On an Apple mobile device go to:
Settings > iMessage
If you can’t turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime, read this support article --> If you can’t turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
Apple ID activate
If you see the message below, or similar "inactive" messages:
- "Inactive" Apple ID/Account
- "Verification Failed. This Apple ID is not active."
Note that having an "inactive" account is not the same as having a disabled account. To cut to the chase...
According to Apple Community Specialist Brittany1416 in thread Inactive Apple ID - Apple Community , please contact Apple Support for help with an "inactive" Apple ID.
You can reach Apple Support using this link --> Contact - Official Apple Support
or by telephone at one of the numbers in this support article --> Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support
Note that having an "inactive" account is not the same as having a disabled account. If your account is disabled, see this article --> If your Apple ID is locked or disabled - Apple Support
If you deliberately deactivated it, read the section "Can I reactivate my account?" in this support article --> How to deactivate your Apple ID account - Apple Support
