I bought the device used about two months ago. Activated just fine.
running kitkat
Turns out that I cannot text with anyone who uses AT&T or is carried on Sprint (credo).
I have spoken with tech and it has been escalated with no resolution.
Spent hours at the store itself with no fix.
I tried several apps - verizon's built in. messages. hangouts/message from google. textra.
Done reboot.
Turned off and battery out for extended time.
Wiped it clean and reset.
Wiped it clean and reset again.
Turned off, disabled or uninstalled all other texting apps.
Only use Textra now.
Verizon support indicates that there is an issue with the other carriers - the messages are being sent but not received by them. But, that does not explain why I don't receive from them as well.
Does anyone have any suggestions or fixes?
Thanks.
