See the troubleshooting steps in this support document. If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support


If that does not work, then contact Apple support as instructed at the bottom of the support document. They would like you to wait 24 hours after you attempt to activate to make sure it fails at that point.
