Probably you are using Multiple IDs for multiple servcies.
Use the same Apple ID every time you sign-in to use all Apple services like the App Store, iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime.
Where can I use my Apple ID?
You can sign in to all Apple services with a single Apple ID and password.
Your Apple ID is the account you use to access Apple services like the App Store, Apple Music, iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and more. It contains the email address and password you use to sign in, plus all of the contacts, payment, and security details you use for all Apple services.
Here are some of the most common services that you can access to your Apple ID:
To manage your Apple ID account to your information, go Apple ID accounts page .

Thanks.
Perhaps your recipient isn’t ???
First: Ensure that you’re running iOS 18.2.1.
Try a complete power-off restart of your phone.
You might also try signing “out” and back “in”
to iMessage
Deregister iMessage on your iPhone or online - Apple Support
Finally, you might try signing “out” and back “in” to your Apple Account.
Sign out of iCloud on your devices - Apple Support
FYI, the telephony side of your phone can generally place and receive calls irregardless of your Apple Account settings.
So … can you restate EXACTLY what was displayed in the message ?
A screenshot — with any PII redacted — can be helpful.
