Hello abr1111,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. From what I understand, you want to reach out to Apple Support by text message, but are getting an error that it's only available in the United States. I'll do what I can to help.


Make sure you're messaging from a US-based phone number, especially if on a Dual SIM iPhone. Also, check the region setting on the iPhone: Change the language on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If you are having issues still, you can contact Apple Support directly from this link here: Contact Apple Support


Thanks and have a wonderful day.
