Why are my text messages taking so long to send?

[AC Question]

After I hit send when I draft a text message using the Samsung messaging app, the little circle goes around and around for about 15 seconds before it sends the text!

Have you tried using a different messaging app like ChompSMS or Textra? Try that firs to make sure it is not the service that is the issue.
