In the USA without an add on Roaming. How do I stop getting error messages saying I can't send text

[George1509]

I am in the USA and have not purchased a roaming package.     However, I keep receiving error message from PM saying I can't send texts.     How can I suppress this error message?

thanks ... that seems to have done the trick

@George1509 you can take the sim out of your phone.  It isn't getting any service anyway

Turn off roaming from in your phone settings.

thanks .   I don't want to use the USA Add on for roaming.    I have a VOIP service in the USA and an Esim for data.

I am sending text messages on the VOIP app but when I do I see the PM error message even though the text gets sent on the VOIP app

You need to make the 2 steps USA Roaming package first then reboot your phone. 1-add sufficient funds 2-make your Roaming purchase.

It is easier on a PC if you can get your hands on one where you are staying.
