you must have a sim associated with an apple device for to be used for imessage and facetime

It seems that my phone can't detect sim card, this message appears in appleid stating that the added phone number does not connect to the Apple device even though the sim card already exists and the same number has not changed anything, I contacted Apple support and did not solve the problem, I tried almost all the solutions, so that I made full configurations for the device and the settings, and it's no use… check photo.

I think I figured it out.

Settings > Messages > send & receive

make sure the phone number you have is checked. It may need to verify, but doesn’t take very long at all.

now when you go to

settings > Apple ID, iCloud+, media & purchases > Name, Phone Numbers, Email

the phone number should appear. Without any issues. It may take a bit of time for it to register… but once I texted from another apple device over to the phone… everything was working fine.

hope it works for you too.
