Not receiving Group Texts on my iPhone

I had an iPhone Xr, 128GB, current IOS & Spectrum service. I couldn't get Group Text messages sent from an Android phone on my phone, but was getting them on my iPad Gen 4 WiFi & Cell 128GB current IOS. I called Spectrum Tech Support and each time they'd have me change something on my phone, such as, Send and Receive would have my phone #, my email addy & my iCloud addy ticked and they'd have me untick all except my phone #. Didn't help, nothing they said helped and the ticks came back in the example I gave.


I went to a Spectrum Store with my iPhone and the girl (Tech?) said it was an issue with the older iPhone's and I needed to upgrade. So, I purchased an iPhone 15 128GB and still have the issue.


I have gone through my iPad's settings and set all on my phone the same. Note: there are a couple or so settings that are present on the phone that aren't on the pad, but I don't think they're significant differences.


Any help/suggestions are appreciated.

iPad, iPadOS 18

Your ipad can't get MMS unless you enable text message forwarding on your phone, you can however receive imessage on your ipad from other Apple devices.

Your line isn't provisioned correctly with Specturm, escalate the issue with them, it has nothing to do with your phone or Apple, there is no need for you sign in or out of anything.
