How do I activate FaceTime and iMessage with my Bangladeshi phone number on my Apple ID?

Hi I’m Anannya from Bangladesh. My Apple ID is “*****@gmail.com” my phone number is +880*******. I can’t activate my FaceTime or iMessage with this number. I have googled several times and saw many ways to activate those but failed. Kindly help me. I even have issues with my security system as I can’t just sign out it was showing security delay.

1. In Settings, Apps, Messages,

2. turn off iMessage

3. in Settings, Apps, Facetime,

4. Turn off Facetime,

5. Power down the phone

6. Turn on the phone again

7. Settings, Apps, Messages, turn on iMessage,

8. Settings, Apps, Facetime, turn on Facetime
