Ever since my number was switched over, I am unable to send text messages or receive them. I am also being told that when I send text messages to people, they are receiving the same message 10 times or more in a row.
Question
problems with switching numbers

Hi
That’s an unusual thing to be happening. How long ago did you port over your number? What’s the make and model of the handset you’re using?

Hi- I ported my number over at least a week ago.
i have an iPhone 11 Pro Max.
Hi
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:”.
Let us know how you get on!
Thank you,
Rory
