Hello. 
I’ve been trying to send SMS for years now, and it’s not working. I can only send SMS if the recipient has iPhone as well. Otherwise, it’s not possible. Please help as this is driving me crazy. I have correct phone number saved in settings. I have tried your suggestion to turn off iMessages, restart phone, make sure the correct phone is saved, turn iMessages back on…. This did nothing. Please advise, otherwise I will need to change the provider. Thanks.

Have you tried these steps?

What happens if you try the SIM in a different phone. Not an iPhone. Thanks.

Is your iPhone setup to allow SMS messages when iMessage is turned ON?

Maybe check that Settings > Messages > Send as SMS is also turned ON.
