I can't switch Imessage on my phone number

To whom it may concern,

Please help me to connect my phone number in Imessage, I tried everything, I saw every youtube video and guides too, but it only connects to my apple ID.

At least I can use my Imessage and FaceTime but can you please help me to connect my phone number also?


Best Regards,

Nini

To activate iMessage and FaceTime using your Phone number


First, check to know whether you have an SMS plan enabled at least for One SMS*** with your carrier. Contact your Carrier (Cellular Service Provider) the agency that issued the SIM to you


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 SMS*** Only)


If you can't turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime - Apple ...
