If your phone number won't activate in iMessage, try this, go to:

Settings → Messages → disable iMessages.


Restart your iPhone and make sure you're connected to Wi-Fi or Cellular Data and go back and re-enable iMessages. After that; Wait. It may take some time before the number is registered. Also remember that your SIM card must be active and connected to your Carrier before your number can be activated.
