iMessage and FaceTime not working
Ok so I ported over from O2, on a eSIM, to Smarty with a physical sim. The swap occurred yesterday on schedule. However, iMessage and FaceTime only work with my iCloud email, and in the iPhone 13 set...
I had this problem recently, when briefly trying GiffGaff
A visit to my local apple store and a call from their tech support didnt solve the issue.
So, I contacted Voxi, as that's who my main number is currently with.
This was the bizarre fix, which worked and fixed the issue :
1, Turn off both iMessage and FaceTime
2, Set up a NEW contact, as follows :
First name : My Card
Last Name : NEW
Phone Number : Your own number, in international format, +44 7xxx xxx xxx
NOTE the capitalisation in the name : My Card NEW
Dont forget to save the new contact
3, Turn off your iPhone
4, Turn on your iPhone
5, Turn on both iMessage and FaceTime
Cant believe it solved this issue for me, but it did
