For years now after a while I just stop getting texts. Reboot the phone and they work again for a while. The crazy thing is that it’s happening on several phones. A pixel 3, a galaxy s20, and now a OnePlus 8. Signal works fine obviously but only a few people I know are on signal. Carrier is T-Mobile and they always just want to sell me. A new phone. Anyone have ideas?

    I don’t have a real solution, but this has happened to me on my Moto G repeatedly over the last few years. People just seem to stop talking to me, then I reboot randomly and suddenly all these week-old texts come through. I just make a point of rebooting each night when I plug it in. Since that works, I’m guessing it’s a memory issue or some background process stops and never restarts, or maybe it loses some token and can’t communicate with the network. It’s weird they haven’t fixed it, but my phone is pretty old now so my expectations are low.

      Yes, this is literally the issue I’m having. But basically every phone for the last several years.
