For the past couple days I have not been receiving text messages. I am on Sprint network with latest firmware of s8+ but I don't know what's going on. Any ideas?

Reboot. If that falls, try SIM in a different phone. If SIM good, may be time to factory reset the phone.

How would I know if the Sim is good? I have to activate the phone to be able to do anything with it

Advanced messaging working?

Title says it all. I have tried to use it with my brothers note 5 but it doesn't seem to work. WiFi calling and voLTE enabled on both phones.
Both phones have to have advanced messaging. It works between my and my wife with our note 5's
anyone else been trying to see if this works or not...
Lol still doesn't work between my brother and i. Both with note 5s. May be it's still "rolling" out to places, ie towers not updated yet
You have to go into contacts and open each contact that has the capability and the video calling and advanced messaging will flip to green. At least that has been my experience to get it to work for my contacts that have the option.

I tried that approach with my note 5, my wife has a galaxy s6. Advanced messaging was working for a bit, but then it stopped.

Mine works fine. I changed nothing, it was just working on day. I like it.

It works fine for me but sometimes like for a few hours a day it stops working and I have to manually toggle the ready report on/off to get it working again.

I thought it was weird that I could see my wife typing a message on my phone and it only worked for her.

Sounds like I've had in the past. Try this:
Turn off VoLTE and wifi calling.
Reboot and test wifi. If your speeds are back then it's because of those things.
I was plagued with the slow wifi issue ever since the Note 4....essentially for two whole years. Finally figured out it was they service being crap in NOCO.

Oh I'm sorry dude. Other than those "tricks" I have no idea what else it might be. My guess is maybe try fresh start again to see if it gets fixed.

Internet and phone not at the smart time

I noticed when I was driving that while I was on the phone Waze was not responsive.
It turns out that Sprint claims Samsung has to fix it. The S7 edge cannot at this moment talk and internet the the same time

Guys i am back to my note 3 with the s7 i cannot download emails text while on the phone. Anyone experiencing that?
I used a note 3 or 3 years same provider same area same everything. On my note 3 all works fine. On my S7 I cannot download email or text while on the phone.
Maybe there i a problem with the service I just want to make sure is not the phone.
Anyone else experiencing the same issue?
Thanks

I found tyis article:
Unfortunately you cannot do this anymore on Sprint. I will list below as to why.
The older phones had two CDMA radios put in them (such as the S3 on Sprint). One dedicated to voice -- another dedicated to data. Therefore you could do voice and data. GSM has always been one radio .. because that one radio can do both tasks at the same time. They got around it on CDMA by simply adding another radio in there and dedicating each one to one task.
Now a days they're getting rid of that second CDMA radio. So therefore you can only use talk, or data -- not both at the same time. Now if you're using VoLTE it will allow voice and data since the call will be going through LTE (as data) and .. data will be data. So it is technically then all data. Verizon can get by since they have VoLTE ... Sprint doesn't yet so .. No other work-around except to just use WiFi while on the call.

Visual Voicemail app "not compatible with my device"?

Hi Folks, kind of what the title says. I'm trying to get a Note 5 set up for my mom to use. Basic Visual Voicemail is supposed to be included with any smartphone plan, but the Play store says the VVM app is "not compatible" with my device. Any idea what's going on here?
I have the regular (non-visual) voicemail app, but that just basically dials *86 for me and turns on the speakerphone. Thanks!
I don't know... I had it then got a replacement phone and loaded MM. I liked visual voicemail.

I have it working now. I got on chat with a Verizon rep who told me she activated it. In the meantime I had also sideloaded the apk of the Verizon Visual Voicemail app, which did not seem to help, but I'm not sure. I was doing this at about the same time as I was on chat with the rep, so I'm not really sure what solved the problem, but it's working now.
And you're on Nougat or MM?

Nougat. Bone stock device, new a couple weeks ago. Insurance replacement for a lost one.
Mine is an insurance replacement also, downgraded back to MM. So, I don't know. I really liked visual voicemail. If I contact Verizon for assistance, they will want to know why I'm on MM.

Their systems already know you're on MM and besides it's really not any of Verizons damn business what rom version you're on.. Just download the visual voice-mail from somewhere and run it.
Visual voicemail from play store won't let me. Says device's not compatible.

You can give this a shot but I'm not sure if it's going to work without being in /system/priv-apps .. Still worth a try though.

Says parsing error. This happens with another app I try to download. I don't have that many apps disabled in package disabler so I'm not sure.

Personally I think it's because it needs to be in /system/priv-apps
Maybe I'll call Verizon see if they can help. If it wasn't for having my own business, visual voicemail wouldn't be a big deal. But once I had it, I liked it and used it quite frequently.

Ok...got visual voicemail working. Talked to a tech on the ask a tech feature. Had to go into application manager and force stop voicemail. Then go into the Verizon folder in my app drawer and click on voicemail. Since I got this replacement 5 and downgraded back to MM it changed settings. So I'm good now.
Thanks for all the replies. Maybe this will help OP.

New update, December 27th, 2017. Seems harmless so far, supposedly added something new but I don't see it, maybe because I run Nova launcher?
So where is Oreo? Probably not this quarter and never for me since new phone arrives in two days.
