My son is not receiving my calls or texts

My son had his own Apple ID.

He is part of our family sharing.


he is not receiving my IMessages- he received a new iPhone and has a phone number now. So turned I messaged off and tried to regular text him. He still cannot receive my messages. He can send and receive messages with others… both iMessages and Text messages.


Only me. only my calls and texts are not working. I have been sitting next to him trying everything I can think of. I need help.


how can I fix this. He can text me… I get it… when iMessages be are turned off… when iMessages are turned on. I don’t get it. But he does not get my messages at all and when I try to call him he doesn’t get it and it goes straight to VM.


bizarre.
