Intermittent SMS sending failure

[Rudolphe]

Hello,

I'm on Verizon and spend the majority of my time in the downtown Philadelphia area. My SMS randomly fails to send messages. Verizon blamed it on the "block premium messaging" option I had enabled on my line. I've disabled this option and am still having the issue. Sometimes the message will send after 2 or 3 retries, sometimes I have to cycle airplane mode to get the messages to send. I didn't have this problem with my Galaxy Nexus and there's 3 other devices on my account that don't have this issue...

Is anyone else having problems sending text messages at times? If so, have you come up with a solution?

I'm trying not to return this phone because I love it otherwise, but this issue is becoming too much as SMS is one of my primary means of communication.

I had the phone 3 days then started having problems where it would not send any text. It would just hang or say failure. Verizon tech support did a few things that didnt work. Next day advance tech person called me and said my old bionic was still accessing VZ network thru the wifi. I turned it off and still. What did it was resetting the phone and now all is back to normal . So if this is you, kill old phone and reset the S4 and you should be good. Let me know and good luck.
