iMessages not sending to other iPhones (and all settings are correct)

My iPhone isn’t sending iMessages to other iPhones. They are sending texts instead. This only happened once I started using dual sims. I have checked my settings and all of them are correct in line with previous advice shared on this topic. Any idea on how I get imessaging back?


thanks!

iPhone SE, iOS 15

To activate iMessage and FaceTime using your Phone number


First, check to know whether you have an SMS plan enabled at least for One SMS with your carrier. Contact your Carrier (Cellular Service Provider) the agency that issued the SIM to you


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)


If you can't turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime - Apple ...


If the above process does not work then simply disable WiFi and enable iMessage over 4G
