    Hi ​@JHarrison2598,

     

    We are so sorry to hear of the issues that you are currently facing. Please try the steps below, depending on the type of phone you have:

     

    For Android:

    • Open Settings
    • Tap General
    • Management
    • Tap Reset
    • Select Reset network settings

     

    For iPhone:

    • Tap Phone
    • Tap My Number
    • Delete the old number
    • Enter the new/current number
    • Tap Save

     

    Then follow these steps to refresh iMessage:

    • Go to Settings
    • Tap Messages
    • Turn iMessage OFF
    • Go to Settings > General
    • Tap Reset
    • Choose Reset Network
    • Settings
    • Once your iPhone restarts, go back to Settings
    • Tap Messages
    • Turn iMessage ON again

     

    Your iPhone should now recognise the SIM and verify your number to get it working again.
