Cannot send texts on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in 713 and surrounding area codes (or anywhere)  Any ideas?

Cannot send texts on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in 713 and surrounding area codes (or anywhere that I know of).  Is anyone else familiar with this issue.  I receive texts just fine.  I have tried an alternate texting app and rebooting the phone and I have checked my account online to make sure now safeguards have blocked texting or anything else.
It just keeps trying to send for a while and then comes back failed.  Everytime any number I try.  But I can receive texts.
Thanks in advance for any ideas :/

    Hi EmotionOrDie,
The Galaxy Note 3 is a fantastic device! I'm sure you're eager to use the device to the fullest of its abilities. Has this been an issue since you first received the device? Just to ensure that were on the same page, the 713 area code is the Houston, TX area?
I would suggest clear all text threads that are currently on the phone. Once the text threads have removed head into Settings > Apps > Manage Apps > All > Messaging > Clear Data then test.

  • Trouble Sending Text Messages On Samsung Galaxy Note 4

    I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and I have begun to notice, over the past several days, that text messages I send do not go through.  It works fine for most of the day, but there is a brief period where I am not able to send any at all.  I end up having to use a third party text messaging service in order to send messages.  Do the AT&T towers in my area get over loaded or something?

    Hello there @calliekuczek
    Sorry to hear you’re having issues with sending texts; I’d be glad to help you out.
    If you could please send me a private message including your:
    Full name
    Wireless number
    Best time to reach you and alternate contact number if available
    We will reach out to you within 2 business days
    Thank you,

  • Cannot send an MMS with Samsung Galaxy III

    Highly frustrating.
    I have turned on mobile data, turned on wi-fi, restarted it and it still doesn't want to send. The send circle just keeps going around and around, for hours! I have 2GB worth of data so it shouldn't be a problem. Can anyone tell me how to make it work because I really have no desire to drive up to Verizon, don't have the time. The phone is less than a week old. >.<

    No luck..>.<
    Perhaps I was doing it wrong. I took out the battery and held down the power button for 10 seconds. Then figuring I read it wrong, I took out the battery, let it sit for 30 seconds, put it back in and held the power button. Just powered on like usual. I really want to be able to send picture messages...>.<

    If you have enough room on the boot drive, head to System Preferences > Accounts and create another Admin Account, log out and into it and try your Software Update again.
    If this doesn't work, connect a Ethernet cable to the router or modem (power off/on) and try again.
    If this doesn't work then run through this list of fixes.

  • TS3212 I uninstalled iTunes because I have not bben able to update it or my iphone. I was told the program was infected. I am reinsatlling and getting error code 2203. Any ideas?

    I uninstalled my iTunes because it would not update and I have not been able to update my phone. I was told my program was infected and to uninstall and then reinstall it. I am now getting error code 2203 when I try to reinstall it. This is the second time trying to reinstall. The first time it was reinstalled with the same problems I orginally had. I am running Windows 7. Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

    Or....
    For Mac OS X:
    Step 1. Go to your “Applications” folder
    Step 2. Go to your “Utilities” folder
    Step 3. Launch “Terminal”
    Step 4. Type “sudo nano /etc/hosts” (without quotes) and hit return
    Step 5. Enter your password
    Step 6. Use the down arrow key to find the “gs.apple.com” entries. Once the cursor is in front, make sure you comment out the line(s) by entering “#” (no quotes) in front of the text
    Step 7. Save the file by pressing CONTROL+O on the keyboard
    Step 8. Exit the nano editor by pressing CONTROL+X on the keyboard
    Step 9. Restore your iDevice
    Try that

  • Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Camera Flash and Focus Issues

    I have 2 issues with the Camera on my Note 3:
    1) The camera flash stops working on my Note 3 even when using another application like Flashlight. I need to turn off my phone and turn it back on for it to start working.
    2) The Camera takes a long time to take pictures and the pictures are often out of focus.
    Anyone else have these issues and know a solution?

  • When I attach my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Sview case my phone slows down.  Has any one experienced this?

    After getting an S-view case for my Note 3, I noticed many of my apps slowing down during use.  When I remove the case, the phone acts normally.  Also, when I go to the sview settings to add weather, it prompts me that settings has stopped working and it does not add weather to the s view.  Has anyone experienced this or know of a fix?

    Wowuor, 
    Thank you so much for reaching to us today. I want to make sure that we get the device charging the correct way. There is no physical or liquid damage to the phone or to the power cord correct? Did this error just start to appear as of last week? Please keep us posted.

    Are you getting an error? Is the SMTP server set to authenticate with your username and password? Is SSL enabled?

    Samsung software is not compatible to use iCloud.
    Must be an iOS based device such as an iPhone,  iPad, or iPod touch.

  • Texts sent by Samsung Galaxy S4 not being received

    Hi there,
    I seem to have issues sending texts to phones that do not use Verizon Wireless (could simply be iPhones, unsure). I can text my family and a few friends just fine, but usually my texts will not go through after sending one or two to a new number (very frustrating for trying to pick up girls, lemme tell ya).
    Samsung Galaxy S4 (SCH-1545)
    Android 4.3
    I use the "8sms" app, but have encountered this problem with 8sms, Handcent, and the stock messaging app.
    Thank you for any and all help in advance,
    Josh

        Thanks for the additional information jdklein. The difficulties are likely specific to having an Apple device previously on the line. Our best recommendation is to unregister your number with Apple. Here is a link to assist. JonathanK_VZW

  • I just purchased a note 3.  Everything works well except I cannot send text messages.  I can receive them, but I get an error message when I try to send them

    Can anyone tell me why I cannot send text messages on my note 3?   I can receive them, but when I attempt to send them I get an error message unable to send . . .  It's a brand new phone.

        Congratulations on your new phone, Nonaleigh.
    We would love to get to the bottom of your message mystery.
    I'm guessing you are getting the error for all messages you attempt to send, is that correct?
    What type of phone did you upgrade from? We ask because if you have switched from an Apple device (e.g., iPhone) to a non-Apple device (e.g., Android, Blackberry, etc.) and previously used the iMessage service, you may experience issues sending/receiving SMS/MMS messages with Apple device users. You need to deactivate the iMessage service within your Apple account to restore normal SMS/MMS functionality.
