iPhone to iPhone green messages

I have an iPhone 13 and just recently got switched to an eSIM. For the past day or so, I’ve botines that my messages have been sending as green instead of the blue iMessage bubbles. I’ve tried a hard shut down and I checked settings to make sure the iMessage was turned on. Is there anything else I can try?

iPhone 13, iOS 16

iMessage (Blue) -

iPhone to iPhone: requires internet (Either over WiFi or Cellular Service) as it is sent over internet protocol. Needs Activation on your device.
iPhone to Android: Not available

SMS/MMS (Green) -

iPhone to Android: does not require any internet it is sent over cellular voice protocol. Needs to be enabled by your Carrier for the SIM used by you.
iPhone to iPhone: When iMessage is not activated or the device is not connected to the internet either over cellular or WiFi
You need to have an SMS/MMS plan enabled by your carrier for the SIM/eSIM that you use on your device. Apple Inc does not provide SMS/MMS services.

It will turn from Blue to Green if you have enabled "Send as SMS" and whenever your iPhone is not connected to the internet it is sent as SMS (green) to all iPhone users.
