new to Visible - iMessage sending as text (green) instead of blue to other iPhone users

[gothaggis]

I am new to Visible - and all of my text messages to other iPhone users are sending as regular text instead of iMessage.  I have tried turning off both iMessage and Facetime, rebooting the phone, then turning them back on - but same thing is happening.  How do I fix this?  I switched from postpaid Verizon where everything was working great.

FYI - I was able to fix this. Had to go into Settings -> Messages -> iMessage Send & Receive - my phone number was not selected.  Selecting it fixed the problem.

So far so good … the issue resolved. Thanks for this simple “why didn’t I look at that” remedy. LOL!!! 😂
