If you can’t turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime, click here --> https://support.apple.com/HT201422

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

Also try restarting your device. That cleared up an activation issue from us, and it doesn't hurt to try.
