Android Central Question

I have many friends who don't use Android smartphones and whenever I text them my messages often times don't send. After I received the "failed to send. Tap to try again" on my text and I tap it the text goes through. This inconvenience although may seem small becomes very frustrating. I dont know how to fix this issue
 
The "issue" depends on the phones they're using. iMessage doesn't work well with SMS, so if they're using iPhones, they'll have to complain to Apple (although with apple being one of the wealthiest companies in the world right now, I don't think they'll care.) You can't fix the issue, Apple has to fix it by converting over the the standard that the rest of the industry uses.
 
Welcome to Android Central! It could also be an issue with your network. Who's your carrier, and how's the cell signal when this happens?
