Just re-joined Verizon; using new Samsung Galaxy S7 purchased elsewhere. Verizon store inserted new sim yesterday and activated phone. I have VERY low signal strength at my home (1-2 bars), but am able to send texts just fine using either Messages+ or Samsung message program. However, I'm not receiving texts with either app. Thought perhaps I need to edit the APN, but all the settings are grayed out...most settings are shown as "not set." Any ideas????

Just wanted you to know the problem has been solved, thanks to the help of folks on your Chat line: apparently the agent in the Verizon store failed to notify my previous carrier to port my number to Verizon! Once that was done (yesterday) the texting issue was solved. Thank you!
Jcm1948, we want to ensure you get each and every text ASAP. What zip code are you having trouble in? Are you able to receive messages once you leave the area? What error messages do you receive?

jcm1948,
We’re so happy to see you’ve come back to our wireless family! However, I’m concerned that you’re not receiving any texts. I don’t know about you, but I text more than making/receiving calls these days. Let’s definitely get these texts to come to you. Is this a Verizon Wireless branded Galaxy S7? What Zip Code are you in?
