Why can't I send text message on my new Galaxy S5?

[mhgamer890]

can't send text message on my new galaxy s5 I have 3 bars of 4G LTE on AT&T

I just switched to AT&T and can not send a text even with 3 bars of signal (4G LTE). I had the same issue with the S4, but on verizon network.

I can have my galaxy note 4 next to this phone and send text after text. What do i do?

SMS text messaging doesn't use data. Check your settings: Go to phone settings —> more… —>mobile networks —>Access Point Names

From what I am seeing, for AT&T your setting should be (but check with AT&T to make sure. I am on T-Mobile):
