Why is my oppo phone not sending messages?

However, the messages are received & replied to?!!? Also I have symbols I don't understand at the top of my screen - VoLTE and VoWiFi - that my husband doesn't have on his Oppo so may be causing my issues?!?

Short summary:

  1. Turn off your phone.
  2. Eject and re-insert the SIM card.
  3. Turn your phone back on.
  4. Try sending a text message to a different number to see if the issue is resolved.

Hello, thank you for using Howly. I’ll be happy to help you out! May I ask your name?

Nice to meet you, *****!
What troubleshooting have you done so far?

Customer Replay

I have turned my phone right off and restarted it. I've tried to remove the VoLTE & phone symbol but had no luck. I have on 100% battery & wifi & data connection so am stumped

Can you please specify both the brand and the model of your phone?

Sure, let me know then please
Turn the phone off before ejecting the SIM card

Customer Replay

Removed SIM & re-inserted it then sent text and it seems to be working.

Great to hear, *****!

Customer Replay

What I don't understand is why would I be able to text to some and not others if it was the SIM?

The problem could be with SIM card positioning in the slot. So it was connected to the phone not in proper way

Customer Replay

OK thanks 👍
