    Hi ​@Taralamb123,

     

    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:

    1. Open Settings
    2. Tap General Management
    3. Tap Reset
    4. Select Reset network settings

     

    For iPhone:

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

     

    Then follow these steps to refresh iMessage:

    1. Go to Settings
    2. Tap Messages
    3. Turn iMessage OFF

    I can’t get going on mine either and the customer service is shocking

    My 4g is working but no one can text or call me. I seem to be able to call people it’s very odd
