Imessages says user only connected via satelitte
So, Apple closed the tread related to this, and I only found my answer on reddit. I text myself items i want to refer back to. Somehow my thread got stuck on satelitte and was not allowed to send photos etc. Do not want to delete thread as suggested by Apple. Tried reboot. Only thing that worked for me was this reddit

Been having the same issue and discussing with some other users on apple support. Looks like the trick is to sign out of your apple account in the send/receive menu in message settings. Send a message to the impacted person WHILE you are signed out. Then sign back in.
