intermittent problem with an iphone 13 not receiving automated texts

Hi Apricot333,

Generally, if you're not receiving messages intermittently, it's likely due to a cellular network connection. If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone or iPad offers some common steps that can help with not being able to receive messages.

• "Try to restart your iPhone or iPad.
• Check your network connection. To send a message as iMessage or MMS, you need a cellular data or Wi-Fi connection. To send an SMS message, you need cellular network connection. If you turn on Wi-Fi Calling, you can send SMS messages over Wi-Fi.
• Check with your carrier to see if the type of message you’re trying to send, like MMS or SMS, is supported."

If you continue to experience issues with receiving these messages intermittently, and they're SMS messages, you'll want to continue working with your carrier towards a resolution.

Cheers!
