I have exactly the same issue, almost a couple of yearswithno problem now suddenly not receiving texts - this is losing me business and is so frustrating 

No, for all the questions. I have ported to you guys 9 months ago and have been using same handset. I didn’t disable iMessage 

My mothers phone has been failing to send and recieve any texts today. She has service, her calls and data is working but no texts. Can you help with this?

Hello @Mcodyowen@icloud.com,

Sorry to hear that.

How can we help?

Are other messages working as expected? Have you recently ported a number over to us?

Hello @KatKav 

Is this specific numbers that you’re not getting texts from or random?

e.g. you said you know 2 of them, so when they text again, did the message send or still not go through?

Was it defintiely showing delivered at your end?

@Paul El 

There are reported wide spread issues with the three network effecting text, however thankfully calls are still working for now!

(iD Mobile runs on the Three network)

Hopefully it’s just be a short term outage, thankfully they are aware of the issue and working on it.

You should still have data and if you have an iPhone could use the iMessage service to send messages to those contacts that have that similar service on the iphone.

Hi Paul, have you managed to speak to anyone or sort the problem?

No I haven't spoken to anyone but it looks like it's now in hand. See the thread below.

Same for me. I am trying to validate my identity on several websites, but not receiving any OTP for the past 3 days. 

What’s the point of having coverage if you cannot use the service?!?

Having read your response to another question of the same issue - of those I know of, these are text messages and I dont know their network. 

I dont know how many others I am not receiving as I receive enquiry by texts from potential customers and so could be losing business because of this

Not getting text messages from some service providers , banks, HMRC etc . They have been sending OTPs and am not getting them. Though, I sometimes get text messages from NHS, and from my contacts. This started happening for the last one month or so. 
I use iPhoneX and have been with iD for 9 months. Data and calls are fine through WiFi calling service. 

Any help ??

Hi @ayman82,

 

Just a few questions sorry:

 

How long has this been the case?

Have you recently ported a number into our network?

Is this from all numbers, or any in particular?

 

Cheers,

 

Will

Hi @randomthought,

 

Have you tried disabling iMessage when requesting the codes?

 

Have you ported your number into us, or performed an update on your handset recently?
