If you're using Public Mobile and you can receive texts but cannot send SMS, while mobile data and APN seem correct, try these checks:

Check SMSC (Message Center Number)

Open your phone's messaging settings.

Look for Message Center or SMSC.

For Public Mobile/Telus, it is usually:

+16134000800

If it's missing or incorrect, outgoing texts may fail.

Restart your phone

Turn it off for 30 seconds and back on.

Toggle Airplane Mode

Turn Airplane Mode on for 30 seconds, then off.

Check your account

Try another messaging app

If using Google Messages, disable RCS Chat Features temporarily and test a regular SMS.

Reset network settings

Settings → System → Reset → Reset Network Settings.

Note: this will remove saved Wi-Fi passwords.

Test different numbers

Try sending to another Canadian mobile number.

Note the exact error message (e.g., "Not sent", "Message blocking active", error code).

Thanks.

If you just join PM, make sure you removed the old sim card or eSIM

Reboot phone and Reset Network Settings

And if still have trouble and if you have Android, uninstall and reinstall Google Message
