SMS is a carrier feature, you will need to call your cell phone provider to resolve the issue.

The people who you're having problems with are likely former iPhone owners who never unregistered their device before getting rid of it. There's nothing you can do ... each of them now need to disassociate their number with Apple's servers for iMessage:

Only problem is, I'm the only person they aren't getting messages from. I've taken it to my carrier three times they say it's not their network.

If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
