Problem activating my phone number with iMessage/FaceTime

Hello!

I'm having issues with the iMessage/FaceTime activation with my phone number. I tried reinserting the SIM card, getting both option off, restarting the phone and logging on both again and nothing.


Anyone can help me with this? Thanks in advance

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Have you reinserted the SIM as suggested?


Do you have access to another WiFi network where you can try? That has worked for several people.


Try a restart.


Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch         


Try a forced restart.

If necessary


Hard reset.        


Do a backup and try a factory reset. Then restore from your backup.


Restore to Factory setting.
