Do you have sms turned on inside the messaging app?

It sounds like an actual call into your carrier may be in order. It may be some provisioning on the back end is wrong. I had a customer who bought a moto g to replace a broken screened phone and his old phone had working data, but the new SIM card would not pick up data in the new phone. We called in and got tech support and it turned out there were conflicting data provision codes on the back end of the account. It shouldn't have been working on the old phone but it was, and once he cleared the conflict data kicked in on the new phone.

Sounds like a similar situation. iMessage would go through because it uses data and wifi but sms is different.
