User level: Level 1 (4 points)I have iphone 17, iOS 26.6, BSNL physical sim - configured as 3G and Jio esim - configured for 5G.
BSNL calls and 3G data works fine, but SMS alone is not working. Tried almost all the troubleshooting steps - turned off iMessages, resend as text message, restarting, airplane mode. But the BSNL sim works well on android phone. Can someone pls assist?

Unfortunately, any SIM-provisioning and/or performance issues can only be resolved by your carrier.
Additionally, SMS functionally is wholly a carrier-provisioned feature.
The fact that the nanoSIM works on your other phone might indicate that your carrier has “associated” that SIM so as to only work on that phone.
(as means to reduce the risks of physical nanoSIM theft)
Or … there might be some other technical cause.
Best of luck w/ your carrier. 🤞
