Can’t send SMS messages with iPhone 12

[shuaib2s]

Hi all,

Would someone be able to help me out with this issue? I can’t seem to send SMS messages to anyone and they never get received. I have an iPhone 12 which I switched to last Fall and outgoing SMS messages worked until I took out my SIM and used it in a 4G module for a project and then it stopped working. I’ve sucked it up since most the people I know own an iPhone so iMessage is an easy alternative but I do need to be able to send SMS from time to time. I can receive SMS messages but cannot send them. Would appreciate any help or tips. @Mod

Other things to try:

Network reset of phone (this will erase any saved Wifi passwords)

Logout of iMessage and the login again.

@shuaib2s  In Settings -> Messages -> Send and Receive, is your phone number checked?

hi @shuaib2s 

did you enable to send as text option on the iMessage menu ??

also when the text is not sent , you can click and hold on that message , a menu will pop up and you just select send as text
