Looks like there was a similar thread related to 15.4 and TMobile but here is my situation:
- Switched from AT&T today to Verizon - new iPhone 13 Pro, running 15.5
- Set up phone from iCloud backup
- Everything seemed fine, other than the iMessage saying "Activation Unsuccessful"
- I can send/receive messages from an email but not from my phone number - I see the number as an option under sent/receive but when I click it, it does nothing
- Called Apple, Verizon, AT&T - they all blame each other
- Tried all the stuff found on google - reset network settings, log in/out of Apple ID and iMessages and FaceTime. Nothing works
Now I face missing tons of texts tomorrow when the workday starts. If anybody has any other suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Update: Apple is saying it can take 24-48 hours to activate. Is that really a thing? If somebody texts my phone number during this period will it still come over as SMS, or will I miss it?
Thank you!
