Double Check something-

Open Settings ➔ Messages ➔ Send as SMS - Ensure that this is set to ON.

Try sending a SMS to the SIM in question and see whether it at least is able to receive SMS messages.


Furthermore if that does not work then please call your carrier and ensure that SMS is turned to ON on their side.
