4 Step Process --> Turn off and restart iMessage and FaceTime (The order / sequence is very important)
If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
I have tried all of the mentioned methods in this article and none have worked so far
I tried all of this and it still hasn't worked. I've also tried toggling airplane mode and resetting network settings
What about the last one to contact Apple Support directly?
