iPhone 15 can't text Android phones

I got the 15 last week and I cannot text non iPhones. Sometimes, they go through individually, sometimes not and never if within a group. My settings have not changed. I have checked the usual issues and removed the 1- from in front of the phone numbers. Help! This is more than an annoyance, as some groups are essential for work.

In our case, the carrier - Verizon Wireless - told me a (free) feature was missing from the line - called "Integrated Messaging". No clue how that was missing, but they added it and the issue was resolved. Hope this will help someone else!
