iMessage doesn’t work

I have a new problem! iMessage was set up on my number in previous iOS versions. After updating system software, I set it on my apple id & once I tried to change it back, it doesn’t work anymore:( Also I live in Iran and country code is not available in the list of iMessage settings! Any solution?!

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 ...
