iMessage group chat not working on iPhone 17

[JayiPhone17]

Hi everyone, 

I had followed the instructions I saw on Apple’s website but could not get access to iMessage group chat. I have an eSIM I ordered from public mobile and my messages are working.

can someone please help?

Hi @hTideGnow 

Thank you for all your help.

My regular sms and iMessage both work. Just the group chat doesn’t work.

I’ve removed my old SIM card and this is my first eSIM card.

i restarted my phone and reset my network settings.

nothing has worked so I reached out to CS support and they are working on it. 

I will keep you posted

Hi @hTideGnow thank you for your reply and all your help. 

I had followed your steps to reregister messages but it still doesn’t work. 
Can you think of another strategy that may work?

hi @JayiPhone17 

is mobile data working?

you can reregister iMessage.  Go to Settings, manually remove the phone number, reboot phone and go back to the settings menu and manually add it back
