Schneiderl, we want to make sure the text messages are working the way it should. We'd like to gather some information to help get started. What is the make and model phone you're using? Also, which text messaging app are you using on the phone (Messages, Verizon Messages)?

Go into the message settings and make sure auto retrieve mms while roaming is selected.  You may be roaming for whatever reason hope this helps
