Contact your Carrier about Message Issues:

The carrier provides the proxies for sending the messages. IOW: The sender submits the SMS message, the carrier forwards it to you, on their behalf.

Hi NoFoolin,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! We see you have an issue with receiving group messages, and we'd like to do what we can to help.


Depending on which type of group message, iMessage or SMS/MMS, if the needed network connection is not available, you may receive the message once the connection needed is available again.
