iMessage and face time activation unsuccessful

Cannot use FaceTime and iMessage. Every time I tried to on it it says activation unsuccessful. In the send and and receive addresses, my mobile number is not there. I tried this by restarting the device and in some other several ways.

iPhone 11

o activate iMessage and FaceTime using your Phone number


First, check to know whether you have an SMS plan enabled at least for One SMS with your carrier. Contact your Carrier (Cellular Service Provider) the agency that issued the SIM to you


If your iPhone is used with a carrier not found in the wireless carrier articles, make sure you can send and receive international SMS. (One SMS Only)


If you can't turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime - Apple ...


If the above process does not work then simply disable WiFi and enable iMessage over 4G
