@Crapshoot Turn iMessage off and send text sms instead

@Crapshoot as mentioned by @Handy1 ...imessage needs data. Texting does not.

Did this resolve your issue?

Thanks.. I thought it would automatically convert to a text when I wasn’t on wifi?

HI @Crapshoot did you turn on send as Text on your iPhone?

and make sure you are not sending MMS. You can send MMS, but you need to turn on mobile data
