If your using an Android handset, try the following:

  1. Turn OFF "Chat features" in the Google Messages app.
  2. Restart your device.
  3. Send an SMS to check.

If you're using an iPhone, try a Network Reset.

For an iPhone, turn off iMessage and then turn on again.

I'm having the same issue, but I've found that it only happens when "Chat messages" are active. I have had to switch chat features off. Does anyone know how to change it properly?

Have you tried the following, @NigelJe_2529689

  1. Turn OFF RCS chats (โ€œChat featuresโ€) in the Google Messages app.
  2. Turn OFF the handset and carefully remove the SIM card.
  3. Check the SIM card is clean and undamaged, before re-inserting the iD SIM card.
  4. Turn ON the handset.
  5. Turn ON RCS chats.
