sms service not orking

[Gregor12]

I am not getting any text messages. how to talk to an agent?

[Gregor12]

So what finally worked?

Taking the sim card out and putting in to anther phone. Without even restarting the messages starter coming. Then i have put it back, and messages started coming almost right away, without restart, changing any settings or anything.

Before though i did all the suggestions recommended by CS in this, reversed order:

Resetting network settings, that wiped out wifi and Bluetooth settings, but not actually mobile networks and APNs

Setting up new APN and removing old, that actually were grayed out and couldn't be removed

Correcting, changing, adding new APNs and switching between them

Turning off the phone, removing SIM, waiting 2 min, putting back and restarting, after CS have reseted some settings on their end x2

Turning off wifi and putting into airplane mode

So all those steps seemed like a wild goose chase. And putting sim card to different phone and back did the trick. Maybe the old phone got scared that it will be replaced lol

Thank you. Got in touch with CS, awaiting reply

As you wait for CSA help, you could also try a network reset of phone. Note: this will erase any saved Wifi passwords.

@Gregor12 

did you just join PM and requested porting in phone number from another provider?  do you get incoming calls?

if you are getting incoming calls and just not text, are you using Android or iPhone?

if you are using Android, clear Message app cache , or download Google Message and set it as the default message app

Also, try reboot your phone and test again
