    Hi ​@Samina41i .

     

    Thanks for letting us know. It sounds like some messages are still being routed to your old provider. This can happen for a short period after a number transfer.

    Please try the following troubleshooting steps:

    Restart your phone to refresh the network connection.

    Check your messaging settings and ensure your new SIM is set as the default for SMS.

    If you’re using iMessage/WhatsApp or similar apps, make sure your number is updated there.

    If messages still aren’t coming through after a few hours, please let us know
