Why can't I send or receive text messages?

[AC Question]

My droid mini just stopped letting me send or receive text messages, the message just says sending. It won't allow me to open Google Play or any widget I installed on my phone. My gmail won't sync but other apps such as Facebook & Pinterest will open but also aren't syncing. I have service and wifi, I am able to make and receive calls and today at Verizon they installed a new simcard but it did not help. This just began happening two days ago. I turned my phone off and back on as well as did a forced restart. Help!
