Phone Number Cannot Be Used by iMessage and FaceTime You must have a SIM associated with an Apple device

I went overseas and switched my SIM card out for one that would work in the UK. Once I got back home I put my local provider's SIM card back into my phone. I can make calls and send messages but imessage and facetime doesn't work. I keep getting this message - Phone Number Cannot Be Used by iMessage and FaceTime You must have a SIM associated with an Apple device.

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)
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.
