Unable to receive text messages

Hi, any tricks or tips for only being able to receive iMessages instead of text messages? I haven’t received a text message all day but I have gotten iMessages. I haven’t changed any settings.

iPhone 6s, iOS 11

A clue might be that regular messages are handled differently than regular messages.


If you have already powered off the iPhone and restarted a few times, give your carrier to call to have them check things out regarding the messaging service.


If you have not restarted your phone a few times, now might be a good time.
