New to public, can call but can't receive text

PublicUser17

Hello, I recently transferred my phone number from my local carrier 3hrs ago. My mobile carrier on the phone says Public Mobile but texting is not working. I cannot receive and see other people's text. I can call people just fine but I can't send messages.

 

I checked other cases and it seems that my number transfer is incomplete. I also can't view the solution since it says access denied in forum.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Hello @PublicUser17 

Public Mobile is dealing with issues when it comes to SMS on Android and iMessages and FaceTime and such. There is no ETA of when it will be resolved. Here is their announcement.

Hey Community,

We are aware that some of you are currently unable to successfully use iMessage and or FaceTime features,  and we understand how frustrating this can be. Our teams are working diligently to find the cause. 

In the meantime, please try troubleshoot steps:
Tap Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device] > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and will continue to keep you updated. 

Thank you,

  • Public Mobile Team
