Having similar problem with a Virgin SIM. Tried various APN settings as recommended in the forums without success. Read in another thread that older SIMs may not be compatible. I have requested a new SIM. Will report back when I receive it.

Replacement SIM arrived today and voila, sends text messages with the default virgin APN settings. Not sure how old the SIM was but I would guess about 8 years old.

Yes, it is not surprising but I could find very little information about this subject when I had the problem sending messages. Most information refers to APN settings. It might be a point worth adding to the pinned Common Problems/Questions/FAQ post.
