International texting not going through...

I am on the simple plan, and haven’t been able to send international texts to the UK for months. I cannot figure out what is causing the problem. I am on the iPhone 6s. Does anybody know how to fix this problem?

    My plan allows unlimited texting to Ukraine but I have not been able to get a text out. My friend does have an I Phone. Could that be the problem??

    Hey there! Sorry to hear you are having troubles messing your friends across the pond 😥 Has this always been the case or did it work in the past? I only ask as there are specific featured that can be added to your account (if you chose to add them) that block stateside international services. What specific error are you getting when trying to send an SMS to your friends? Are you sending the SMS to a contact you have saved in your phone? If so, can you try entering their number manually and sending that way? Also, are your friends using iPhones?
