I've looked at sms settings and everything is as it should be. Any help would be great thank you.
How do you have it set up in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive? You might try unchecking your email and check only your phone number in "You can be reached by iMessage at". And only check your number in "Start New Conversations From". This us how mine is set up. I've had no problems.
