I have been unable to activate FaceTime or iMessage on my iPhone 12

new to iphone but when i try put my number (which is the sim in my iphone 12) it tells me rhe number is not available for Facetime and Messages because its “not associated to an Apple device” this confuses me bc its literally the sim??? Facetime and Message therefore say unsuccessful activation and i literally have no idea what to do. I don't know if changing the number would even help me
