Hi @Drew, it appears that your iMessage is currently switched on.

Please switch it off by going to Settings > Messages > IMessage.

Let us know how it goes.

I want to be able to send iMessages when wifi is available.  Why turn it off?  (It's always been on).

You need to switch it off for the text message to work, @Drew.
