Based on the screen shot, the Apple ID you are using for iCloud and the Apple ID you are using for Messages is different or you aren't sign into one of the two. In the top line where it shows iMessages, try moving the slide button to the right to turn it on.


See if anything here helps.

Some things you can try. Do you have access to another WiFi network where you can try? That has worked for several people.


Try a restart.

Try a forced restart.

If necessary


Hard reset.
