Texts not sending

[hydroguy]

I know this question has been asked before, but I have not seen an answer to it. My phone is the Samsung Galaxy S7. I am using the Verizon Message+ App. version 6.7.7.  I can receive texts, but I can't send. I see the notification that the text message is Sending, but I do not get it to show Sent. Any help would be appreciated.

hydroguy, I appreciate the feedback on your Verizon Messages texting concern and want to help get this resolved for you as soon as possible. I know that being able to send text messages is a fundamental feature you need and I don't want them stuck in sending status either.

Do you recall if this issue started after a recent software update or after updating the Verizon Messages app?

Please reference the link attached on how to Force Stop and Clear Data on the Verizon Messages app. Just in case the app isn't functioning properly, this will help clear any issues. Reset App - Samsung Galaxy S7 / S7 edge | Verizon Wireless

This is clearly happening to a substantially large amount of customers from all over the US - shouldn't someone be looking into why Verzon users (specifically Android users who cannot change how the text is sent) cannot send or receive texts as a whole?

Does this seem like a large scale outage?  I can't find any info/messages concerning it...

I guess this is a nationwide problem, I haven't been able to receive or send all morning

I have been experiencing a problem of not being able to complete my text to my husband's phone.  Messages tell me my text was sent, but my husband does not receive.  He can text me and I receive in about 15 minutes.  We both have IPhones 7.

Also, I cannot connect with a phone call to him.  His phone rings once and the auto message immediately says to leave a voice mail.  I do leave a message but he does not receive the voice mail from me.  

This just started a couple of days ago.  He and I both can connect by text and phone call to our other contacts.  I went to ITunes and synced both phones but it did not matter.  I turned off a third party app for malware, but that made no difference.  I also rebooted both phones.  Did not help.
