I’m using IOS 16.6.1, I suppose that’s the latest version, but I’m having problems with my iMessage and face time, I have tried all fixes, reset the network settings, reboot, turn iMessage off and on, etc but still nothing, and activation is always unsuccessful. What do I do??

You need a strong wi-fi (and / or cellular data) signal, and especially for FaceTime.
You may want to:
Check that you have a contact card for yourself, with email and phone number listed in your contacts app.
Check that you are signed in (to your iPhone) with your correct Apple ID:
