iPhone not receiving SMS messages; Airplane mode on/off only works temporarily

I recently stopped receiving or being able to send SMS messages from iPhone 11; the only thing that fixes it temporarily is to turn airplane mode on and off, then starts working again for a little while (maybe up to 1/2 hour) then stops working again - help

NOPE, did not work -- after about a half hour of non-use, SMS messages again failed to be received or to be able to be sent, only reawakened by turning Airplane Mode on and off. Of course, that is not a fix since most text messages coming in are not pre-announced so, besides being absurdly labor intensive, also defeats the purpose of instant messaging. Any further thoughts???????
