@1oreilly 

If you are an iphone user and you turn your data off occasionally, then turn off iMessage and use regular text messaging instead.

To do this, go to Settings > Messages and toggle iMessage off.

 

If you prefer to use iMessage, then you can perform the following steps to fix the issue:

  1. Connect to the internet using WiFi or Data.
  2. Go to Settings > Messages and toggle iMessage OFF.
  3. Turn your iPhone off completely, then turn it back on.
  4. Go back into Settings > Messages and toggle iMessage ON.

Make sure “Send as SMS” is also turned ON

Do you mean SMS does not go out at all or recipient is not receiving it?

Can you receive SMS?

@1oreilly   How long you have the problem?  Was it ever work and just stopped working or it never work since you joined PM?

 

So, incoming and outgoing calls both work? but not outgoing Text?  how about incoming text?

 

you can try to clear cache on your Messaging App.  If you are on Android, you might even want to try to use another messaging app like Google Messages.
