Thank you for the screenshot.

Troubleshooting and About iMessages:

iMessages is an app for the app messaging service provided to you by your Cellular Provider. So, it is asking you to set this up. Skip it for now, if you are in certain of this. Not everyone has the service if messaging, for note.

A. Make Sure this is Set Up Correctly:

Go Here: Use Messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

B. Enable Messages in ScreenTime:

1. Go to: Settings
2. Tap: Screen Time
3. Tap: Allowed Apps
4. Tap: Messages (So it is in "ALLOWED APPS")

C. Go Here: If you can’t Turn On or Sign In to iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support

FaceTime and Imessage can’t open.

Yes that is my question

My iMessage isn’t work ll

I’m unable to activate my iMessage

Are you there ?

Some time before me too was facing this issue with the iMessage.

Remove your SIM card then try turning it on with the Apple ID. I am sure it’ll work

Try turning it on without inserting the SIM card with Apple ID
