imessage not sending texts to Android users

my imessage on iphone 12 will not send or receive texts from android users. I have tried all the troubleshooting things- resetting the network settings, etc. Any ideas? This started 3 days ago.

I am a Verizon user.

As Idris points out, SMS text messages are a Carrier-specific service. Your phone number may not be adequately provisioned.


If you are talking about iMessages, that is an Apple-specific service that only works between iPhones.
