what service do I need to text from my phone?

I just got the samsung galaxy s6 active. However it is not letting my send or receive text messages. Every time I try to send one it says I don't have a signal for mobile devices. What kind of service do I need to be able to text?

A cellphone account with a cellphone carrier. Which one depends on the country you live in, and which model S6 Active you have.

Mms service can be configured separately from voice and data. If you have a cell phone plan, call your provider and have them make sure that your account is set up correctly.
