Text messages not showing in message field on some SMS apps

A

AC Question

I have a Blu Life XL running 5.1.1

I installed Google messenger and when I try to send a SMS it won't show in the chat area, nor does the person I send it to receives it. I can receive messages with no problem. When I send a pic, that will show in the chat field, but will not send. I can't get pics through MMS.

I have the same problem with Go SMSPro as well.

I just want a very customizable sms app that has the dual SIM feature. I can't seem to find one that works right.

I switched to textra, I can send and receive SMS, and MMS with no issue. The problem with Textra is slows down after a while. Even though I rebooting the phone, it'll still slow down, and eventually stops working.

I have tried changing the date, and that didn't work. Plus I've been having this issue before daylight savings.

I'm just at the end of my rope with SMS apps.
