State_of_mind, we understand the importance of staying connected, and are happy to help out. To clarify, is this just Multimedia messages or normal texts also? It is only happening with TMobile users?

I can receive individual texts and mms messages perfectly, but if I'm in a group thread with multiple people I do not receive messages from t mobile subscribers

My daughter is having the same issue with her iPhone. She recently ported over from T-Mobile and she is unable to see messages from other T-Mobile users in our family group chat. She had no issues before coming to Verizon. She is using the exact same phone she had on TMobile and just got a sim from Verizon so the issue has to be on Verizon's end

This exact problem is happening with my phone since switching to Verizon from T-Mobile.  Although it did not happen right away.  

I switched from T-Mobile to Verizon on June 4th.  I was receiving pictures via text message from my sister who is still a T-mobile customer up until last Friday, June 24, 2022.  I am not able to receive them from my daughter who is also a T-Mobile customer.  There is no problem getting pictures attached to a text message from any other carrier that I have found.  No one seems to know how to fix it at the moment.  

All my settings are on and where they need to be and I even did a Reset to the Network settings.

Hey, Shannon! I can understand your concerns, especially with it being with multiple people with T-Mobile. I see you mentioned this did not happen right away; have you done any sort of Software Updates to your device, or installed any Call filter applications?

Same here. Just changed from T-Mobile to Verizon. And bought a new phone in the process. At first MMS from T-Mobile users worked fine. Now they do not. SMS and iMessage works fine. MMS from ATT and other Verizon users works fine. But Metro and T-Mobile/Sprint users, forget it. I do not receive any pics they send. Only regular texts. And it’s really a problem, as picture sending and receiving is part of my job. I will change to ATT without hesitation if this cannot be resolved. I left Sprint/T-Mobile because they could not support two lines on one phone. Otherwise I would have stayed with them. My rate was cheaper as well. Please address this problem and fix it! I’m a tech guy, and have already spoke with support about it. It’s not a network congestion issue. Frustrating.

I feel like the problem won't be solved. I might have to switch back to T Mobile. I've spoke to multiple reps and they all suggest the same troubleshooting steps: network resets, and network syncs. Nothing solves the issue.
