Imessage or facetime not working on ios 26

Hi Guys, I updated to iOS 26 earlier today, and I notice that my iMessage and FaceTime aren't working. I keep receiving a message that my number is “unavailable for iMessage and FaceTime.” Before the update, my phone was working just fine. I have already contacted my provider, and they didn't provide any assistance. I also restarted my phone, but still no luck. Has anyone experienced this issue too and been able to fix it?

iPhone 12, iOS 26

I have a similar problem with FaceTime, if they call me using FaceTime video the call hangs up at the first ring, but if they call me using FaceTime Audio everything works without problems. I have searched and read many articles and other people on Reddit present similar problems after updating to IOS26, I guess we will be like this until Apple decides to solve it.
