Hi. So, I’ve recently had a new iphone, I have had my number transferred from my old phone. I have no issue with the signal, I can make phone calls and receive them, I can also send and receive imessages, but I can not send a text message. I have tried everything but they are still not sending. Cpuld anyone help? Thanks.

@KateRennie

Check in Settings >Messages and see if "send as sms" is turned on?
