Dual SIM connected to wifi: Messages going as SMS

Hi. I’ve read previous discussion threads and there seems to be no resolution to this issue. (When we tell you the steps suggested by Apple aren’t working, please advise further!)

I just got a second eSIM for Travel. It is currently turned off. When I went to send a message to another iPhone from my Primary (original) local number, it is going as SMS.

As instructed in other treads, the “From” is selected as the Primary iPhone number. The Travel number is turned OFF. Still, my iMessages are going as SMS.

Please HELP!

Connecting to Wi-Fi is the initial step, followed by establishing an internet connection.

However, it's important to note that connecting to Wi-Fi does not automatically guarantee an internet connection. In the event that you are unable to connect to Wi-Fi, the issue may stem from settings on your iPhone or the router/modem.

On the other hand, if you are unable to establish an internet connection despite being connected to Wi-Fi, the problem is likely related to the settings on your router/modem. In such cases, it is advisable to promptly contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for assistance.

Check your WiFi Router / Modem for --> Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points ...

For your Internet connection.

Over Cellular: contact your Carrier (Cellular Service Provider). The agency that issued the SIM to you
Over WiFI: Contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider), the agency that provided the Internet Service on your Modem/Router to you

However --> Connect iPhone to the Internet - Apple Support
