When someone tries to FaceTime me it seems them I don’t have an iPhone, what can I do about it?

One of my friends told me he was trying to send me a messages by iMessages, but it didn’t allow him to do it because it mentioned something like “This user doesn’t have an iPhone” I don’t know how can I fix that cause it’s really annoying. Please if you’ve been through a situation like that feel free to share how you fixed it.

iPhone XR, iOS 16

Ask them to Message or FaceTime to your Apple ID, it will work.
Probably you have not activated FaceTime and iMessage for your Phone number.
To activate iMessage and FaceTime using your Phone number
1. First, check to know whether you have an SMS plan enabled for at least One SMS*** with your carrier. Contact your Carrier (Cellular Service Provider) the agency that issued the SIM to you
2. If your iPhone is used with a carrier not found in the wireless carrier articles, make sure you can send and receive international SMS. (One international SMS*** Only)
3. If you can't turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime - Apple ...

*** You may not have an SMS plan (Domestic & International) enabled by your carrier for the SIM/eSIM that you use on your device. Apple Inc does not provide SMS services.
