I am unable to activate Messages and FaceTime on my new iPad

New iPad Air 11.

Trying to activate texting. Get popup requesting AppleID and pw, then loooong wait, then error message saying (approx) " Can't reach Facetime Server, try again."


Also: Facetime not activated and have similar error trying to do that.
