iMessage, SMS and call receiving
I recently got a new contract with ID, and cancelled my old one with them, as it wasn’t in my name (I was under 18 at the time of its start date). I wanted to keep that old number, but to avoid the fee I saw mentioned using an intermediate carrier to PAC between. I PACed out of ID to the intermediate, then from the intermediate back to ID. The ID app shows the correct phone number, however when I go to activate iMessage for that number, I either get no action, or a popup saying an error occurred. I have followed all the steps I can find online to potentially help fix it -signing out of Apple ID, turning off iMessage and Facetime, resetting network settings, restarting the phone without a SIM and leaving it for a few hours, and even tried factory resetting. Went into Apple and the SIM was tried in another phone, with the same issue, so I and they believe its an issue with the SIM, not the phone. A bit of extra info - I can send texts and they arrive to the recipient in the correct numbe
