I cannot receive texts from one particular mobile number on EE network (Spusu is provider).  I have iPhone XR on iD network.  I can send text SMS messages to the EE device and are received ok.  My wife has iPhone 6 Plus on EE network and can receive texts from the problem mobile on EE.  I have put my wife’s SIM in my XR phone, and everything works correctly.  So problem appears to be texts from EE to iD mobile. Can anybody suggest an solution please.  It all worked fine until the 8/05/26 when it stopped working.

Hi ​@MHamm,

 

Thanks for providing such a detailed explanation of the issue.

 

Based on the testing you've already carried out, it does sound as though the problem is specific to the messaging route between your iD Mobile number and that particular EE/Spusu number, rather than being a fault with your iPhone itself.

 

Before anything else, we'd recommend:

  • Making sure the sender has not accidentally blocked your number
  • Deleting the existing message thread on both devices and starting a new one
  • Turning iMessage off and back on if either device is using Apple services
  • Performing a network settings reset on your iPhone

 

As you've confirmed that:

  • You can send messages to them
  • Other people can receive messages from them
  • Your phone works correctly with another SIM

 

The next step would be to contact our Live Chat team so they can investigate the issue further and, if necessary, raise it with our technical team for a routing check, or ask the EE user to contact their network providers customer service team.

 

We're sorry for the inconvenience and hope this gets resolved quickly.

 

Regards,
