SMS Text Messaging

I have an iPhone 8 (IOS 12.3.1) but SMS Text Messaging isn't working (iMessage DOES work, as do all other functions and services, as far as I can tell). Neither:


**5005*7672*120631****#


nor


*# 5005***#


provide any meaningful response "Error performing request. Unknown Error". Please advise ... any help gratefully received.


Thank you; kind regards,


Steve.

Forgive my ignorance, but what are those strings supposed to achieve?


Without knowing the answer, it seems a carrier issue as they "own" SMS and are responsible for it's transportation from point a to b.


In fact, I see the longer string on TMobile's support site. Is that way to select a specific SMS routing number?
