Haven’t been able to send text messages all day. Even tried a hard reset. No dice.
I dial 611 to ask WTF and get “We’re sorry. We are not currently able to authenticate your phone. Hang up and dial #8899.”
What’s the deal evolve?

Tech Support - 866-788-9387
This is all stemming from your upgrade to 6.1? That doesnt make sense to me. Sounds like a feature issue in access (Vision north? is that still around originalsin?)
I bet if they dummied out your esn then put it back on and reset it it would fix it.
