I compose a message and paste my contact into the address (contact's cell phone #) then press the send icon and it just sits there saying "sending." By a prearranged process the recipient reports to me via email on my computer the she never got it.
Why can I not send text messages from my Alcatel tracfone?

Welcome to Android Central! Are you able to send and receive texts involving other contacts? Are you able to make and receive calls? Is the message you're sending a simple text message, or are you attaching a photo or other file to it?
I am able to send photos by clicking the share icon, they get sent. If I add a text message the photo will go but not the text. Plain text messages; the phone tells me "sending," then "message sent," but the recipient does not receive it. I've tried with several recipients. The above always happens.
