Unable the send SMS even though I am registered

I successfully registered my number and got it approved.  I can receive SMS, but cannot reply because it still says I’m not registered.  Everything in the RingCentral admin portal indicates that I am already registered.

    I successfully registered my number and got it approved.  I can receive SMS, but cannot reply because it still says I’m not registered.  Everything in the RingCentral admin portal indicates that I am already registered.

    I would recommend creating a case. This may need a reset from Telco Ops. 
    When you create the case, send me the case. number and I’ll follow up with it.

    No need to create a case.  I had a hunch that if I closed the RingCentral app and logged back in, that it might pick up the approved status.

    It worked!  I can now receive and send replies using the Windows app.

    It would be nice to have the app updated so that it gets real-time status for things like this, but this simple step seems to be a reasonable work-around in the meantime.

    Maybe I still need to create a ticket for another issue.  If I make a voice call to this SMS number , I get “Number Not Valid”.  Does that mean that the porting process is incomplete or that this number is SMS-only and cannot receive voice calls?

    Thanks!
