1. You fail to understand the difference between iMessage and SMS. IMessages need an active data connection, SMS its sent over the carriers network, so without data, iMessage will not work. I gather you didn´t activate Data Roaming on your device, which is a good thing, cause it can be horribly expensive, so no Data - no iMessage.
2. If you own multiple iOS devices, say, an iPhone as well as an iPad, you will want to sync iMessage threads across them. However, some iOS users have reported that iMessage does not sync correctly between iOS devices automatically, especially between iPhone (iPhone 12) and iPad, after updating their devices to the iOS 14.
