How do I turn off message blocking

A few hours ago, I started getting this message every time I tried to send a text to any phone that is not an iPhone:


Free Msg: Unable to send message - Message Blocking is active.


I didn’t change any settings. Why is my phone doing this, and how to I turn it off?

Correction: your carrier has suspended your SMS/MMS messaging service It's probably more accurate to say they are/were blocking your SMS/MMS messages and then possibly only sent ones. I know you would know but wanted to correct myself for the record.
