            <div>My son bought a new Google Pixel 3a XL that he's
              thrilled with (moving on from an iPhone 6), except he
              can't get texts from anyone sending from an iPhone (like
              his Dad, and many others). At one point I seemed to be
              able to at least press and highlight my messages and
              convert them to text, but now that's no longer working.
              He's had the phone a few weeks. </div>
            <div><br>
              Is this a carrier or an Android or an iPhone issue? Is
              there a setting he can change? We're on Sprint. He's
              calling them tomorrow so hopefully they'll have an answer,
