Hi @Voddyobie
Have you checked your local network for issues https://ee.co.uk/help/service-status
It maybe you're in a low signal area.
Thanks

WhatsApp is just an internet app which uses a data connection - that can either be WiFi or mobile data.
If you're able to use WA outside with no WiFi, it follows that you're using EE's mobile network. What's the problem you're having with sending text messages?
