Not receiving texts after returning from the US

I was in the US roaming for the last week and had excellent success with connectiviity, send/receiving texts, making calls, etc.  however since I returned back to Canada yesterday, I can send but NOT RECEIVE texts from anyone.  Can someone provide troubleshooting on this?

This is unfortunate. In retrospect I’m wondering now if it would have been better to buy a SIM card from a US carrier than to buy the roaming Add-on. The roaming feature worked fine, but this known issue with transition back to my regular plan upon returning to Canada is unacceptable.

@ShawnC13 I think longer than just waiting for the self-resolution, unfortunately.

 

@Spokeshave do note that any messages sent to you until it's resolved are totally gone and you will have no idea who tried to contact you (unless they happen to follow up to ask why you haven't replied).

It is a know bug that you have to wait for 1 day after your US roaming add-on expired.
