Hi there Milly_dee,

Thanks for joining us in Apple Support Communities! We understand you're seeing an alert indicating iMessage needs to be enabled to send a message on your iPhone. We're glad you're here, and we can provide some guidance.

To begin, you'll want to follow the steps in these links to set up iMessage:

Cheers!
