I've been having a similar issue. There are many times where in the middle of a text conversation, certain texts will not go through. they just hang there with that little spinning circle, and then after 3 minutes or so they will prompt me that they didn't go through. strangely they will go through within a couple of seconds when I try to resend them. also, most of the time they keep any following intermittent texts to also not go through until that first "sending" text resolves, while other times the newer texts will go through even though the other one is still "sending" and fails. this is an EXTREMELY annoying issue as sometimes responses in these conversations are time sensitive and can be troublesome when they don't go through right away. there is no specific time that this issue occurs, nor to any specific contact, unless you want to say it is limited to specifically EVERY contact I have. I've also had the rare occurrence last week of not receiving a text until 1:27am, when it was originally sent to me around 4pm. this caused me to miss out on a work opportunity and over $300 in earnings, which would have helped pay for Verizon's ridiculously high phone bill for the month... I live in Queens, NY zip code 11103, and have a Samsung Galaxy SIII.
I've also noticed that my phone will often only show one or 2 bars of signal IN THE MIDDLE OF NYC(!!!) when on 4G-LTE, but when it sometimes switches to 3G, it consistently holds 4-5 bars of signal, making it a much smoother and faster experience than 4G-LTE. WHY IS THAT????? and can I somehow keep it on 3G so I don't have to deal with the inconsistency and slowdown of 4G (as ridiculous as that statement sounds)?
