I receive text messages from others.
Others can receive text messages I send to them.
However, I don’t receive the text messages I send to myself since February.
Has a recent TMobile update changed something that prevents receiving my own messages?

Maybe this is an issue with the messaging app. I’m using a Samsung A52 5G and the text app is Messages v 14.0.10.43. It is the latest version installed on the device. I don’t remember updating it.
I installed a different SMS app and still can not receive test messaging I send to myself. Or at least I receive no response that it was delivered.
I have the same issue. I do not receive text messages from myself either. This started on 02/12/2023…. Yes, I tried another SMS App..
I need to do it to setup encrypted texts on NEXTSMS App.
Any updates to this issue? 🤔

The Android 12 Update caused all kinds of issues with various phones. One with the most issues is the OnePlus 9 (Pro). I've tried to get Tmobile to do something about it for over a year now! I even made a BBB complaint.
OP is the one that must fix any OS update issues..
I am running Android version 9, I have tried multiple SMS applications and none of them allow me to send SMS/MMS messages to myself. I have two other devices on the same contract and these devices also do not allow sending SMS/MMS to the devices phone number. I searched and found this link on Reddit which indicates multiple people are having this issue. Reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/10hh72a/cant_text_myself/ … I have also reached out to a few friends of mine that use T-Mobile and they are also unable to text themselves. Last I developed my own SMS application. I am able to send and receive texts, but not text myself. The Android Intent action shows SMS_SENT/SMS_DELIVERED for all messages going out except for when I send messages to myself. To me this means T-Mobile has made an adjustment on their end within their stack. They might have stopped allowing people to send themselves their own messages as a means to reduce some network traffic. Regardless a lot of people text themselves for different reasons and I would greatly appreciate T-Mobile allowing us to do this again. Thank you. I suggest anyone having this issue log a ticket with T-Mobile.

I just tried it and it says “this service is not available “ but I can use my Google voice number that uses the Tmobile network and the same phone to text my Tmobile phone number.
Same as gramps28

If it's a service you need get a free Google voice number.
i dont get any errors on my end. they just show as sent but never get received..not a life or death deal for me but i did use it for testing on my side when checking on any texting related issues.
T-Mobile does not support texting yourself anymore. Not on your phone or any messaging app. I think it is Dum personally,🙄😟
agreed… not that i did it often but whenever i had a texting issue i could figure out if it was on my side by texting myself and then receiving it or not.
