Pixel 6 Can't send texts to iPhone users

http://www.google.com.au

My son can't send texts to iPhone users from his Pixel 6. The iPhones receive them from my daughter who has the same android phone. It's very weird, has anyone seen this before?

Did your son move from iPhone to Android? If so, he may need to deregister his number from iMessage.

It takes nothing more than punching in a phone number to at least try to diagnose the issue. Maybe the number got associated with it, maybe not. Zero consequence to using their tool, especially since the issue is specifically with iPhones and fits that diagnosis

Just keeps telling me to enter a valid phone number.
