Messages/Reset to factory settings

I was told that by doing a reset/erasing my iPhone 5c that i wouldn't be able to receive/send messages for a full 24hrs. Is this true?

That is false... As soon as the device comes back up and you are past all the setup pages the phone will be able to send and receive messages again. If you want to use iMessage you will need to login to your Apple ID account and then those will work right away as well.
