Texting

I am in an area with no cellular service. I do have Wi-Fi though. My phone does all normal things on the Wi-Fi except for this: I am able to text with other iPhone users, but my texts to androids are not delivered

iPhone X, iOS 16

SMS/MMS (not iMessages, which can use cellular data or WiFi connections) must use cellular data networks with texting plan.

Correct, SMS/MMS do not work using a Wifi network.

See this support article about that:--> What is the difference between iMessage and SMS/MMS?

So you are saying I can’t send SMS texts with my Wi-Fi. They can only be sent over cellular connection. Is that correct?
