Phone not receiving SMS from Verizon Customers

My phone is not receiving SMS messages from Verizon customers.  I use an iPhone, and iMessage works without any issue.  I can also send SMS messages to Verizon customers.  When someone with a Verizon account attempts to send me an SMS message, however, it does not come through.

This issue started a couple of weeks ago. Since then, I contacted AT&T (my carrier at the time) to troubleshoot.  After factory resetting my phone and resetting my network connection, AT&T determined that Verizon had not sent any SMS messages to my phone since the issue started.

I have since changed providers and replaced my phone in hopes that would correct whatever issue was occurring.  Neither helped.  I have also tried calling Verizon tech support and going into a Verizon store for help.  On every occasion I was told that they will not help me because I am not a Verizon customer.  When I was in the store, I was able to verify that I did not receive any SMS Messages from Verizon phones.

It seems clear that there is  a problem on the Verizon side that is preventing SMS messages from getting to my phone.  I would appreciate someone helping resolve the issue.
