Text Message Issues
If you're not receiving texts from banks or other services (short code or premium SMS messages), this may be due to sender systems needing updates:
- Senders need to update their systems to recognize your number on the new network
- This process can take a few days to complete
For iPhone users, this may also impact iMessage and FaceTime until the update is complete.
