Messenger plus

Android 11 and my messenger plus program. I am unable to receive any text messages. I can send perfectly well but unable to receive any text. And have not been able to figure out the issue. Anybody give me some help on this? BTW, this was working perfectly until just last week and it stopped receiving. I don't know what happened. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program twice to no avail. Can't think of any changes I made whatsoever.

Regards, Jim

Re: Messenger plus

You might try installing another messenger app from the Play Store (some are free) and see if SMS and MMS work with that - that could help test whether it's the messaging application, the phone or the telecom network causing the problem.  Probably worth a call to tech support at your telco to see if it's a known problem they can advise about.

Re: Messenger plus

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. I appreciate it. I have loaded three different messenger applications and none of them are able to receive and all of them can transmit text and pictures but none can receive. Don't know what to do at this point, yeah I could call my carrier I guess and go from there.

Thanks again for taking the time.

Regards, Jim

Re: Messenger plus

Good luck. My (Canadian) carrier has a bit of website support re problems but also an online browser form to send SMS from a PC to phones on their network - it works to send from my PC to my own phone - might be worth testing that if available to you, as evidence about how the telco service is functioning:

I can't personally vouch for any of these free texting services.
