Suddenly can't receive text messages, but can send

Hi folks,

 

I have a OP6T and I've been using it with Fido for a few years without issues. This morning, I suddenly can't receive either direct text messages or group text messages (mms) but I can send texts to others fine. 

 

I can also text myself and I receive those sms. I've tried texting my phone from my wife's phone and I can't receive her text messages. She is also on Fido and is not having this issue. 

 

This just started this morning. I was texting yesterday evening without issue and nothing has changed. 

 

I've tried resetting the phone, turning it off for a while and turning it back on, etc. without any luck. 

 

Anyone experienced this? My issue is with domestic texts, I don't send international so my problem is not the same as several of the other users I've read having issues specifically with international text messages. 

 

Thanks!

Hey RandomSanity, I do have that issue on occasion. I was using a 3rd party texting app that I really like, Textra. For some reason it works for a while and then texts from some numbers, or all numbers don't come through or sometimes don't send. Are you using a different texting app?

If so, when you switch back to Android messages, I am assuming you're on Android, and restart your device, your messages should

be fixed. If you're not using a different texting app,  then the configuration could have been changed by another app. Things to look into. Hope that helps you.

Hi! Smiley

You can select Fido in carrier available in device parameters. If this dont works, contact fido to send a txt message to your phone containing a configuration data message to open in your phone to automatically adjust it.

Have a nice day Smiley
