Texts not sending

SMS not sending on my Android. I turned chat features off and tried both on and off wifi, nothing helps. Any ideas what's going on? Is this a Visible issue? My wife's phone has the same problems, different brand Android even.

Have you tried using the troubleshooting steps on the main page of this help forum?

While I have an IPhone, I have found that sometimes enabling airplane mode for a couple mins then disabling airplane mode fixes some quirks I have ran into.

 

Also, I have had a couple times where iMessage gives an alert that the message did not go through, but the party texts back and it is obvious they did get it.   Saying this to say, are you confirming with the other party they didn't get the message or are you going off a delivery/read receipt on the messaging platform?

I confirmed with my wife that she did not receive my messages.

I'm having the same issue, SMS fails. MMS works though. I saw someone else on Twitter with the same issue. Support chat is experiencing higher than normal Care volume. I think it's the network, not your device(s)

I'm having the same issue on iphone - iMessages go through but not SMS.

I am also having the same issue on Samsung Galaxy. Very frustrating. I did all the trouble shooting stuff, including factory resetting my phone, 

Mine is now working again, but I am still talking to chat to figure out what happened.

Based on some other response, it appears this may be a more widespread issue.  I assumed this was an ongoing problem and not something that just started.  I would suggest either reaching out to chat directly or waiting a short period of time to see if it resolves...

Almost Two months after OP, similar issue is happening to me:

 

Can not send/receive SMS.

Can send MMS, but can not receive.

Voice & 5G Data work fine.

 

I hope Engineering team at Visible can solve this in the near future.
