New A26 default google messaging app.

I cannot send texts out unless the person has messaged me first.

This is even for contacts that I used to message before I got the new phone.

Hi,
Troubleshooting Steps:

Restart your phone: A simple restart can resolve many temporary glitches. 

Check your signal: Ensure you have a good cellular signal. 

Clear the messaging app's cache and data: Go to Settings > Apps > Messages > Storage and tap "Clear Cache" and "Clear Data". 

Reset network settings: Go to Settings > General Management > Reset > Reset Network Settings. 

Verify the message center number: In your messaging app, go to Settings > More settings > Text messages > Message center and enter the correct number for your carrier. 

Check for software updates: Go to Settings > Software update > Download and install. 

Check for blocked contacts: In the Phone app, go to Settings > Block numbers and make sure the contact you're having trouble with is not blocked. 

Consider RCS: If you're using RCS, try toggling it off and on, or switching to SMS only. 

Contact your carrier: If the problem persists, contact your mobile carrier to check for any network issues or restrictions on your account.
