chatty not recieving any texts. sending works.

i havent gotten any texts since last friday so in the last 3 days. i have low service at work but when i go outside i can get signal and recieve texts buti figured no one texted. but i sent texts out. today being back in great service found out someone did reply to a text and others i prob dont know.

then today it continued girlfriend called me asking if i got her text to come over. i had not. i asked my mom to send me texts nothing.

there was updates i hadnt gotten im on a metered internet so their not automatic chatty was one of the updates. but still not working. if phone cant reliably get texts or it bugggy with texts and stops working or even if its user error, this would be a deal breaker for trying to use it as main phone.

Not sure why, but receiving texts can be buggy with some carriers. Try turning your cellular kill switch off and on every few days. Hopefully this gets fixed eventually.

If you used to use an iPhone or Android you should check that iMessage/RCS are disabled for your number, or you may not receive those messages from users who use those services.

To disable RCS (Android): https://messages.google.com/disable-chat

To disable RCS (Apple): go to Settings > Apps > Messages > RCS Messaging on your iOS device

To disable iMessage: Deregister and Turn Off iMessage - Apple Support

its people ive texted with for the past month. the sim and number are brand new to the phone. not previously with android or i phone… well idk about number but sim is new. i frequently turn kill switch on. like if im at work and dont get service anyway to save battery life.

calling receiving calls, internet, sending texts work but not receiving texts.

someone in forums taught me how to do this but idk what it means. does this mean i have a bunch of stuck messages? it says theres no data in one. but yea i ask people to send me texts and i dont get them. i need this to work as a phone lol.
