My issue stemmed from changing carriers and having my number ported. I can now receive and send messages from android users.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 12 / iOS 14.1 users - Missing Text/SMS Messages?

Ever since installing the Message+ app from Verizon and deleting all the texts off their server, I have had zero missed texts the last 3 days.
I'm experiencing this as well on my iPhone 11 running iOS 14.2.
Same thing here. Some messages showing up on my iPhone X, Apple Watch 6 and iMac, but not my iPad. I also had the “failure to send” with some messages sent from my iPad.
I tried doing that, too. I am still not getting some iMessages on my iPad.
They replaced my phone twice when I had a similar issue, not sure if that has changed over the years.
I would suggest that if Apple doesnt resolve this before your return period, i would return and hold out until its fixed.
I have an iPhone 12 Pro and this happens to me too, and intermittently. It works for a little while after rebooting the iPhone, then starts happening again. iOS 14.2. I had the dual SIM configuration, which basically disables the 5G, so I don't think it's 5G-related issue. I disabled the e-SIM (Google Fi) and just used Verizon physical SIM. I have the same results. One-to-one text messages work, but group MMS is definitely an issue. iMessages work fine.
Same here. Same issues. Same attempts at fixing - turning on and off SMS, iMessage, 5G (which is garbage anyway), installing Verizon Message+, latest iOS 14.1 and 14.2, etc. nothing. Same issues. I should have kept my iPhone X. Which was running iOS 14.1 and had not one issue with this BS.
THIS IS NOT VERIZON. THIS IS AN IPHONE 12 PRO ISSUE THAT APPLE IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING OR FIXING.
And now you want me to be the Guinea pig for your new apple chips on new hardware? No thanks. I think I’ll wait a few years for the issues to be resolved.
How does a problem that plagued Apple in earlier iPhone hardware make it through QA testing? Jobs would be pissed.

Yes, I spent the weekend trying that exact thing - same issue on new install or backup restore.
I still had it after starting from new. But toggling 5g on and off finally fixed it.
Weird that some things fix it for some but not others
Did you have the issue of not receiving the texts or just not getting the notification?
Yesterday I spent many hours being bounced between apple support, to Tmobile support, and back to Apple support.
They do not know what the problem is.

I had tried toggling 5g on and off before, and that didn't work for me... but I haven't had the problem in a couple of days. If the issue returns for you, can you keep us in the loop? Thanks.
For sure I will. It’s been good since about 8pm last night so I’m crossing my fingers.
I am going to try to the toggle of 5g, but I have been having the same issues as you and have talked with Apple with nothing on their end. I emailed Tim Cook seeing if I could get someone higher up. The thing with 5G though, my mom has the XR and since updating to 14.2, she has had the same issue. I don’t know what she could toggle that would help.
Yeah that’s really strange that it would also affect a non 5g device if that fix worked for me. Also strange that it doesn’t seem to be a wide spread issue. One of my friends who has the same phone, same network, has zero issues at all.
