iMessage stuck on activating, sms not being received

[Jaleelhamid]

Recently switched to public mobile. iMessage is stuck on activating and isn’t activating.

I sent a text to 2 people who have Samsung phones and they haven’t received my text and the text is not failing on my end.

Anyone know what to do? Why is SMS such an issue on Public Mobile?

I have tried rebooting. I have e sim set up. Latest software update.

hi @Jaleelhamid yes, send the message from their own Login, and you have to keep checking all 3 accounts for agent's replies

I will message them. This sucks, I brought 3 people over to public mobile. They are all having issues. Do I need to send a separate message for all 3 people?

hi @Jaleelhamid don't wait for them push the fix to everyone, it is quicker to submit ticket by direct message and ask them to fix yours first 

[Jaleelhamid]

Thank you! So will the eventually release a update to fix it automatically on their end?

hi @Jaleelhamid 

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.
