iPhone 15 not receiving all text messages. MacBook Pro is.

My iPhone 15 is not receiving or able to send text messages from certain iPhone users but my MacBook Pro is sending/receiving those text messages. I've confirmed that both devices have Messages enabled. I've signed out of iCloud account on both devices. I've rebooted both devices and still have the same problem. The people not receiving texts are family members so it is important I figure out what is going on. Please help.

DIdn't work but thanks for the knowledge. I did try updating when you first responded then again with the new version (iOS 27) and the problem still persists. Thanks again.
