Messages on Big Sur no longer getting/syncing SMS messages

As of today, new SMS messages no longer appear on my MBP running Big Sur. I downloaded and installed Big Sur last week and it had no issues immediately after but today I've been running into a lot of issues even though all my settings are set up correctly. SMS messages do not get forwarded from my iPhone to my MBP and so I missed out on some one-time activation codes until I noticed. SMS messages I send from my iPhone do not appear on MBP. If I send SMS from my MBP, it tells me it was not delivered but then I check my iPhone and it was. iMessages I have no issue with so far so I was wondering if this was affecting anyone else?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0

I had the same problem and I contacted Apple Support directly on the phone. Turned out the the Setting on my phone had gotten changed. Might have happened when I last upgraded the phone. Who knows? These things sometimes happen with Apple upgrades. Anyway, it was in the Settings - Phone - Call on other devices and for some reason under "Allow Calls On" had changed and I changed it back and then my SMS began showing up again on my computer.
