Undelivered texts and imported number issues
I’ve recently joined this network and imported my number, I’m having a few issues firstly text messages are only sometimes getting delivered, most of the time is coming up undelivered sometimes it’s not delivered at all, but others they’ve had it 3 times, and sometimes it works, my other issue is I imported my number but for a few people it comes up with the wrong number but others it works fine, I’m not very technical so please keep it simple 😊

Hello @Brunster ,
Thanks for confirming this.
In regards to the iPhone's getting the wrong number, this indicates it may be the iMessage number needing to be manually updated.
Can you try the following:
In some cases, when you port over your number, iMessage doesn't update the number automatically. This is why for calls, your ported number shows but when you text people, they see the old iD Number.
Once that updates, it may well also resolve the issue of texting non-iPhones.
Can you test this and let me know please?

Hello @Brunster ,
Let's try get to the bottom of this and see if we can sort this.
Is it a specific person/number who is having issues receiving your texts?
Is this an iPhone you're using or a different device?
