    Hi ​@mevq,

     

    I’m really sorry you’re having trouble sending texts since joining iD Mobile, I can appreciate how frustrating that must be, especially when receiving messages is working fine.

     

    This issue is usually caused by a settings or network connection problem on the device, so it’s worth trying a few quick troubleshooting steps:

     

    Check your SMS settings:

    • Go to Messages app
    • Tap Settings → More settings → Text messages
    • Check the Message Centre number is set correctly (this is essential for sending texts). If it’s missing or incorrect, Live Chat can provide the correct one.

     

    Reset network settings (recommended):

    • Go to Settings → General management → Reset
    • Tap Reset network settings
    • Restart your phone afterwards

     

    Hope this helps and you get it sorted quickly!

     

    Regards,
