Hello! I see that after installing the Reach app, you’re unable to send regular text messages from your device. Let’s figure this out together.
To get started, could you let me know: - What messaging app were you using before installing Reach? - Now that Reach is installed, is Reach set as your default SMS app, or are you still using your original messaging app? - Are you getting any error messages when you try to send a regular text message?
Meanwhile, here are some initial steps we can take to troubleshoot:
1. Check Default Messaging App: Sometimes after installing a new messaging app like Reach, it may become the default SMS app, which can interfere with your original app’s ability to send texts. On Windows devices running WebKit (likely a PC or tablet), check your default app settings to see if Reach has been set as default for SMS. If so, switch it back to your original messaging app or continue using Reach for messaging.
2. Force Sending as MMS (if applicable): In some messaging apps, enabling "Force Messages to be sent as MMS" helps when SMS fails to send. Though this step is commonly for Android, let me know if Reach has specific messaging settings that mention this option.
3. Restart Your Device: A simple restart can refresh your network and app settings, which might resolve the messaging block.
4. Check if Your Number is Blocked by Reach: Reach’s system could be blocking outgoing messages unintentionally if there’s a configuration overlap. Are you able to send messages using Reach itself? If yes, this may indicate a conflict between apps.
If you have already tried some of these, or if the problem persists despite these checks, please provide more details so I can guide you further.
Are you primarily using Reach to send business texts, or do you want your regular SMS app fully functional alongside Reach? This will help customize next steps.
