Sending SMS does not work after update to 4.3 on Samsung Galaxy S9

Immediately after update from 4.2 to 4.3 sending text messages stopped working. I tried to send text message many times and it never worked after the update. I cannot even respond to text messages that I receive. (Receiving text messages works fine). I have no issues with calling.

This is exactly the same problem as I reported for /e/OS v. 4.0. Here: #9454 The problem was not solved in 4.1.1 and was solved in 4.2. Now, in 4.3, the same problem reappeared.

The history of this problem with sending SMS on Samsung Galaxy S9:

  • /e/OS v. 3.7 and older: no problem

  • /e/OS v. 4.0: could not send SMS

  • /e/OS v. 4.1.1: could not send SMS

  • /e/OS v. 4.2: problem solved (thank you!)

  • /e/OS v. 4.3: cannot send SMS again

My device:

  • /e/OS version: 4.3-a15-20290917677554-official-starlte
  • upgraded from 4.2-a15
  • Device model: Samsug Galaxy S9 (SM-G960F)

The problem was described in gitlab here: Cannot send SMS after update to 4.3 on Samsung Galaxy S9 (#9706) · Issues · e / Backlog · GitLab

I have the same issue in /e/OS 4.3-a15-20260922678350-community-beyond0lte (on a Samsung Galaxy S10e).
I don’t send SMS very often, so I don’t know when it broke, but now I cannot send SMS anymore. I tried with the /e/OS Messages app and with a Messages app I downloaded from F-Droid.
