Hello I'm a new account.

ESIM setup .

I then ported my Chatr phone # and calls and data work fine with the new transferred #.

Only thing not working is the SMS send and receive. 

It seems to stuck on "setting up" with the original temporarily public mobile # (which I an not using as I ported my old Chatr number).

There is a post in the announcement section...

I suggested that Jade "Sticky" it or "Pin" it in the support section as it would help the load of people looking for help. But nope.

Definitely remove your number and picture as you are giving out your private info on a public forum.

hi @LK2020 

Yes, if only SMS an issue, it is a PM system problem with new activation. Voice, data both work but just SMS is the problem. And with the SMS problem, it will affect account verification. PM is aware of the problem and can only fix the issue one account at a time.

Data works as well. 

It's only SMS and MMS that is not working
