Unable to send texts to none iPhone users with my iPhone 6

I am unable to send or recieve text messages from non iphone contacts of mine. I've looked under settings and my SMS option is on.

SMS messages are sent through AT&T, since you have SMS enabled check another setting.
Settings>iMessages>Send & receive
Make sure your phone number is listed, not just your Apple ID.
If your phone number is listed, try doing this:
Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
(This would delete any saved Wi-Fi passwords but no other data)
If that doesn't work, you'll need to contact AT&T

Iphone won't send texts to non-iphone users

I woke up this morning and my iphone 4s will no longer send texts to non-iphone users. I checked my SMS settings and they are fine. I reset my network settings. I restarted my phone. Nothing is working. I don't know how to fix this. I can send imessages just fine.

I checked my SMS settings and they are fine.
The ONLY SMS settings is: Settings > Messages > Sends as SMS > ON. Is that what you mean?
Did you contact your carrier to confirm that SMS is still provisioned in your account?

What's the difference between SMS/MMS and iMessage?
SMS/MMS lets you send text messages and photos to other cellular phones or devices. iMessage lets you send text messages and photos to another iOS device over Wi-Fi, without worrying about text-messaging charges (cellular data charges may apply).
What do I need to use SMS/MMS and iMessage?
Here's what you need to use SMS/MMS and iMessage:
SMS/MMS: A text-messaging plan. Contact your carrier for more information.
iMessage: An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later.

http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS5185
You can't send SMS or text messages to a non-Apple phone (such as an Android, Windows, or BlackBerry phone), because the messages are sent as iMessage
This can happen if you used iMessage on your iPhone and then transferred your SIM card or phone number to a non-Apple phone. If you didn't turn off or deactivate iMessage before switching to a non-Apple phone, other iOS devices will still try to use iMessage to send text messages to your phone number. Follow the appropriate steps below to resolve the issue. Likewise, if you can't send someone a text who used to have an iPhone, having them follow these steps should resolve the issue.
If you still have your iPhone
Put the SIM card you transferred from your iPhone back into your iPhone.
Make sure that you're connected to a cellular data network (such as 3G or LTE).
Tap Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off.
If you don't have your iPhone or if you can't turn off iMessage
Use the deregister iMessage webpage. For more information, see Deregister iMessage: Frequently Asked Questions.These steps won't deregister your phone number with iMessage

Why can't I send texts to non iPhones?

Just started today. I can send texts to iPhones, but to no one else in my contact list. What causes this and how do I fix it?

There are too many to list here and as everyone I text to has an iOS device I've never bothered to download one. Two of my teenaged grandchildren do use one of the free ones but I don't know which.
I suggest you do a search for SMS in the App Store and pick out a few to see if they would suit your requirements.
You could also do a Google type of search for 'iPad SMS' and get a list.
Be sure to read the reviews before picking one.

My phone will not send texts to non-iPhone users and it will only send texts to other iPhone users if iMessage is turned on, otherwise it doesn't send texts at all. How do I fix this?

Help? Have any of you have this problem? How did you remedy it? Thanks in advance!

I'm on hold with them right now, I'm pretty sure that's the problem I just wanted to see if there could be any other reason. Covering all my bases, as it were. <3

I can't send pictures to non iPhone users since the iOS 7 update

Can't send texts to other iphones

I have an iPhone 5 that has been updated to ios7. All of a sudden I am unable to send texts to other iPhone users. When I type my text and hit send it say's "sending" but never sends. Now, I have to tap on my message and an option comes up that say's, "send as text message." HELP!!! I have not had this problem until today. My husband does not have an iPhone and I am able to send him texts without having to go through the above scenario. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I tried shutting my phone down and restarting but that didn't solve the problem. Thank you!!!

imessage will send as a SMS (text) when imessage is not available.
that could mean that you or the receiptant has a weak wifi/cellular data signal, or the receiptant doesn't have imessage turned on.
