My bad, I misunderstood. For some reason, I thought it was only your wife's phone that was having the issue even though later in your post you said "we". My mistake!I thought it might be a sim card issue too when it was only my phone. The annoying part was I went to the T-Mobile store to do a sim swap, but couldn't because I wasn't getting text messages to confirm my account. When I came home and noticed my wife's phone was having the same issue, figured it wasn't a sim card issue.
Strange issue. I'll do some tests between my brother and/or sister and myself. I'm not on T-Mobile, but worth checking anyway. I almost exclusively use Google Voice when I'm not using Google Chat, so I don't do proper text messages often enough to notice.
