Unable to stop text message not sent notification
About a week ago I received a text from someone that was sent to my email address. I tried to reply to it and now the **** "text message not sent" notification keeps popping up and I can't make it stop. This is driving me insane.

I just had this very exact problem. I was on the phone with tech support for about 5 hrs until they finally gave up and admitted they had no idea how to fix this. They shipped me a 'like new' phone after all of my complaining, and I haven't had any problems as of yet. Basically your two options are to have them send you a new phone or factory reset your device and hope for the best. I did the reset and my phone just started acting worse.

Text message said Sent as text message not deilvered. did it get sent
When sending a text, I received a message "sent as text message" not the normal "delivered" Did it actually get sent?
Anything is possible. It's also possible that the person who received it deleted it by accident. Or, it's possible that they received it and are telling you they don't. I would say that the first is the least likely, though.

Text messages not being sent with Google Now or in Car Mode
When attempting to send a text message by voice using either Google Now or when in Car Mode, the text message gets created correctly to the right person, and the content of the message is correct. When I confirm to send the message, I always get "Message Not Sent". I'm able to send text messages manually using the standard Messages app. Researching this issue, I've seen that there are some others having the same problem but I have not found or heard of a resolution.
I don't have a Verizon Messages app.

How do I get the "message not sent" icon off my notifications?
I keep getting the "message not sent" icon even when I haven't sent a message or when I have sent a message and it did send.

Great question! This is normal and is not going to mess up your phone. This helps your phone clear any unnecessary data being used. What I would recommend is performing a back up using our Verizon cloud to keep all your information safe http://vz.to/1C5umDG .

Salient points:
I'm using a brand new Droid Pro. This phone was provided by ProtectCell after my two-month-old phone experienced a cracked display. It is new, not factory refurbished. My service was working perfectly on my imperfect other phone. (Texts were being received and sent with no problems, it was reading them that was a problem, due to the faulty display.) I took the new phone to the Verizon Wireless store to have it activated and my contacts transferred. I have not been able to send or receive text messages on the new phone. I tried restarting the phone, then removing the battery, and when those didn't work I called customer service and was told there were no network issues in the area, and that my plan correctly showed unlimited texting. They were unable to transfer me to Technical Support because I had no other device on which to speak while troubleshooting. I was advised to try *228 in case of a programming error. That didn't work. I have made sure that my phone is running the most recent updates. I've even downloaded Handcent in case it was an issue with the included software, but it seems SMS is not working at all on this phone. I've verified that people are unable to send text messages to me, and that I am still able to call out and receive calls, so I know that the SMS is the only affected service. I don't know what else to try, or what I have missed, or if my wonderful new replacement phone is faulty out of the gate. Please help, before I tear out my hair.Lothruin, I am sorry your text messaging isn't working. I understand how frustrating this is and would like to assist you as best as I can. From your post, I show you have performed a lot of the trouble shooting steps we would have performed. The last step would be to ensure your provisioned correctly on your account for text messaging. This will involve speaking with you on an alternate phone. YOu may send me a private message with your name a alternate contact number to discuss and trouble-shoot your issue in more detail.

Upgraded from iphone to a Samsung and now i am unable to receive text messages from other iphone users unless they disable imessage .
Being my original number was on an iphone is why this is happening .
Please help. Almost everyone has an iphoneYou should have turned iMessage off before disabling the phone. Do you still have the phone so you can turn iMessage off? If not, you will need to go to Apple support on their website and delete the product from your profile.

Error Message - Unable to send text message!
Hi, hope someone can help me with this.
I have started getting this error when i send a text from PC Suite via my 7610. The text sends properly and this error shows up.
Setup:
Windows XP Pro - Service Pack 2
PC Suite Version - 6.70.22
Bluetooth connection.
Started out of the blue with no warning.
I have tried removing the battery from the phone and putting it back in. I uninstalled and reinstalled the suite.
Any help Appreciated.i had the same problem. sending an sms with the pc suite produces the unable to send text message error. i tried removing SMSsync, PC support form the phone as described in the forum. None of this helped for me.
eventually uninstalled pc suite from the pc. then ran the pc suite cleaner, it can be found here:
http://europe.nokia.com/nokia/0,8764,75877,00.html
reinstalled the pc suite and that solved the problems
sms's sent via pc suite are now sending successfully -
My son had a friend give him his apple ID username and password, and downloaded a texting app. Now, some text messages were sent, and they are both denying it. Is there any way to know if the text messages came from my son's iPod? The app and texts are deleted, so I can't look at a history to see who typed them.
I could not find anything one the developer's upport page. Contact the developer and ask

Getting "messages not sent" error from Yahoo e-mail outbox folder
I tried forwarding two e-mails with attachments that somehow got stuck in my outbox. I continually get the "x messages not sent" error message but when I click on the error and go to the outbox, I am unable to delete the messages or perform any other action because it says the messages are in the progress of being sent. Any thoughts on how to clear this error?

