iMessage and FaceTime not working

I’m working overseas from the United States and my I iMessage and FaceTime stopped working. My phone is in airplane mode to save from international data plans but I am connected to strong Wi-Fi. I went through a series of turning off my phone number and restarting my phone based off of previous discussion threads but it still does not work.

iPhone 7, iOS 11

To activate iMessage and FaceTime a text message is sent to the phone to activate it. With your iPhone in Airplane mode it cannot receive it.
