Unable to send responses to automated texts on my iPhone

I am unable to send responses to automated texts, such as doctors’ offices asking you to reply to confirm your appointment. All other texts send so it doesn’t seem to be a cell service or Wi-Fi connectivity issue. I checked my SMS and MMS settings they are correct and I can text everyone else. It just the automated messages. I have restarted my phone etc...

Setting Up a Dr. Apt.:

Call them back, and leave them a voice message. Seems they've provided you with the incorrect numbers. Are you certain this is your doctor's office texting you, and not someone else?
