Newly ported phone not sending/receiving non-VZW MMS/SMS

[hvnnast]

I have a newly activiated Galaxy SIII and am having an issue with SMS and MMS.  The phone number has a long history of being ported, most recently AT&T (2004-2012)->StraightTalk->Verizon.

I am able to send and receive both SMS and MMS with another Verizon phone, however, I am not able to receive either SMS or MMS from an AT&T phone.  I was able to send an MMS to the AT&T phone, but I was not able to send SMS.

Any clues or help are appreciated!

Sometimes it takes a while for all the features complete the port from another carrier.  Try call Verizon Wireless customer service from another phone at 1-800-922-0204 and have them verify or reset the text/picture message feature from their end.

Thanks!  My phone was only half ported so the tech got on the porting system and made sure everything was pulled over. It was stuck a little.
