WiFi Messages to Non Apple Devices

I have been able to send text messages over wifi to non apple devices for over a year. My iphone 12 pro max has been acting up lately so I reset all network settings and I can no longer send these texts. I have little to no signal at my house so I am always on wifi. How do I get this functionality back? Can I go back to the previous network settings?

Hello Fitfreak25,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! We see you're having an issue sending SMS messages. We'd like to help and look into this.

A cellular network is required to send and receive SMS messages as stated here: What is the difference between iMessage and SMS/MMS?

If you're not able to send or receive SMS messages, contact your carrier for further support.

Take care.
