iPhone 6s will not send or receive texts from android phones

5 days ago I updated to the 6s and my wife joined my plan and got a galaxy s7.  Everything was great until yesterday afternoon when we stopped being able to text each other.  I can't receive her messages and my messages to her keep popping up with the red "not sent" logo.  I've erased our conversation and started a new one, toggled lte off and on, reset the network settings, done a hard reset, toggled iMessages off and on, nothing is working.  Help me, please!

Help has arrived HMAqxmgr. I use text messages as my main form of communication so I know how important this is. Let’s get your text messages flowing like they should. What make/model phone did you have before upgrading? What zip code are you in? You able to text other android device?

I had a 5s, upgraded to a 6s.  I can send iMessages to other iPhone users, but I'm 0 for 2 with androids.

HMAqcmgr,


This is quite the message mystery. I truly appreciate all the troubleshooting that you have done thus far. It’s a little unclear, so I do regret asking this question again. Is the problem only with texting your wife who has an Android or any Android user? What make & model phone did your wife used to have? Is she having trouble receiving texts from others or just yourself?

She had a galaxy 5 with sprint, then had a cheap smart phone from cricket for the last few months until my contract ended and we started a plan together.  She receives messages from everyone, the problem is with my phone only.  I tried texting a coworker that has a Galaxy 6 today and had the same issue.

In settings > messages, is "send as sms" on?

If it is not, turn on, delete the old thread, reboot and try texting her again.

If it is on already, have a Verizon rep check to see if there are any messaging features blocked on your line.
