  Texts not going through to Non-Verizon carriers
  For the past few days some of my messages have not been going through to non-Verizon carriers. The messages will sometimes go through fine, sometimes take anywhere from a few minutes to hours or even days to get through, and sometimes not deliver at all. It's very frustrating! This happened for a few weeks last March, but it seemed to stop and now it's happening again. Has this been happening to anyone else?

  This has been happening to me for the past few days. I have no clue whats going on and it's driving me crazy.. I've tried reprogramming my phone, but that hasn't helped at all

  Try doing a soft reset on your phone by powering the phone off and removing and replacing the battery. Once the phone is powered back on, dial *228 send and option 1. Once the programming is complete, dial your own number area code first, and then end the call.

  I am having a similar problem. Mine started when I switched to the unlimited texts plan. I never had a missed text and now I have some that don't reach me for days. It is very very very aggravating. I find that when I have friends who reply or send from their home computers is when most of my texts either are not delivered or I am not receiving them. It is hit or miss and not daily. But when I get three texts from 3 day before it is a little late to reply.
  Today alone I know I never got two of the messages that were sent to me. It just so happened I talked to the person and was informed of not getting them when I got two other texts from the same person earlier in the day. I would really like this problem addressed.

  I've had similar problems with my phone. it can recieve texts but won't send them at all. I have tried the soft reset, reprogramming, and calling myself... I have even tried taking the battery out while the phone is still on. so far nothing has worked... I wish I knew how to fix this problem but I have tried everything that everyone has told me...
