You may not have an SMS plan enabled by your carrier for the SIM/eSIM that you use on your device. Apple Inc does not provide SMS services.

Group chat issues with Android phones I am not sure if this is the correct place to pose this question but I am looking for a solution to our recent group text issues. We are a mixed household with Android and one iPhone. The androids are an S23 ultra and S24 ultra that both use Google messages and the iPhone is an iPhone 13 that uses imessages. Recently the iPhone received an update and the group text does not work with the Android phones. The iPhone can send texts to but does not receive any texts from the androids. This only happens in group texts not one to one texts. Is there some new setting that must be enabled to now allow Android to iPhone group messaging? I would like to get this fixed as it will also impact my work related messages. Any help is appreciated. One detail to add, the Android users have used Google messages for at least a couple years so we are not new this app
