You can’t send MMS to Android users because switching carriers caused your MMS settings to break. MMS requires carrier settings, APN, and correct provisioning — not iMessage.

To fix it:

  1. Turn on MMS + Send as SMS
  2. Restart iPhone
  3. Update carrier settings
  4. Reset APN to default
  5. Reinsert SIM / reinstall eSIM
  6. Reset network settings
  7. Ask carrier to enable MMS on your line

After this, MMS to Android will work again.
