I can send text messages but not receive them. I have spent the entire day on Apple support, there is nothing wrong with my phone they say it is ID Mobile. Without text messaging I can’t access my mobile banking and frankly I’m furious. My billing is up to date. 
is there a number I can phone to talk to someone. The message chat doesn’t seem to be working. 
I blame myself for signing up with a provider who appears to offer no support

Hey there ​@Traceyc, sorry to hear that. Please try the below:

 

1) Open Messages, go to Settings (top right, Message Settings), open "Chat Features" or "RCS Chats", verify if this is the correct number or not.

2) If it shows the incorrect one, then head to: https://messages.google.com/disable-chat and you should be able to unregister the number. Once done, turn off the Chat Features/RCS and the phone. Wait a few minutes and turn the device back on and re-enable Chat Features/RCS it should let you re-register/update to the correct number.

Alternatively, you can turn Chat Features/RCS off and test SMS after this.

 

Thanks,

Tyler
