hi @Rawed 

if cannot send text outside of Apple message system, iMessage, it could be a problem with the phone and an Apple issue

but try testing using the format +1 <area code> <phone number>  and see if it works.  If it shows not delivered, press and hold the text and select Resend as SMS

Currently running 18.2 iOS.on both phones :

I can use data. I can make calls. I just can’t receive or send texts outside of Apples message system

I am.

If you can receive/place calls with number what it is supposed to be, try using native (NOT 3rd party) texting app.

hi @Rawed iPhone or Android?

make sure OS is updated 

if Android, uninstall Google Message and reboot and reinstall 

if iPhone, make sure Carrier Profile is updated
