Verizon \ Random Texting Issues

Using /e/OS Troubleshooting
, ,
1

Good Morning,

I haven’t been able to figure it out but there is an issue with Verizon where the phone “loses signalling” to receive SMS/MMS. We have been toggling Air Plane Mode to reestablish the connection. This occurs randomly. Anyone else experiencing this?

Notes:

  • Oneplus 6T, Oneplus 9 Pro
  • occurs on all /e/OS releases
  • did not occur on T-Mobile or AT&T
  • occurs on Verizon and US Mobile
  • occurs on 5G and 4G LTE
  • phone is flooded with text messages after toggling Air Plane Mode
  • only impacts text messages, able to receive\place calls
  • only clue that something is wrong is seeing a gap in text messages from folks

Thank you in advance.

Update: I am leaning toward this being a OnePlus device issue with Lineage OS. Forums are riddled with issues albeit a few are running OxygenOS.

I am trying this potential fix:

  1. Open the Phone App
  2. Dial *#*#4636#*#* to open the Testing menu.
  3. Tap Phone Information.
  4. Scroll to the bottom to the entry for SMSC.
  5. Tap Refresh to load the current SMSC Number.

Any known apps out there that can toggle Air Plane Mode automatically say on a schedule?

With the app Automate you can probably do this. There are also prebuilts and / or you might be able to adapt from Community ⋅ Automate for Android.
