I don't know how many out there know about this but it seems to be a somewhat common issue with SMS. One method of resolving it is to use "minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB2" to clear the modems cache.
What worked for me was this::
sudo mmcli -m 0 --messaging-list-sms
^^ this lists the sms queue; the 0 can be replaced with 0-3 iirc.
sudo mmcli -m 0 --messaging -delete -sms=1
^^this deletes a specific sms message in the queue and will allow further messages to come in. Further info about "mmcli" available here::

After deleting a bunch of messages, i still wasn't getting all the messages i was expecting- but i got most of them. What ended up bringing the rest in was simply visiting::
NetworkConnections > MobileBroadband > Broadband
Hope this helps. Hopefully a patch will be sent out soon.
@lucifargundam My solution was to just get a jmp.chat account. I wish I had known about them sooner.
@swiley
i have enough subscriptions for other things :) thanks though! $35USD a year isn't a bad deal!
@lucifargundam It is more than a patch needed. Most likely these are MMS which are not handled by the chatty message app. MMS support has been in the works by a community member, however upstreaming that has not proven easy and it takes a bit of work. Not made easier by the fact that MMS are effectively unused and horribly expensive in some parts of the world...
But great hint on cleaning out the pending message queue!
