I got a new phone and have been trying to activate iMessage and FaceTime. However it only says waiting for activation, activation unsuccessful or an error during activation. It’s not the carrier cause my family has the same and theirs work. Mine doesn’t. It only works with Apple ID but not my phone number.
iPhone 15, iOS 17

Thanks but I have tried that too. I have tried to reset the network and everything yet it still hasn’t worked. Should I wait for a week or something?
What did Apple support say when you contacted as outlined in the link I provided?
