texting not working

[T_Sullivan]

I just switched to Public Mobile yesterday and everything else is working but I can't send or received texts.  Is this something in my phone settings?

I have powered off the phone a couple of times, and for as long as an hour or more.  No change when I power it back on.  Will try submitting a ticket.  Thank you.

I have experienced this with 3 of the 7 lines that I switched over to Public Mobile. I was able to get one of them fixed today (I just had to power my phone off for 3 minutes and then turn it back on and it was able to text). The other one I am not able to check to see if that will fix it as it is my sons phone and he is at school right now. And the other one is an ESim issue, so its more than just not being able to send/receive texts.

So if you can access your data and make calls, try powering off your phone wait 3 minutes then turn it back on.

hi @T_Sullivan 

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.
