Contact your cellular provider as they may have a Carrier update to push to your device. MMS is a carrier messaging feature that they provision to your SIM and they issue carrier updates to make changes and also for compatibility when using a new iOS version.


Also review the information here in case there is a Carrier Update that is waiting to be installed.

Manually update carrier settings on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


SMS and MMS are carrier features, go settle it up with them.

If you have iMessage then it's Apple.
