I’m having difficulty in receiving some text messages from certain people? Just recently bought a new iPhone 12 Pro but my text messages are still being received by my old android phone (which doesn’t have a SIM card in it). Help!!
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14
Did you set up your new iPhone with the new SIM inserted?
In Settings/Messages/Send&Receive/ your phone number is selected?
Did you make sure, that in Settings/Messages/"Send as SMS" is activated? If so, sent one of those contacts a message and ask them to use this message directly to reply to your phone number.
Since SMS is a service provided by your Mobile Service Provider, did you check, if there is in issue on their side?

Yes, that's odd. That's why I thought that a 3rd party messenger app is involved.
It’s not a new SIM card, I took SIM out of old android phone and put into my new iPhone. I have checked the above procedure and my phone number is selected.
Sorry not sure what you mean by 3rd party but it’s not through WhatsApp/iMessage but just normal sms?
I don’t think they are iPhone users?
Thank you I’ll give it a try and see what happens.
Good Luck!
No joy!! I’m now going to try and factory data reset my old android and try and scrub all data to see if that makes a difference! Spoke to a Sony adviser and they were baffled as to how a text could be sent to a phone with no SIM card!!
Are these messages sent via a 3rd party messenger app, that is still registered to your android phone?
It’s not an issue with provider either as I’m receiving some messages through!
Are those messages you don't receive sent by Android users?
New iPhone 12 Pro not receiving SMS
