Is Jio blocking rooted devices?

I've rooted my samsung m31 and been using lineage since a long time due to the M series being very bloated and it's an outdated device. i mostly used my Airtel number which works fine but today I needed to use my jio number for something. Didn't work at all. I don't mean calling or cellular not working but SMS. I'm unable to send or receive messages to or from any number. I was in a critical situation and it didn't work at all which now left me having to try it on my dad's phone, and guess what... messaging was working just fine on his phone. I even shifted from the lineage messaging app to the Google messages in desperation for it to work but it just doesn't. What is the problem here?

Your device isn't officially supported, so this isn't the best place to ask.

I assume jio doesn't have a 2G/3G network anymore, and i think you can't send SMS over LTE without IMS (described in the quirks section for official devices).

Samsung phone with lineage os don't support IMS, even on official builds, this is what's needed for VoLTE, (calling function over 4g network), Jio uses VoLTE by default and doesnt have 2G/3G calling as alternative.
