Dumb phones Communicating with iPhones

I was sending and receiving texts messages to my sister’s dumb phone - until last Wednesday. Now my sister cannot text me. I have an iPhone SE. My provider is Jersey Telecom, my sister’s is EE. Neither provider was able to provide a solution

iPhone SE, iOS 17

didn't receive a code I have never owned an IPhone, but my sister's IPhone refuses to send texts to my Android phone. They always send as iMessage which only go to my wife's IPad or my MacBook Pro. I have tried to deregister my phone number but it does not send a code for me to enter. If my sister turns off iMessage on her phone then it won't send me messages at all.

Cannot receive texts from my sister I just switched carriers, ported my old number, and got a new iPhone 12. Now I cannot receive texts from my sister. (She does NOT have an iPhone) At first she was only receiving the messages I was sending from my iPhone on her iPad as iMessages (The only apple product she has is an iPad). We were both able to send and receive messages. I turned off iMessages on my iPhone and removed the email associated with her Apple account from her profile in my contacts. This allowed my texts to her being received on her phone. That solved half the problem. The remaining issue is that now I’m not getting the replies she is sending. I have tried numerous fixes on my end including multiple reboots, latest software update, entirely cleared my blocked contacts list, deleted her from contacts and re-added her (without her email address), deleted our old conversation, turned off iMessages on my iMac… I’m at a loss. She said when she tries calling my number it goes directly to voicemail. She is the only person I’m having this issue with. I’ve recommended some fixes for her to try on her end. Can anymore make any other suggestions to fix this issue? Thanks kindly in advance
