iPhone physical SIM cannot send texts to non-iPhones

I am not able to sent text messages to non iphones. I have a e-sim and a physical sim. They are from separate network providers. I can send texts from the number with the e-sim but not from the number with physical sim. I am able to receive texts though.


Any help is much appreciated.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 18

That’s an issue with the cellular service provider that issued / provided the physical SIM. Please contact their support team for assistance. A new SIM may be required or the SIM needs to be reprovisioned by the carrier.
