Hi @Percyfuzzle Is it just one particular number or every contact you text?

Most likely the wrong message centre number due to the wrong sim for the account type.

As alluded to above, the message number is read off the sim by the phone, so if you have a contract and a PAYG sim (or vice versa) it will fail.

@Percyfuzzle If you can still receive messages then it won’t be a network problem. Follow the advice in the link given above
