After upgrading to Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow), I can't send or receive SMS texts.

I'm on a Galaxy S6 on Verizon. I tried rebooting in Safe Mode, disabling Google Hangouts, uninstalling Mighty Text, with no change in status. I used Samsung Messages, Google Messenger, all with no results. I don't have permission to edit my Access Point Names.

Help?

I had the same problem. I fixed it by doing this:

Go to Settings -> Privacy and Safety -> App permissions -> SMS

Turn off the Messages app and turn it back on.

  • Unfortunately I had to factory reset my phone in the meantime, so have been unable to check if the above worked! Shoot.
