Wow, I'm impressed you were able to narrow it down to the private DNS, good job!

Thanks, it was a wee bit frustrating to have them replace my phone once, my sim card twice, and they were trying to send me a 3rd phone! Yet none of their "engineers" knew to check on the private dns... I should apply for a job lol

So I'm on Verizon, not T-Mobile, but I have a lot of trouble with group messages and most often pics in group messages mostly coming through to me. I'm not nearly as well versed as you guys are. First I was told that it was because my messages were going through to iMessage since I was temporarily coming from an iPhone. Fixed that then still had an issue so got my group to start a new text string and feeler old ones, which seemed to fix it temporarily. But it's back. The same group texted this AM and all the other people with iPhones got the pic but not me. Suggestions?

Hi,
You tried some of the suggestions early on in this thread?

mbbarron, you may need to get your friends to remove you from the group message and start a new one.
If you had an iPhone when the group message started its possible it locked in your iMessage info. Now that you have switched its still trying to use that.
I recall seeing this a few years back with people who were in group messages on iPhones then went to Android. Just a guess.
Maybe get a couple of them to start a new group message and test it out.

Are you using Verizon Messages? Or the LG app? Whichever one you are using, try switching to the other one maybe

Did both of these. Deleted all text message strings and started a new string. Possibly one of they group participants still has an old string and it's picking up my phone as iMessage. Thought we had fixed it but it happened again after that fix. Switched to Google messages and today my son didn't get a forwarded text that I sent to 2 people with iPhones. Should I try Textra?

I've tried Stock app, Verizon message+, and now Google messages. All same issue. Intermittently messages don't go through. Usually group messages but not always. Have already done a factory reset on this device for another issue. Setting I should check?

@tmobilehelp on Twitter. It may be a provisioning issue with your account. If it's an iMessage issue, then I'm no help. I haven't owned an iPhone since literally the 1st generation lol
