Unable to send/receive text messages

Just signed up for my subscription yesterday - I transferred my number over from another carrier. Confirmed the SMS to authorize the transfer and popped in my Public SIM. I Can make and receive phone calls, and data works fine, but I can't send or receive text messages. SMS messages say they've been sent but aren't received on the other end. MMS messages flat out will not send. We signed up my little brother as well and he's having the same issue. Help!

@Dawson2 - There is an ongoing issue with iMessage and FaceTime activation issues:

Please try and reset your network settings in Settings > General > Reset   ** You will lose most settings - added BlueTooth connections & all Saved Wi-Fi passwords.

Also it is SMS that you are having issues with for the 6 digit authentication code, please contact CS_Agent for re-provisioning SIM card / eSIM:
