FaceTime on iPhone8 does not activate

FaceTime on iPhone8 is stuck on ‘waiting for activation’. I’ve tried switching off the phone and back on again, but the same thing happens.

FaceTime Will Not Activate I cannot activate FaceTime on my brand new iPhone 13. It says unable to activate and the message reappears when I click it off. I have tried restarting, signing out of AppleID and restarting, restarting Network Settings, to no avail. Anybody have any ideas since I cannot get a person to help me with this?
