Texts not getting through from iPhone to old mobile?

I'm with Tesco mobile and he never receives texts from my iPhone 4S.

Is this because the Messages App on the phone sends them via wifi or data rather than SMS?

If so, is there an App that would send texts via SMS that would get to his phone?

Many thanks.

D.

If you use iMessage, check that your settings under Messages and make sure 'Send as SMS' is switched on.

Thanks.

The SMS option wasn't set on my phone, as it happens.

Hopefully, it works now.

Thanks again.
