Tried all the solutions I can find on internet (turn on/ off, restart, date and time correct, region is correct, restore and even setup as a new phone) and Celcom people has no clue too even they have reset my SIM card for me at their end. I keep receiving exactly the same string SMS when iPhone is trying to activate iMessage via phone number, iMessage with Apple ID has no issue at the moment. One thing for sure, Tunetalk SIM card also not working bcos using Celcom carrier 28.2.25, however, hotlink SIM card works after waited for 5 min, phone number managed to show under iMessage. Who to blame? Apple whom has recently updated to iOS 10.3.3 or celcom SIM card?

Current status:
iMessage still showing activating ... iMessage with Apple ID is OK! Receiving string SMS from Celcom every 30 min or so By end of the day, it will tell me Activation Unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again Same goes to FaceTime
iPhone 6S Plus iOS 10.3.3 Celcom Carrier 28.2.25

My suggestion is leave it as it is, like my case, I wait till it stop activating, I use iMessage via Apple ID for now and hopefully more Celcom users call to complain, only they will do something e.g.: a new update of carrier setting ... etc. Don't think Apple will come out with another update so soon.
