Why did iMessage get Deactivated all of a Sudden??

I see that there are many posts with this question, and I have tried turning off iMessage and Facetime, restarting my phone, and turning it back on, but when I open in again, the two toggles have turned back on! They still say, "Waiting for activation..." I also don't want to upgrade to IOS 11 because I'm in the middle of something on my phone. Any way around this??


Also I can't find which IOS this phone is, but it's pretty recent and before IOS 11. (I selected 10.3.3)

iPhone 6, iOS 10.3.3
