How do I fix 'message blocking turned on' for non-iPhone texts on iPhone 17e with T-mobile?

Since switching from Verizon Wireless to T-mobile and upgrading from an iPhone SE to a 17e, I am having messages not being delivered because of “message blocking turned on “. It seems to be only affecting text messages to other than iPhone devices and usually if it involves a photo. I‘ve tried lots of settings options in the messaging app to no avail. I guess I could go into the T-mobile store and ask, but it seems like something I should be able to fix on my own. Thanks

"Free Msg: Unable to send message - Message blocking is active"  usually means no SMS access for the current cellular plan. Contact your carrier.
