international messaging doesn’t work

I have a foreign telephone number and am unable to send a message to someone in the USA- the error message says something about mms messaging. I am confused. This is the second u s telephone number I have tried to send a simple tect message to.

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hi anniedon,


If you are having trouble sending a message, you can try the following:


  1. As it says there's an issue with MMS, make sure it is turned on in Settings > Messages > MMS Messages.
  2. As you are having trouble sending a message, follow If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone or iPad.
  3. As MMS and SMS messages are from your carrier, contact your wireless carrier for assistance.


Take care.
