not receiving texts sporadically
Recently ported my number over from Verizon, along with 6 other family members. I have a note 20 ultra and am randomly not receiving texts. Happens more in group texts, but some individual ones too. I can't pin it to only iPhones, since I missed 2 android texts as well...but the majority are from what seems to be certain iPhone users. Some will come thru from them, but the majority won't. No one in my family is having issues. 2 of my brothers are in a group thread I'm in, one has an iPhone, the other a pixel and they are receiving everything. I'm using Google messages, and tried Samsung messenger as well. Issues both ways. I've done every trick t-mobile has suggested. Had their tech support walk me thru resetting the network on my phone, they also did it on their end. They haven't said to do a factory reset...before I try that on my own, does anyone have an experience like this and a solution? I hate factory resets so I wanted to try here first. I have no issues sending texts, and everyone receives them fine. Thanks in advance
T-Mobile DIGITS and iMessage Interoperability
Greetings. I've looked at multiple posts on this topic in this forum and other online sources. However, they vary significantly in terms of problems and potential solutions. After reviewing them, Ijust wondered, is the bottom line that display (processing, receiving, transmitting) of text messages from a DIGITS equipped device to an IOS device just doesn't work or works sporadically? Is this a fundamental interoperability issue, or has anyone has solved the problem or found a work around? My primary phone is an iPhone 12. The DIGITS equipped device that I sometimes use is a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G. Messages sent from an IOS device do not display on the Samsung. They display fine on the iPhone. Thanks Much! Mj
