iPhone 13 is blocking text messages from people in the contacts app

Got an iPhone 13 with me and for some reason can't receive text messages from people in the contacts app. It will though receive text messages from unknown numbers? Had a Google search and can't see anything relating to this.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

So if you removed a number from the contact list, does the phone receive the text from that number? Is it standard SMS or an iMessage?

Figured it out, iMessage was set to still use the old iPhone.

Contacted Apple Support and they will move the iMessage authority to the new iPhone

should take around 24 hours
