I have text message forwarding on for my iPad, MacBook Pro and an old iPhone 7 I’m using now as an iPT pretty much. Now I’m able to receive and respond to SMS on every device BUT the iPhone 7. I can see the SMS that is coming in, but when I reply back, it doesn’t go through.. and it’s only that device.

I have tried all of the troubleshooting steps. Signing out of iMessage, signing back in, making sure both my phone number & email are checked, etc.

Any idea why the iP7 is the only device that I can’t send a regular SMS text to, but the Mac and iPad I can with no issues? Is it because the iP7 is supposed to be a “phone”?
