iPhone 12 mini missing SMS texts and occasional phone calls

I received my new iPhone 12 mini on Friday and have missed several SMS text messages from single users and group text messages. Also three times yesterday I was unable to make a phone call without restarting the phone. Are these known issues that have solutions already?

Ensure your iPhone is updated to iOS 14.2. We can help with that. Let's go ahead and update your iPhone first. Here's the article to help out: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Before you update, we suggest making sure you have a current backup. It's always good to keep a current backup to keep your data safe. Here's a link to help complete a backup on your iPhone:
