I'm using dual sim with my iphone XR. I cannot send messages with both my numbers

I'm using dual sim with my iphone XR. I cannot send messages with both my numbers (the iphone says: Number not available. Which number would you like to send the message with?, even if I switch). However, I can send messages if I use an old conversation + But both numbers work perfectly for calls.

iPhone XR, iOS 14

SMS with Dual Sim, cannot start conversation on secondary number My iPhone 11 Pro Max (13.1.3) has a physical sim for Primary. I have just added an e-Sim as secondary. When I start a new sms conversation and select "use secondary", it is sent from my primary number. What am I doing wrong? or this an IOS 13.1.3 bug (not another LOL). PS The situation corrects itself if the conversation receives an SMS to the secondary number, if that makes sense.

Dual SIM iPhone Cannot Send Texts without iMessage Enabled I wish to send SMS's but without using iMessage. I originally used a physical SIM card for personal calls, from my original provider, Optus. I now have a second phone number for work, with SIM, plan and number provided by Telstra. I only want to carry one phone for personal and work. I changed my physical SIM for an electronic SIM with my Personal provider. At this point, phone worked fine and would send SMS without iMessage. I then installed a physical SIM for my Work provider. After this, standard SMS's would not send. The screen simply failed to respond to the "Send" icon. Once iMessage was enabled, SMS's would send okay but I want to send texts without iMessage. What can I do? All other aspects of the dual SIM phone work fine. My phone is an iPhone 11. Can I please ask that any responder reads and understands the issue fully, before replying? Many thanks in advance.

Ask your carrier about your e-sim plan.
