If you're still seeing a red exclamation point and you don't have the option to send as a text message, what do you do?

If you're still seeing a red exclamation point and you don't have the option to send as a text message, it could indicate a more complex issue with your messaging service or device. Here are some additional details and troubleshooting steps:

1. **Check Message Details**: Tap and hold the message with the red exclamation point to see if there are any additional details or error messages that could provide clues about the issue.

2. **Update iOS**: Ensure your device is running the latest version of iOS. Go to Settings > General > Software Update to check for and install any available updates.

3. **Check iCloud Settings**: If you're using iCloud for messages, ensure that your iCloud settings are configured correctly. Go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Messages and toggle the switch to enable iCloud for messages.

4. **Reset iMessage**: Go to Settings > Messages and turn off iMessage. Wait a few seconds and then turn it back on. This can sometimes resolve issues with iMessage.

5. **Check Date and Time Settings**: Ensure that your device's date and time settings are correct. Incorrect settings can cause issues with iMessage.

6. **Reset Network Settings**: Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will reset all network settings, including Wi-Fi passwords and VPN settings. After resetting, reconnect to your Wi-Fi network and try sending the message again.

7. **Contact Apple Support**: If none of the above steps work, you may need to contact Apple Support for further assistance. There may be a more specific issue with your device or account that requires advanced troubleshooting. None of these are working though
