Text Messages and IMessages

Can receive them but not send them. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Apple iMessage is an easy fix
To fix iMessage after porting your number, update your phone number in Settings > Phone > My Number to ensure it matches the ported number, not a temporary one. Toggle iMessage and FaceTime off and back on, restart your phone, and allow up to 24-48 hours for the network transfer to fully register with Apple servers.
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Actions:

• Toggle iMessage/FaceTime: Go to Settings > Messages, turn iMessage off. Go to Settings > FaceTime, turn it off. Restart the phone, then turn both back on.
• Reset Network Settings: Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
• Sign Out/In Apple ID: Under Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID and sign out, then sign back in.
• Check Date & Time: Ensure Settings > General > Date & Time is set to "Set Automatically".

• Verify Number: Go to Settings > Phone > My Number . If it shows a temporary number, change it to your ported number.

This works. I did it myself a month ago. It took around 30 hours so don’t expect an immediate fix. Ride it out. I know it’s a pain but it works. All the best

GaryMc Thank-you so much for your reply, I have actually tried this. You have given the instructions in such a clear and easy to understand way (much appreciated) that I will give it another go.

No problem. Can’t take full credit as it was suggested by Superuser25 in a PM. I don’t believe in withholding information if it helps anyone. All the best

Hello how I can cancel my plan?

Why I no can cancel my plan?

Hey

GaryMc Eventually decided to request a new sim under the ‘lost/stolen’ reason and bingo, new sim worked with no issues!

Glad you’ve sorted it…eventually. I received a new SIM card too,got it,but it was abundantly clear mine was a portin issue and then a play around with settings on my iPhone 13. All the best
