How do I fix my inability to text non-iPhones over Wi-Fi? I set up Wi-Fi calling, and went through the 911 update (someone had told me that would prevent it) but messages still won't go to anything except other iPhones over Wi-Fi.
iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16
SMS messages use the cellular voice channel. MMS uses cellular data.
Some carriers may process SMS and MMS when connected to WiFi for WiFi calling, but not all do.
When I used an Android device on the same network, texting/calling over Wi-Fi never seemed to have this glitch. Would that make a difference? I'm just wondering if I'm missing a setting somewhere, as several people in the same location have mentioned that I shouldn't be encountering this issue.
I set up Wi-Fi calling on my iPhone but for some reason I cannot send or receive texts to anything but other iPhones over Wi-Fi.
