Texting to Androids

My daughters got new iPhone 11s today, but they won't let them text to my Android, now. Anyone know why or how to fix this?

Texts to non-iPhones are sent as SMS/MMS messages. They are described here:

About iMessage and SMS/MMS - Apple Support

To use SMS/MMS on an iPhone, you need a text-messaging plan. Contact your wireless carrier for more information.
