I can’t get messages to my kids Garmin bounce with any reliability despite paying the LTE plan. Why is this so dicey?? It’s a key reason I’ve for the product. Thanks.

We are having the same issue with a brand new Bounce with the latest firmware update. The bounce sends messages just fine to all phones that are connected in the family. The app sends messages, but they are only received on other phones in the family, not on the Bounce. Sometimes, if I restart my phone, the messages will then be received by the Bounce. We will give it a couple of days, otherwise it's going back and I'll request a refund for the $100 a year subscription. If it were an adult watch, I might be more inclined to mess around with it, but my son is losing interest in wearing a device that doesn't work as advertised...
