Hi,
I am a fairly new convert to Public mobile. I did the switch last month & everything seemed fine. Just over the last couple of days though I am having trouble sending texts.The only way I can force a text to send is to remove the SIM card, wait, re-insert it, power phone back on & then the text will send. Any suggestions?
@Islandgirl56 What kind of phone? Which plan are you on? Is the issue with SMS texts, or MMS(pics and/or video included) texts?
Is it not sending to someone specific or everyone?
It's an iphone 5s. I am on the $15 plan. Yesterday it was an mms message, but today I was just tryng to send a regular text.
@Islandgirl56 Did you just pay for your plan? It may not have reset properly Try these tricks:

Different people.
@Islandgirl56 Any chance you're using iMessage, and MAYBE need to change the settings to "SMS" for that app?
No I didn't just pay. I switched over last month & checked to make sure everything worked okay, which it did until the last couple of days.
I have both imessage and sms enabled to make sure they both work.
