Hello Rjar1976,

Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. We understand you're unable to receive text and sound notifications on your iPhone.

Having the ability to receive notifications on your iPhone is certainly, and we'll be happy to help.

To help troubleshoot this behavior, please follow each of the following steps:

Install the latest version of iOS 14.2.1 on your iPhone: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Check to see if there's any available updates for your apps: Update apps or use automatic downloads
Review the settings for your notifications to ensure it is properly configured: Use notifications on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Check to make sure that Do Not Disturb is not on: Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Ensure that the date and time is set correctly: Set the date and time on iPhone
If you are using a VPN connection, try temporarily turning it off and then testing it again.

Please let us know if that helps.

Best regards.
