Cant send texts after changing sim card

I changed from Verizon to T- Mobile. I kept my Verizon Galaxy S4 and had a T Mobile sim card installed. All is ok Except the phone will no longer allow me to send texts unless I send them grouped. I can receive individulal texts but cannot send or reply to them. PLEASE ANYONE HELP!!!

Re: Cant send texts after changing sim card

Have you tried restarting the phone? I had a similar issue on a Nexus 5 and a reboot fixed it.

Alternatively, you may want to double check your APN settings are the correct ones for T-Mobile (https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-5881)

APN & data settings
To set the Access Point Name (APN) and turn on data settings, follow these steps:

APN Settings
From any Home screen, tap the Menu key.
Tap Settings.
Tap the Connections tab.
Under Network connections, tap More networks.
Tap Mobile networks.
Tap Access Point Names.
To reset your APN, tap the Menu key and then tap Reset to default.
If available, tap the T-Mobile US LTE APN (the bullet point fills with green).
To verify your APN, tap T-Mobile US LTE with the bullet point filled with green.
Verify and update the following settings for the Data APN:
