Hello @tonja500,
This is a good question! I’d be more than happy to assist you with your text issue!
This error indicates the person you are messaging does not have Advanced Messaging turned on. You can turn this feature off by going into the Messages app > select the 3 dots in the top right corner > Settings > Advanced Messaging > Off.
I hope you found this helpful! Have a great rest of your day!

It just means that person does not have an AT&T Advanced Messaging compatible phone or they're with another carrier. Advanced Messaging only works between qualified customers with phones that have it.
Newer Android devices such as Galaxy S6 and newer, LG G4 and newer.
