Re: Encrypted messages : ..... they never respond back to me
If your friends are using Android devices, you may need cellular data turned on for the Messages app.
We don't know which hardware model or software version you are using in order to help. You could try checking your settings to make sure your details are correct.
Or: Maybe Apple support's article (link below) can help you:
For Mac: See what to do: If you can’t send or receive messages using Messages on Mac - Apple Support
or
For iPhone / iPad: If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
