Contact your Carrier (Cellular Service Provider) The agency who issued the SIM to you to know whether you have an SMS plan enabled at least for One SMS
If your iPhone is used with a carrier not found in the wireless carrier articles, make sure you can send and receive international SMS. (One SMS Only)
