We'll get you texting in no time, CP23! To begin, can you test calling as well? Are you able to make & receive phone calls? Also, is your old phone powered off? Please provide a few more details, so we can help to pinpoint the issue.

Part of the port isn't complete. I would suggest having customer service reset your text message feature from their end.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
