What happens when you try? Are you getting an error message? If so, what does it say? Is this only happening with one person or everyone you've tried who isn't using iMessage? Can you send a new message (not a reply)? Can you make and receive phone calls?

SMS is a carrier function. Apple has nothing to do with it. And, it's rare for the issue to be the phone.
