Hi @cmzust ,
Have you just ported a number?
If not try-reseting your network settings
*removing your SIM for a couple minutes, then inserting it.
*rebooting your phone
*going into airplane mode for a few minutes, then turning it back off
If you have just ported, a cell number from a previous cell provider can take up to 3-4 to complete.
A landline can take a few days to complete.
Good Luck!

@cmzust Imessage and WiFi assist will use data when wifi isn't available. Also, enable sms and mms to send and receive from Android phones. Stay safe.

sync to iTunes
1. Insert new working SIM - do not turn phone on (if SIM is already in, turn off)
2. Connect to computer with USB cable.
3. Start iTunes if it doesn't auto run
4. iPhone will switch on. Wait until iTunes registers it and checks for updates
5. Install the carrier profile update (if offered, if not, go to step 6)
6. Disconnect and restart. From @luddite.
If this fails, reset your network settings and restart your phone if it doesn't automatically do so.
