Hello please i need help. Couple of days ago after i’ve changed my phone from iphone 6 s to iphone 10 it is impossible to activate imessage on my phone number which remains same. First of all i’ve checked internet connection (both) than phone settings and so on. After i’ve visited office of my provaider where they told me that there was no problem but problem remains unsolved because imessage is still disabled. please help me with activation. Thank you in advance

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 ...



*** You may not have an SMS plan enabled by your carrier for the SIM/eSIM that you use on your device. Apple Inc does not provide SMS services.
