Sending Text on IPhone 8

I just updated my phone from IPhone 6 to IPhone 8. I only can send IMessages but no texts. I tried to changed message settings but nothing works. Basically it looks like I can only send messages to IPhone users.

iPhone 8, iOS 12

Hello.


Make sure SMS is on under Settings > Messages > Send as SMS.

Turn it off. Restart your iPhone. Then turn back on.


If this doesn't resolve your issue. contact your carrier, since SMS is a carrier feature.
