Trouble receiving messages from android users on iPhone 14 Pro MAX

I am having trouble RECEIVING text messages from android users. It’s an intermittent problem. I’ve only had this phone a couple of weeks and I have called my carrier and apple and no one can seem to help me. I have done all the normal things and yet I’m still having this problem. One tech guy said it was because of the esim and other android users don’t have the same technology. However, they all get my messages, but, I don’t get their messages back on my iPhone. All last week I was getting the messages from the android users, and now all of the sudden I don’t get them again. I do not know what to do or what Avenue to take any help would be very useful!

SMS is a phone carrier feature, you need to work it out with yours.
