Verifying a Phone Number in iMessage:

Is this a New iPhone?: If so, see this thread. It is an old thread, but it might just work: iMessage stuck on verifying my phone number - Apple Community. Report back the results.

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities Pabey9,

You can use the steps below to activate your number for iMessage:

On your iPhone:

1. Go to Settings > Messages and make sure that iMessage is on. You might need to wait a moment for it to activate.

2. Tap Send & Receive. If you see "Use your Apple ID for iMessage," tap it and sign in with the same Apple ID that you use on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch.

3. In the "You can receive iMessages to and Reply From" section, make sure that your phone number and Apple ID are selected.

4. Go to Settings > FaceTime and make sure that your phone number and Apple ID are selected in the "You can be reached by FaceTime at" section.

Add or remove your phone number in Messages or FaceTime
