Hi there! I understand you're having trouble receiving the text message needed to set up the AliasMobile app on your new iPhone 17 Pro Max. To help you best, I want to clarify a couple of things first:

1. Are you not receiving any text at all, or specifically the setup verification text from the AliasMobile app?
2. Is your iPhone connected to a stable cellular network, and do you receive other regular texts normally?
3. Have you tried any troubleshooting steps so far, such as restarting the phone or checking your messages settings?

With those details, I can guide you more effectively. Meanwhile, here are some initial steps tailored to your iPhone 17 Pro Max on iOS:

1. Ensure your phone number is correctly set for messaging:
- Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
- Make sure your phone number is checked and selected for both sending and receiving iMessages.

2. Check SMS and MMS settings:
- In Settings > Messages, ensure Send as SMS and MMS Messaging are enabled so text messages can come through properly.

3. Restart your iPhone:
- Sometimes a simple reboot can refresh network connections.

4. Reset network settings:
- Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This resets Wi-Fi passwords and cellular settings, so you'll need to reconnect Wi-Fi after.

5. Check for any carrier or system updates:
- In Settings > General > Software Update, confirm your iPhone has the latest iOS version.
- Also verify carrier settings update at Settings > General > About (a prompt will appear if there's an update).

6. Verify you have cellular signal and are not blocking texts:
- Confirm your signal bar is strong.
- In Settings > Messages > Blocked Contacts, check no numbers related to Alias or unknown numbers are blocked.

7. Try requesting the code again from the AliasMobile app.

If none of these steps work, it might be a temporary carrier issue or a problem with the Alias app's SMS gateway service. At that point, I can help you escalate the issue or try alternative verification methods.

Let me know what you find or if you've tried any of these already! That way, I can guide you further.

Unable to receive text when setting up AliasMobile app on new iPhone 17 Pro Max

Thanks for confirming! Since the AliasMobile app is not receiving the setup text on your new iPhone 17 Pro Max, I found some relevant tips that could help resolve the issue specific to this device and iOS version.

Here’s what I recommend trying:

1. Turn off Wi-Fi temporarily and use cellular only for setup
Some users with iPhone 17 Pro Max have reported needing to disable Wi-Fi during authentication/verification steps because Wi-Fi calling or network routing sometimes interferes with receiving SMS verification codes. To do this:
- Swipe down from the top right of your iPhone screen to open Control Center.
- Tap the Wi-Fi icon to disable it.
- Make sure cellular data is turned on (Settings > Cellular).
- Retry requesting the verification text in the AliasMobile app.

2. Toggle iMessage off and on
Sometimes the phone tries to route messages through iMessage rather than SMS, causing delays in receiving texts for setup which rely on SMS. Try this:
- Go to Settings > Messages.
- Toggle iMessage off, wait a few seconds, then toggle it back on.
- Then request the AliasMobile verification text again.

3. Check Wi-Fi Calling settings
Wi-Fi Calling can occasionally affect receiving messages on certain carriers with this new iPhone model. Try toggling it off and on to reset:
- Go to Settings > Cellular > Wi-Fi Calling.
- Toggle off Wi-Fi Calling, wait 10 seconds, then toggle it back on.

4. Verify network and carrier settings updates
- Go to Settings > General > About and see if there’s a prompt to update carrier settings.
- Also check for any iOS software updates at Settings > General > Software Update.

5. Restart the iPhone after making these changes to make the settings stick and refresh network connections.

If after these you still don’t get the text for the AliasMobile setup, it may be an issue on the service side or a temporary carrier incompatibility. In that case, you can also try using the app’s “Send Feedback” option under its Settings menu to report the problem for further investigation by Alias support2 3.

Could you try these steps and let me know if the setup text comes through? I’m here to help with any of the steps if you want me to guide you through!

Issue remains unresolved

Thanks for letting me know the issue is still unresolved. Let’s try some additional Alias-specific troubleshooting steps that may help with the verification text not coming through on your iPhone 17 Pro Max:

1. Verify your Alias account is active and properly configured
- Sometimes, the problem might be related to your Alias account setup. If you have access to Alias via web or desktop, check your account status and security settings to ensure there are no restrictions or blocks.
- Also, confirm that the phone number you registered in Alias matches your iPhone’s number exactly.

2. Try authentication via an authenticator app instead of SMS
- According to Alias FAQs, their system supports using authenticator apps (like Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator) for security codes rather than SMS.
- If the AliasMobile app gives you the option, select to use an authenticator app for verification to bypass SMS delivery issues1.

3. Clear the app data or reinstall AliasMobile app on your iPhone
- Sometimes corrupt app data can cause issues. You can try deleting the AliasMobile app, then reinstalling it fresh from the App Store.
- Before reinstalling, also restart your iPhone to clear residual caches.

4. Check for permission restrictions on your iPhone
- In Settings > Privacy & Security > Messages, ensure the AliasMobile app is allowed to send and receive texts or notifications if applicable.

5. Reach out to Alias support directly via the app or their official support page
- Since this looks like a persistent issue, you might want to submit a support request through the AliasMobile app’s Help or Feedback option or on their website. They can provide device-specific assistance and check for server-side issues1.

If these don’t resolve it, would you be able to share if any error messages appear during the setup or if the app gets stuck waiting for the code? That info will help me narrow down further. Also, confirm if you can receive SMS messages from other contacts or services normally—this helps confirm it’s isolated to Alias texts.

Looking forward to your update! Are you satisfied with these next steps so far?
