Received messages are being split

I just switched to Total Wireless. I got a new phone (iphone13) My friend is on T-Mobile. Virtually every text (received via messages) that she sends to me is missing part of the text and is split in two individual texts. Keep in mind that these are not large texts. They are often just a sentence.

Could it be something with the RCS messaging; it says it is waiting for activation?

Has anyone else had this happen? Are there any fixes? Is it a settings issue? Is it the carriers?... Am I doomed to give up on this text thread?

Thanks for any help! :)

SMS is your phone carrier feature report it to them.
