Not so; iMessage/MMS must have data, SMS needs no data connection. 

Best iPhone settings are: Settings >> Messages >> iMessage ON, Send as SMS ON, MMS ON >> Send & Receive: should show PM phone number and Apple ID email address.

If iMessage is OFF all messaging is regular SMS/MMS.

Well nobody else is saying anything...I think iMessage needs an internet connection (wifi or cell data). MMS needs cell data (paid or not) on.

I'm not an Apple guy so I'm just searching around and found that someone had success with the Home/Power button to do a full shutdown. Then turn it back on again.

Are you using iMessage? Is it *all* recipients?

If iMessage, are you able to change the setting to use SMS rather than going through iMessage. iMessage needs wifi or data to work otherwise.

After your post...

Are you on a limited text plan? Maybe you have used up your text limit?
