iMessage isn't working after a SIM change

Last updated on 08 Sept, 2026

If iMessage stopped working after a SIM swap, eSIM install, or port to MyBundle Mobile, the most common cause is that your phone number was de-selected in iMessage settings when the SIM changed.

How to fix it

• Open Settings → Messages on your iPhone.

• Tap Send & Receive.

• Under "You can be reached by iMessage at", make sure your new MyBundle Mobile phone number is checked.

• If your number isn't listed, sign out of your Apple ID at the bottom of the same screen, wait a minute, then sign back in. Your number should appear.

If iMessage still isn't working

• Confirm your line has data or Wi-Fi — iMessage requires an internet connection.

• Turn iMessage off and back on at Settings → Messages → iMessage.

• Reboot your phone.

If none of those resolve it, contact us.
