New I-Phone 12 not receiving text messages

Hi I recently converted my data from i-phone 7 to i-phone 12. I am not receiving new text messages on new phone. I received a couple new texts yesterday but now I can't send or receive. Have I missed a setting?


iPhone 12, iOS 14

You may have missed installing an active SIM card in your new iPhone 12. You can transfer your SIM card from your iPhone 7 to your iPhone 12 and see if that transfers the cellular service to your iPhone 12. Note that some carriers require a new SIM card for iPhone 12 (5G SIM Card). If this is the case then contact your carrier.
