Will MMS to Android users ever work using Mac Messages app with iPhone on Google Fi?

On my iPhone (15 Pro iOS 17.1.1), I can exchange MMS messages just fine with Android users, but it doesn’t work from the Messages app on my Mac (running macOS 14.1.1), which replies, "Cannot Send Message / MMS Messaging needs to be enabled to send this message" (see attached screenshot).


It worked when my iPhone was on T-Mobile, but stopped working when I switched my iPhone to Google Fi.


Has anyone managed to get it to work?


(Please don’t reply with speculation.)


MacBook Air (M1, 2020)

After trying everything else, including rebooting both devices, I signed out of iCloud on the Mac, and it automatically signed in, I rebooted (maybe not necessary?) and it all started working, again.
