Why can't I send text messages?

[AC Question]

I cant send text messages only group.

I just got a Samsung galaxy 4 and I am trying to send messages but it does not let me unless I send them as a group. What can I do to fix this?

Welcome to Android Central!

Is the phone for your carrier specific or is it an unlocked version? You may need to put in your carriers APN settings.

Did you previously have an iPhone? If so, have you disabled iMessage?
