Text won’t send. Green progress bar freezes.

I have restarted my phone several times, and I have checked my messages settings. I still can’t send iMessages or regular text messages with my iPhone 14. My OS is up-to-date.

That’s not it. My texts were sending and receiving just fine. This is a recent (started happening a couple of hours ago), sudden issue. I do appreciate your help.

To activate iMessage and FaceTime using your Phone number


First, check to know whether you have an SMS plan enabled at least for One SMS*** with your carrier. Contact your Carrier (Cellular Service Provider) the agency that issued the SIM to you


If your iPhone is used with a carrier not found in the wireless carrier articles, make sure you can send and receive international SMS. (One SMS*** Only)


If you can't turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime - Apple ...



*** 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.
