iMessage not working for one iPhone user I am unable to send a text using iMessage to my wife's iPhone 12 from my iPhone 12. It is forced to SMS. This is not true for anyone else's iPhone. I can send iMessage to all of them, including iPhone 12 users. I've tried deleting my wife's contact information and past texts. Nothing seems to work. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

You need to enable an SMS messaging plan from your Carrier for the SIM on your device.

Thank you so much. I am going to pick up a new SIM card later this week.
