not receiving text messages

Hi @BOSS91,

Have you tried powering down the handset for 10 minutes and removing the SIM card?

Will

Yes 

Hi @BOSS91, if you’re using an iPhone, can you try this for me?

1)    Turn off iMessage (Settings > Messages)
2)    Restart your phone (by pressing and holding the on/off button)
3)    Tap Settings > Phone > My Number and confirm that it is correct. 
4)    If it is not correct, please enter the correct number
5)    Turn iMessage back to On (Settings > Messages)
6)    Finally, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and see if the correct number is displayed under “Start new conversations from:”. 

Thank you,

Rory

Hi I’m having the exact same issue after i switched from vodafone. I’m doing the live chat conversation but literally getting replies once every 24 hours if that. Please can someone let me know how to resolve this, it’s getting ridiculous now😫

Hello @Kamilaa15

We’ve already picked this up via PM and will investigate there.

Hi, I’m having the same issue. I was already with ID and just upgraded. I transferred the number and activated the sim as requested. I can make and receive calls, I can send and receive iMessages but I can’t send or receive texts. I tried live chat but no one responded and I waited hours. Can someone help ASAP please?

I have the same issue, I upgraded my phone and swapped the sim card now im having issues sending and receiving text msg. Everything else is fine.

We are also having the same issue with SMS, there are 6 of us that use iD Mobile and we are all having SMS issues today

@Geof 

Mine just started working now!!! I am in the South West

Yeah I think ours are all working now, I just received a dozen or so in the last 30 mins... 

Hello @Geof,

This should now be resolved. 

Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

And now I have this issue, can’t receive any sms at all. This is annoying, especially when I can’t receive from paypal, ebay, even from work .

Hi @MarianB 

We are sorry to hear this. Have you tried restarting your phone, taking the sim out, and put back in? Please can you also try the in a different phone and see if you are able to receive any texts?

-Mohsin

Tried everything, including other phone, and no difference.

I’m facing this issue too, iMessaging is not working on my phone. When I go to messaging and tap on my number, it won't let me check it. 

iMessage is activated for my iCloud ID (my email address) however it woundn’t work for my phone number. 

I've tried many troubleshooting methods including the ones on apple support website, I also contacted apple support and they advised I contact ID Mobile, ID Mobile’s customer service has proven useless so far. 

Strangely I am receiving texts from my contacts, or from other ID mobile numbers, but I can’t receive any SMS from companies like NHS, Microsoft for login verification 

Using iPhone 11 with up to date iOS on the date of this post.

Having the same issue with multiple, but not all, companies. Doesn’t seem to be any consistency. Please advise, I just joined ID yesterday and this has been incredibly frustrating!
