My iMessage all of a sudden Stopped working after an update on my phone went through overnight it’s telling me to go to settings which I do and I push it to turn it on and then it comes back and tells me that something went wrong during activation so I don’t know what to do at this point

To 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
