imessage activation error

I got a new phone and transferred all my data over to the new phone. I can send text messages but do not receive any text messages. I keep getting an “iMessage activation error” message. Anyone know what to do?

iPhone 12, iOS 14

Imessage activation failure How do I get iMessage to activate? When it sends the activation sms it fails every time. iPhone 11, brand new. Tried everything I can find on Web. Contacted my service provider, waited 24 hours, checked software updates, rebooted the phone, reloaded the software. I am freaking out.
