Texting not working on Iphone 6S

[ABrown]

Hi, i recently joined Public Mobile. I unlocked a rogers Iphone 6S and now have public mobile actively working on my phone. I was able to switch APN settings to get LTE network and everything. This is all great but it cannot get outgoing texts to send (SMS). iMessage still works obviously. Please help, i have restored it twice now hoping that would help but i got nothing

I have talk/text plan only with no data, and wasn't able to send text messages as SMS outside of wifi.   I turned off the cellular/data icon in settings and then it worked.

Do you get a notification on your phone saying "Cannot send Message; iMessage needs to be enabled to send this message"? This is an issue I'm currently having when trying to text friends with iPhones

Still not able to text. I reset network settings and turned on and off all message options. 

When i try and correct network settings i only get three options. 

APN:

username: 

Passord:

I dont get the rest of the options to change. 

I input the APN correction but that hasnt solved the issue. 

What should i try next.

Thanks

@ABrown Correct iPhone settings: Settings >> Messages >> iMessage ON, Send as SMS ON, MMS ON >> Send & Receive should show your current PM phone number and your iCloud email address.

Have you tried resetting your network settings?  I have an iphone 6S and it worked fine.

@ABrown Try turning off iMessage and Reset Network Settings.
