Verizon Samsung Galaxy S21 series failed to receive SMS messages, which has been updated and fixed.

CTOnews.com, Oct. 2, according to SamMobile, some users have reported that the Verizon version of Samsung Galaxy S21 series will not be able to receive text messages after the update in September 2022. The problem is so common that even T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S21 series users have reported it.
