No text messaging at all.

About a week or so back I stopped getting text notifications. Had to open app to see if I'd received any. Decided to roll back to 8.1 and upgrade to newest release. Phone never would roll back. Did factory reset and tried again with no luck. My problem now is no text messaging. No message icon. Tried having Cortana "open messaging" with no luck. Tried sending links or photos but there is no option for messaging. It's as if the messaging app is not even in the OS. Anyone else experience anything similar?

I've had similar experience on my L920 trying to update from 10539 to latest on fast ring. Did hard reset with clean install but reverts to 10539...at least that is what phone reports...and messaging is gone. I was using Skype messenger.

Exact same scenario. L920 as well.

By turning on Cortana to always read messages, I can at least get the ones sent to me while my phone is in my hand.
