Same issue here.  Messages showing up a day or more late.  Started roughly June 13th, also somewhere in that time frame got an update to the Message+ app on the phone.  May or may not be related, but if this continues I'm bailing for T-Mobile in a heartbeat.  This happened a few years ago when VZW started using a new cloud based spam filter, finally got that issue taken care of and here we are again.  Stop wrecking services that people have come to rely on!

RCG1520, we want to make sure your text messages are working without issue. If your matter is only present in the Message+ app and not the native text messaging app to the phone, please launch the app and tap on the top left menu. Then, tap on Get Help and report a bug or you can send an email to our app developer team about the issue at verizonmessages@verizonwireless.com. Be sure to indicate your phone make and model and app version.

I have the same issue with the native text messaging app to the phone,

since the last weekend, when I try to send a message from my Gmail account to my cellphone using <myPhoneNumber>@vtext.com or <myPhoneNumber>@vzwpix.com it bounces back, I never had a problem till now.

We are having the same issue, all our employees who are verizon users that get notifications to their cell phone from us via email to  [email address removed per the Verizon Terms of Service] are no longer receiving messages.

On the back end, we see this error message coming in:

I saw another thread on this issue and tested myself.  I found that when sending the email for texting to my phone to vtext.com or vzwpix.com from my Comcast mail account it works fine.  But when using my Gmail account (mobile app or Google web site) it fails or is extremely delayed. This is a Google mail server to Verizon mail server issue.

...Just another VZW customer...trying to offer some assistance...

I am having the same problem as described by SpankyMcFarland  

Gmail will not send to vtext.com. Is there a possible problem with using a VPN? I am getting different error messages. Two pasted below.
