I am having problems sending text messages. I get this message- "message send failed. Network problems." This happens when I try to text certain numbers. For other numbers I am able to send texts but when my friends text me back I do not get the text message yet they tell me the next day they did text me back.
This has been going on for 2 weeks on and off now. I called Verizon tech support but they said there was nothing they could do except wait it out. They said nothing was wrong with my phone because they checked and it was fine. My area has the best service around and I have full bars of service. Anyone have this same problem? How do I fix this? This happened last night and it is happening now again tonight. Starts anywhere from 8 pm to 11 pm and goes on till at least 7am. Yet they checked my phone and I am not blocked or restricted from texting after a certain time.
Things I have already tried include turning off my phone and removing the battery for 30 seconds. I have tried *228 to have my phone reset and this did no difference. I even deleted all text messages from my phone and cleared all my recent phone calls but this did not help. I heard of other users who have had similar problems before but no fix was found.

The people you text when you get these error messages, do you get them EVERY time you text them? Because that is the message you get when you have been blocked by someone and try to text them.
Sometimes the network just completely goes out in an area. It's happened to my area plenty of times, and I cannot do anything with my phone for hours, and neither can anyone else in my town with Verizon. In that case, you just have to wait it out, nothing really helps.

I understand how important it is to be able to send and receive text messages. Are you still having this issue? We can try resetting your text messaging on your account to further test the issue. If you still need assistance, can you send me a PM with your name and number?

This is probably the 3rd time it has happened to me. I have never heard of anyone else ever having a problem texting. This is obviously a Verizon issue. Most reliable Network my a$$. Verizon is by far the most expensive, and provides limited data, sometimes sporadic calls, now problems texting... all for the HIGHEST price around?!! What is wrong with this situation?
