how to unlock short message on samsung galaxy s6

[AC Question]

I blocked the short message by accident on my galaxy S6 Active. How do I change that. I have tried to find the applications manager that I have seen in other forums but can't find it, I don't think it is in the same place since the updates. Please help and thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forums. Not sure what 'short message' is...SMS? Anyhow, apps manager is in Settings, Apps, Apps Manager if you have Nougat.

When I tried to text a short message to a 5 digit number a message popped up that said "Message service would like to send a message to 26739, Allow? This may result in charges"

I somehow blocked this service. I have seen in other sites how to unblock by going through Applications manager and then permissions, example:
Go to Settings>
Application manager>
scroll over to All >
scroll down to messaging>
scroll down to permissions>
make your selection. Allow all, ask, or do not allow.

I can't find this section on my Samsung Galaxy S6 Active, I could before the updates but not now.

Thanks much for the clarification and screenshot. Like your username I'll ask to have the thread moved to a forum as I don't have that phone.

Thank you!

Welcome to the forums! You need to change the Premium SMS settings. See if these instructions work for you.

Oh man, those Samsung links use to give problems here. Try this.

Settings - applications - three dots top right - special access - use premium SMS service - message service and choose between the three options.
