Hi Gerardo, to activate I message and face time so that it's associated with your phone number, your iPhone sends a text message to a number controlled by Apple. When Apple received the text message, it sends a reply text message. You don't actually see this message as a user, but the message contains an authentication token, which then causes I message and face time to work with your telephone number. Apple does it this way to be sure that you really do own the telephone number in question.
A couple of things could be happening. First, I would go into settings, phone, and ensure that your telephone number there is correct. Assuming that it is correct, I would contact your carrier and explain what's happening. Either the text message isn't being received by Apple, or Apple's reply to you isn't being received. Either way, your carrier may be able to help. Best of luck.
