Texting ios13 new message

[Elwyn]

I took delivery of my Y in May. No problems texting with IOS 11 phone until yesterday. Phone wouldn’t connect at all (not just a texting issue). Was hung up so not able to even delete and re-add. Several hrs later, issue resolved with deleting and re-installing. Today, I get a message about texting only supported on IOS13+. Puzzled what happened between yesterday and today. No plans to upgrade my phone so extremely disappointed no longer supported/working.

You might want to consider upgrading for security purposes, if you actually ment what you said in that you have a phone that cant take any version of iOS later than 11.

Update. Put in a service request and got a prompt phone call back. When I did the reset, lost previous settings, had to tweak a few. No need to upgrade.
