I recently flashed the Hong Kong marshmallow 6.0.1 ROM onto a Chinese SM-A8000 because the stock Chinese ROM that came with the phone didn't have any Google services on it. The ROM installed without any problems, but I didn't have a SIM to test it right after it installation was finished. When I eventually got a SIM to use in the phone, I realized that the phone was able to receive SMS but i wasn't able to reply. I looked around in the messages app setting but I couldn't find anything that was blocking the phone from carrying out the task. I also installed Google messenger and the problem still persists.

Is there anything I can do to solve this issue? Is it something with the ROM?

The country I'm using the phone in is Jamaica and the network is Flow.
