iMessages and FaceTime greyed out
iMessages and FaceTime are greyed out on my son's iPhone 4. Wifi is connected. Have tried turning phone off and on again. How can I get iMessages working or is the phone too old somehow?

Can you Text on the iPhone?:
The phone needs to have SMS services for both to work. If you carrier does not provide you with SMS services, then it will not work. So, contact your carrier, asking them about setting up SMS messaging services.
As for having an iPhone 4:
Consider upgrading to a more-recent iPhone model, as his iPhone is incompatible with many of today's devices and services. It cannot be upgraded to the latest iOS(iOS14), and it does not get any more security updates. Thus, it is more prone to failure.
