My son used to have an iPhone. Now he has a Samsung, not by my choice. I can’t send him text messages because my phone is still trying to send iMessages instead of regular texts. How do I fix this?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 12

Have your son deregister his phone number from iMessage.

iMessage I recently got my son an iPhone. It’s pay as you go so no data. Since I downloaded the new update I’m unable to send messages to my son. When he’s not on WIFI my iMessage would send as a text to his phone and vice versa. Now it doesn’t. If he will need data to communicate with me while he’s out then I will have to switch to something other then iPhone
