Unable to send texts from Sri Lanka

Anonymous
Not applicable
Just arrive in Sri Lanka I have an iPhone 6, data roaming off. I can receive texts (Inc from uk) but when I send I get a message a few minutes later saying it failed

I'm current registered to dialog but have tried various local carriers - all the same. Any ideas?

Pay monthly then please turn off mobile data which will cost £6.00/MB in Sri Lanka. Use wifi only, clean the sim card and reboot.

Try rebooting the phone a couple of times - Are you on contract or PAYG?
