I am unable to text android phones after iOS 17.4.1 update on iPhone

Any time I try to text an Android phone after updating to ios 17.4.1, I get a status bar that never completes and then an error message saying the text failed to send. Retries have the same result.

There appears to be a block on SMS delivery, potentially for the SIM that you use. Please check with your carrier to resolve this.


You need to have an SMS/MMS plan enabled by your carrier for the SIM/eSIM that you use on your device. Apple Inc. does not provide SMS/MMS services.
