You can try installing the app Verizon Messages from the Play Store.

I'm not sure for the D3, but for a lot of VZW phones, installing this and running it clears up text/MMS issues. Generally you can then uninstall the app and things are fine.

If that doesn't fix it, try calling Verizon tech support and see if they can check your account to see if there is something that they can do on their end to reset your messaging. I've had that happen to me with an old phone a long time ago.

I had this issue and it was resolved by re-programming my phone. To do so dial *228 and then press 1 (How to Program a Verizon Cell Phone or Update Roaming on a Verizon Cell Phone | eHow.com). You should be good after that
