So fun story, my cell phone has not worked with SMS messages for the last month.

Any group text or SMS message sent to me (so anyone w Android) has not been going through. I discovered this when I missed the group text from my parents my grandfather passed away and only learned about it via a distant relative on Facebook.

I JUST got it fixed this past week after about 15 hours between apple and Verizon.

    Yeah I figured I should post here since I do have a lot of the forum guys in my phone, like @pittdogg2

    I’ve not been ignoring you I promise……. I mean I even sent Russ (@lightman) text messages to show off the fact I did some electrical and didn’t die.

    On my phone the messages I sent never error’s out but various messages others sent me did, but not all.

    It was really really stupid.

    So what was the problem that caused this?

    They wouldn’t really tell me (tech said they don’t know what causes it and one of many diff things fix it) but I gathered it had something to do with my SIM card on THEIR network as iMessages (or group messages with just iPhone people) never stopped working.

    My wife had the same thing but a simple network setting reset worked to get her back up and running (didn’t for me obviously). They fixed it on their end by doing “magic”….

    The level two tech mentioned it was happening a lot with the NEW iPhones and a much bigger pain since the SIM cards in those phones are digital rather than physical.

    Interesting. About 2weeks ago a friend and I were texting and all of a sudden in the middle our texts mine just stopped and even deleting him and rebuilding his profile didn't help. I'll call tomorrow and ask if he has an apple phone. He is the only one I've had that problem with.

    I just had a similar issue. I have an Android and am with Verizon. I was sending texts that were delivered but not receiving any back. I didn't notice for a couple days. Tried everything to fix it and eventually started receiving them again. Then 2 days later they stopped coming in again. Everything else worked, just couldn't receive them. The third time this happened I ordered a new phone which I just switched to yesterday. Fingers crossed that the Pixel works better.

    Don’t worry, I’d cover the cost. PS still waiting to hear back about how my investment in getting the Nigerian princes money unfrozen is going.

    My second guess, I thought I was banned for some reason.
