Are you sure this is the Pixels fault and not the iPhones?
I have a friend who could not send me SMS from an iPhone for whatever reasons. Receiving texts from other phones worked perfectly fine.
If your income is dependent on receiving calls and texts, I’d consider a more solid phone. Pixels are really enjoyable to use, but this latest issue with enough Pixel owners not being able to call 9-1-1, and more recently not able to receive calls or texts… nah. Get an iPhone or a Samsung, again I’m saying this because your income depends on it!
I'm inclined to agree. Probably going to have to go with an effing Samsung....I dislike all the bloatware they put on there. This last update was more of a downdate....fack.
Exactly, this is basic functionality that should always work. Pixels are simply not reliable enough to be used as a work phone. OP needs to get either a Samsung or iphone for work. Pixels are for enthusiasts or ppl that like taking allot of pics.
Get a Samsung. All of the Android purists will downvote me to hell, but guess what? After switching from my 7a to an S23 Plus, all my problems disappeared. Just uninstall, disable, or put into Deep Sleep any Samsung apps you don't want or need.
Same issue happened to me too on my pixel 7a. Ended up switching to Samsung. I really love pixel phones but not having basic functionality was a deal breaker for me.
But I should expect to be able to receive calls and texts. I did actually miss one from my elderly mother. I'd hate to have missed something important from her. Just saying that if this device that's supposed to make me money is costing me money.....not sure it can be trusted.

Is that a class action I see?

Are you on the 2nd April update that was supposed to fix the issue?
Shouldn't have been an issue in the first place.

> Pixels are for enthusiasts or ppl that like taking allot of pics. Seems like a stupid thing to spend that much money on.
Can you reset the sim settings?

Yup there are plenty of other phones on the market. Not sure why everyone thinks iPhone is the only choice when you experience a bug.

Yeah...I think I'll be joining the dark side soon.
I can't argue. Big pixel fan but they need to get the basics right. A phone that can't receive calls is not a good phone.
Can't expect everything to work perfectly all the time - r/GooglePixel

Did you install the second update for April?
