If you turned on iMessage and it is waiting for activation, you need to contact with your Carrier to make sure your device can send and receive sms internationally. Please also note that, this activation process can take up to 24 hours.

If you can’t turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support (CA)

As far as I know, there is no such an option. When you turn on iMessage, the system automatically sends an sms to an Apple activation number to verify your phone number. To make sure you can send SMS text from your phone, you need to check with your Carrier.

You can contact with Apple Support as well to see what they can do for you.
