Welcome to Apple Support Community!

If you can’t turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201422

Turn off and restart iMessage and FaceTime

1. Go to Settings > Messages and turn off iMessage.
2. Go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off FaceTime.
3. Restart your device:

It might take up to 24 hours to activate iMessage and FaceTime. If the issue continues after 24 hours, follow these steps:

1. Make sure that your device has the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.
2. If you're using an iPhone, contact your carrier to make sure that you can send and receive SMS messages.
3. If your iPhone is used with a carrier not found in the wireless carrier articles, make sure you can send and receive international SMS.
4. Contact Apple Support.

Hope this helps
