Pop up messages after update

Hi I updated my iPhone 7 Plus 4 days ago and now I keep getting these pop up messages stating that my network provider may charge for sms messages to activate FaceTime and I message. I’ve logged out of my iCloud and logged back in, turned my iMessages and FaceTime on and off and and I still keep getting theses messages constantly. I thought if I kept both FaceTime and I messages off it would stop but no a whole new pop up message would occur about icloud.

You are using an unsupported carrier, and you will be charged for the background text messages used to activate FaceTime and iMessage.

It is your choice to activate knowing you may be charged, or to cancel and not use these features.

Or you switch to a supported mobile carrier.

Once again:

So turn Off FaceTime and iMessage.

Click Cancel or OK, then change carrier.
