Greetings Ariana0147,


If you are having difficulty activating iMessages, follow the guidance found here:


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


"Check your device settings

  1. Make sure that you’re connected to a cellular data or Wi-Fi network. 
  2. If you're using an iPhone, you need SMS messaging to activate your phone number with iMessage and FaceTime. Depending on your carrier, you might be charged for this SMS.
  3. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time and make sure that your time zone is set correctly."


Take care.
