SMS notifications not happening

[Charmaine1234]

I am not receiving notice of SMS messages coming in.  Also sometimes the messages do not show up for hours after they were sent to me.  Often the messages will not have a time stamp. I have checked and verified all my phone notification settings are correct. This has been happening for months since I bought a new Motorola 5G Ace. Is it the phone or the service? Any ideas on how to resolve this?  Thanks.

@Charmaine1234 you ever try your PM sim to m another phone to see if you have the same problem? it could be a phone issue

Hi @Charmaine1234 

backup your stuff and do factory reset.

I tried that and thought it worked but now am back to the same problems. A SMS message from earlier today just came in. People phone, sometimes the phone will not ring.

Did you check the APN of Moto 5G Ace?

See if it matches:

I would suspect it is something with the device or app.

Can you uninstall your messages app, then go ahead and reinstall it?

edit, removed same info as @hTideGnow already included, sorry missed that.

Unlikely to be Public mobile service issue.

Likely phone set up issue, specifically with messaging app. Could even try a different texting app. 

I did a quick google search:

Try adjusting Chat messages options.

1. tap Messaging app, 
2. tap 3 little dots top right, 
3. select Settings, 
4. under Chat settings, scroll to "Select default messaging type", 
5. toggle it to Automatic or Text/multimedia msg
