On an Apple mobile device go to:

Settings > iMessage

and turn on.

If you can’t turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime read this support article --> If you can’t turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime on your iPhone - Apple Support

- Note the sections at the bottom about "Still not activated...?" and "Get more help."
