Unable to receive messages on Oppo n6 fold
Hello, I've just received my Oppo N6 fold a few days ago and fell in love with it. Now the only issue is that I can't receive messages. I can send messages, make and receive calls. 5g and Volte are both working. Everything has been going great except this one thing. I tried shutting and opening the phone. Closing the data, putting on airplane mode, closing the phone for a while, restarting it, and it still didn't work. I tried clearing messages cache. Tried resetting the phone network settings, didn't work. I took the sim out and put it in my old phone (iphone) and I was able to receive messages, I closed imessages before brining my sim back and that also didn't work. I'm at the end of my rope here, if anyone has any suggestions on what to do? Or do I have to change my carrier? I need to be able to receive messages for my work, so I won't be able to make the switch until I'm able to receive messages. I'm currently with Bell in Canada.
Edit: So i was finally able to get texting to work!! I called my carrier to try to do a network reset from their side but they kept saying that the issue was with the phone and nothing they did would help, they refused to do it saying they're currently doing maintenance and can't do anything at the time being. So that was a waste of time.
Apparently the issue was that I was trying to use the Oppo stock messaging app and nothing seemed to work, so I just changed the default messaging app to Google messages and suddenly everything seemed to click and started working! I don't really know why it would work for Google messages and not the stock Oppo message app, it just does. I'll be leaving this post up in case any unfortunate soul out there encounters the same issue in the future.
