Hello,


Here are some steps you can try:


  1. Restart your device
  2. Make sure your phone number is set to send and receive messages, go to Settings > Messages, and tap Send & Receive.
  3. If you don't see your phone number, you can link your iPhone number to your Apple ID so you can send and receive iMessages from your phone number. You can also set up Text Message Forwarding so you can send and receive MMS and SMS messages on all of your Apple devices.
  4. If you still don't receive SMS messages, contact your carrier or Apple Support.


You could also switch to a third party messaging app, such as WhatsApp. Which you can download here:

I got this information from this Apple Article:

Apple Support services are currently limited, so it would help a lot if you looked at these links, or search for the same questions as yours.


I hope this helped :)
