Make sure that your software is up to date

Check your Apple ID
To make sure that your Apple ID and password are correct, go to the Apple ID account page and sign in with the same Apple ID that you're using with Messages and FaceTime. If you're able to sign in, open the app and take these steps:
* Messages: Choose Messages > Settings (or Preferences), then click Sign Out. Sign in again with the same Apple ID you used on the Apple ID account page.
* FaceTime: Choose FaceTime > Settings (or Preferences), then click Sign Out. Sign in again with the same Apple ID you used on the Apple ID account page.

Check for third-party software
If you installed firewall, security, VPN, or other third-party networking software, make sure that the software isn't blocking any of the network ports used by iMessage and FaceTime. If necessary, disable the software and then try using your iMessage account or FaceTime again.
Check VPN (Virtual Private Network) and third-party software to help resolve network connectivity issues


Cheers.
