Please hope us suss-out this odd SIM card/iMessage problem on my wife's iPhone...
Over the weekend, my wife's iPhone 6s started randomly failing to see her SIM card. Ejecting the card and reinserting it seemed to be the most reliable way to fix the issue. Mostly. Sometimes it took a couple of attempts, though.
In addition to the card issue, Messages has started sending texts from a secondary email address and not her phone number. Her texts also now come through as a standard SMS message, and not as an iMessage. Her entry in my iPhone's Contacts list now no longer identifies her phone as an iPhone, so the option for FaceTime/iMesage is not available. All texts too and from her come through as green bubbles, not iMessage blue.
When I checked her Messages setup and it was showing a spinning arrow where her phone number was in the list of authorized numbers/email addresses, indicating (to me, anyway) it couldn't find/confirm the phone number at all, and the phone's number wasn't available as selection in the send/receive from... field. Rebooting the phone seemed to fix that, but the phone still doesn't identify as an iPhone and all texts are still standard SMS.
She can make and receive phone calls just fine.
Any ideas? Might this just be a wonky SIM card and a replacement will probably solve things? Or, is this likely something failing in the phone itself? |
