In July 2018, I had to reset my phone. I was locked out, thanks to an app that was suppose to protect me from others getting in!! Anyway, ever since the reset when I click on a person to start a text message too I have to wait and wait for it to Check Server. And it is almost every time now. This is a huge inconvenience and aggravation. I am seeing others with this same issue so obviously Verizon needs to be looking into it. Has a fix been made yet? My phone is up to date on all updates.
