For years now after a while I just stop getting texts. Reboot the phone and they work again for a while. The crazy thing is that it’s happening on several phones. A pixel 3, a galaxy s20, and now a OnePlus 8. Signal works fine obviously but only a few people I know are on signal. Carrier is T-Mobile and they always just want to sell me. A new phone. Anyone have ideas?

    Hot tip: every company always wants to sell you something .

    The phone carrier doesn’t have any way to block your sms messages. There isn’t anything they can sell you that will do anything for sms. The only way that could be a thing is if the phone you have is so old its unable to work with current network technology.

      This is an interesting take considering vendors regularly do sell addons related to sms, blocking, etc

        Sms is a basic SOC. They don’t degrade it just to try and sell you a new phone.

            I mean, yeah you’re right. We’re not talking about plans though. It doesn’t matter anyways, that’s not what OPs issue is.
