Hello ihaveaproblem0919! Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.


We understand that you're unable to send SMS text messages from your Apple Watch. We'd like to look into this with you to see how we can help.


To send SMS and MMS messages from your Apple Watch, you'll need an Apple Watch with cellular. You can learn more about that with the following resources:


Set up cellular on Apple Watch


Set up an Apple Watch for a family member


Make it a great day!
