How can I resolve iMessage and FaceTime activation issues on iPhone?

If you are getting the error message on your iPhone that your iMessage or facetime is not activating or this phone number can't be activated with iMessage or facetime. It's either because you removed the sim card from your phone or it's a new sim card in your phone. I spent numerous hr's with resetting , disabling this and that and nothing worked. I finally found a resolution and believe it or not it was apple that gave me the correct fix. It makes sense what apple said. The reason you are getting that message is because the sim card was removed from the phone , in my case I put in another sim and then put back my original sim. What they said it's a security feature in case someone steals your phone and takes out your sim card and puts it in another phone and tries to run a scam or calls with your sim. In my case I put the sim back in my phone and it locked the iMessage and facetime option, what apple said was my account was locked because i tried to activate iMessage to many time and it will take 24 hrs for the system to auto unlock and that no one can unlock it you have to wait the 24hrs , hopefully this helped with those with the iMessage and facetime lock.
