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.

Is this a new issue? Because there's 4 phones on my account and only this one has that problem.

I came to this forum looking for an answer to your (our) exact problem.

I am also on Verizon. I have noticed that all of my messages are being sent as MMS, not SMS. Anyone know how to fix that?
