Can't get Messages to verify my number

Agree 100%. My first smart phone was a Palm Pre, and the possibilities of customizing it were literally endless. They actively encouraged 3rd-party "patches" to customize it. It's probably why I'll never be comfortable with Apple.

Oh wow Palm Pre i remember that device never owned it i was on iphone 3 or 4 at that time lol

And after 5 days of "chat not supported by your carrier", phone went back to "trying to verify number" for 2 days. And now back to connected and working fine. For now. I'm surprised Google puts their name on something so clunky.

My new Pixel 5, that I just got last week, transferred everything from my Pixel 3 just fine using a cord & using the same SIM card.
Text came through with contacts name and picture but I had to reset the desired notification sound for every single contact.

My problem was every incoming phone call was displayed as "Restricted". Went through all the settings, googling for a fix, and visiting the Verizon store (complete waste of time) the only resolution that was mentioned was to hope and wait...... 4 days later, It finally started working. I believe it was a Verizon issue not supporting incoming caller id numbers and/or pairing them to my contacts.

Now that everything is working, I am thrilled I snagged a Pixel 5.
Now I can wait for Pixel 7 or more likely 8 when they finally get smart and make a smaller size phone like the 5!

I too had the same problem. I tried all the troubleshooting steps. Finally, I went to a Verizon corporate store and replaced the SIM card. That was the trick.

Did you have any issues with chat messages registered?

Not at all. It verified my number and had the green Connected from initial setup.
I don't know what I might have done that didn't cause any hiccups.
