Can you update the question to include the specific SMS permission the user granted? – Tetany

Answer 1

Found the root cause.

When SIM card is inactive then device may throw the Security exception.

Solution: Just replace with working SIM card.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

You have to check the airplane mode status and mobile network status before trying to send sms.

Skip send sms call and show error message if airplane mode is enable or signal strength is zero.

Check airplane mode:

public static boolean isAirplaneModeOn(Context context) {
       return Settings.System.getInt(context.getContentResolver(),
                Settings.Global.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON, 0) != 0;
}

check mobile network

@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.P)
public static boolean isNoSignalStrength(Context context) {
    TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Service.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
    return telephonyManager.getSignalStrength().getLevel() == 0;
}

Is this a common issue with Samsung devices? The URL you provided is not currently working. – Grozny

Yes, Samsung updated os code for android 11 or higher. Other OEM devices don't throw any exception on send sms failure due to network strength. I am not sure why url is not working but you can try above code to fix the problem. – Putative
