iPhone Duo messages not sending and notification sounds not playing

I just switched to apple from android by buying the new iPhone Duo. I’ve been having some pretty big problems, that have slowly started making me regret my decision.


First issue, sometimes messages just won’t send. I’ll type a message and then hit send, but it instantly disappears, and I eventually get a failed to send notification. I spent hours on tech support with my carrier, trying everything from restarting my phone to resetting my network connection. It eventually starts working again, but it’s already done this like 3 times. Any help to help prevent this from happening at all would be greatly appreciated.


My second issue is with notifications. The sounds do not play. I haven’t messed to much with fixing this, as I’ve been distracted trying to fix the first issue, but I’ve done the basics; checked volume, made sure focus is off, etc

I think it might be with non iPhone users, but I can’t be 100% certain, as I’ve never asked before. I thought it might be rcs related, but turning that off didn’t seem to help. I followed the link you provided, but it doesn’t seem to have anything I haven’t already tried. 😩
