For the past few days now im unable to send txt messages from my phone to people and im not able to call certain people in my contact. But i can receive text messages from them and i can receive my facebook notifications. i have all my bars but when i go to my messages it just shows 1x. my inbox shows a red x but my friend can reply to my text message.

Is your data connection disabled?  Have you dialed *228, option 1 to reprogram the phone to the Verizon Wireless network?
