So on an iPhone 12 when connected to Wi-Fi I have issues with the regular SMS messages going through.

iMessage works excellent though and so does anything else I’m using online, what could be the cause?

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 16

SMS requires that you be connected to the cellular network.

So even if I have Wi-Fi calling switched on this won’t work?

That would, as I recall, depend on your carrier. I'd suggest discussing the matter with them.
