What phone do you have?
Do you use Native SMS app or 3rd party app.

I have no issue sending/receiving SMS from/to Android/iPhone but I use Android Native SMS app. Not 3rd party gimmicks.

hi @Chiquita72

yes, the "waiting for activation" could take time, just leave it there

but if it still does not activate after 4 hours, reboot phone, and try again

Solution was to buy a new eSim for $5. This solved the issue immediately.
