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?

As you may have by now surmised, your carrier has suspended your SMS/MMS messaging service. Hopefully if not presumably until the next billing period begins. Review your contract and/or contact your carrier.
