Hello Rodonisle,
To confirm, do you have Text Message Forwarding enabled on your Mac? If not, you won't be able to send SMS messages from your Mac. Let's work on checking some settings to set this up. Here's how:
1. Make sure that you're signed in to iMessage with the same Apple ID on each device:
• iPhone or iPad: Check the Apple ID shown in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
• Mac: Open the Messages app, choose Messages > Settings (or Preferences), then click iMessage. Check the Apple ID shown.
2. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding.
If you don't see Text Message Forwarding, go to Settings > Messages. Turn off iMessage, then turn it back on. Tap Send & Receive, tap Use Your Apple ID for iMessage, then sign in with the same Apple ID used on your other devices.
3. Choose which devices can send and receive text messages from your iPhone:
4. If you choose a device that isn't using two-factor authentication for your Apple ID, a verification code appears on each of your other devices: enter that code on your iPhone.
This information is from Forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your Mac or iPad.
Best regards.
