Greetings Vshimada,


If you are unable to send or receive messages, these are the best steps to take:


  1. "Update your device to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS if needed.
  2. In the Settings app, tap Cellular. Make sure that your phone line is turned on. If you use multiple SIMs, make sure that the phone number you want to use is selected and turned on.
  3. In the Settings app, tap Messages. Turn iMessage off and then back on.
  4. Tap Send & Receive.
  5. Tap the phone number that you want to use with Messages." If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone or iPad


If the issue continues contact your carrier to ensure that everything is ok on their end, since SMS messages go through your carrier.


We hope this helps!


Sincerely.
