Thanks for your reply. I contacted Verizon via text who after running diagnostics for a couple of hours ended up switching my iPhone’s SIM card to an eSIM. While doing that fixed the inability to text or receive/send group chat messages it created another issue: I had no service when I left the WiFi range at my house. To correct this I went into Settings Cellular and noticed I had two SIMs selected. I deselected one of them and it fixed the no service issue.
