Cannot send SMS to Android phone?

Hello,


I have iphone 11 - update iOS 14.3.


I cannot send SMS / MMS to Android phones.


I have reset - I have checked all settings - i have shut down the app, I have switched phone off


I have tested with iPhone users (no issues) but messages to Android either takes over 2 hours to send or “message sending failure”


I have tested with full wifi, and 4G networks.


any help is greatly appreciated

The only setting you need is Settings, Messages and turn on SMS.

If that setting is on try Settings, General, Reset, Reset network settings.

Ensure your Settings, Messages has the correct phone number in send & receive addresses