Simple delete the yahoo mail from the native email app. then go to the google play store and download the stand alone YMail app and you need only to enter your yahoo mail user name and password and it will work perfectly.
Good Luck -
Once I downloaded the KitKat upgrade, i was unable to read text messages or MMS messages. Battery life really short, and now I'm unable to get it to load, phone is unusable. took phone into the Version store, and they were not able to get it to work either..
I have 3 Motorola M on my account, one updated correctly, and one has not been updated to the new version. I have since taken the broken phone into the store, and they customer support people were not able to get it to load as well. Pretty much told me there is nothing they can do to make it work again, But I can buy a new phone at full price since I still have 6 months on my contract. Oh that's nice, I can see having to pay full price if the phone was broken by something I did, but not because of a software update. Its very frustrating and not right!

Some text messages not received or are empty
Some text messages not received or are empty, I have been using the Verizon app because I like it but I have also seen issues with Textra. Basically some messages have been empty but last night I sent a text to someone and it sent and delivered and the person never got it. I have wifi enabled at home which was where it happened and I do use a network extender due to the weak coverage but I have a great signal with it and voice was clear last night since I received a call, is anyone else having issues?
I am using Nova Launcher which shouldn't matter. Everything else works great and I love the phone.
ThanksI, too, have been having many problems with not receiving text messages. I have been dealing with this crap for 6 weeks now!! I don't receive texts from various people, and it is very sporadic. It shows in their sent box, but NEVER shows up in my inbox. I have talked to about 8 different reps from VW and they keep coming up with excuses. We have tried EVERYTHING! They have even sent me a different phone and I am still having this problem. I just got off the phone (again!) with them and they are sending me ANOTHER phone. I have asked to get out of my contract with no ETF, but, of course, they won't allow that to happen. They keep telling me that I "have to work with them"!! Like I haven't given them several chances already! My job is in jeopardy because my boss texted me something; I never received it; and he was NOT happy!! He told me to "get the problem fixed"...I don't feel VW is living up to their end of the contract and I feel like I am paying a lot of money every month for an unreliable service. I am pursuing reporting this to the FCC. Needless to say, I got very angry with the last 2 people I have spoken with at VW and used some colorful language! Does anybody have any suggestions on what I can do next (before I lose my job!!)!!

IPhone 5 Showing incorrect Time. Unable to send text messages.
Ok here's my problem. My time on my iPhone is incorrect. I check my settings it's on automatic and it is set to my Hawaii time zone. I am unable to send text messages because I believe the time is not the same as the server. When I try to send a text it says Go to Date & time settings. This happens at least once a day. My time would be incorrect for 10 mins then go back to correct time. This happens on LTE and on WiFi. I also have rebooted the iPhone. One last thing. I check my battery usage. It's says 4,294,967,278 days on Standby. I guess the time is messing up my stats. Anyone have the same problem? Please help. If not I hope new ios update fix this.
My house is in an area that is covered by 3G. But I work in an area that is 4G-LTE. (Actually, my house is right on the border of these coverages because I notice it switching from 3G to LTE periodically.)
Anyway, what I notice is that when I switch from the LTE to 3G network, my iPhone 5 clock gets corrupted. It's 2h22m off. Weird. It doesn't do it right away, but after I'm home for awhile, I'll notice that the clock has been changed. I know this corruption causes errors in my iMessage app because I've gotten an error message about it. It may cause errors in others.
Once I leave my house and go back into stable LTE coverage, I can do one of the following to correct the clock (because it won't autocorrect):
- turn the phone off and then back on
- go to Settings => General => Date&Time and switch "Set Automatically" off and then back on
These fixes will also work if I stay in 3G coverage.
This has happened every day since I got the phone so I know it's a real bug. I'm sending a support request to Apple today. Otherwise, however, I love my iPhone 5 and LTE speed makes all the difference. -
I have a LG Optimus Zone™ 2 and this just happened originally with one picture message. But now it's actually affecting a text. I get the error messages not sent reguardless of the wifi I'm connected to, I had been trying to send the picture for days. The text just happened today, and I had thought maybe my phone had been turned off since the payment was due today but I called the house phone (it went through) and have the amount for the payment right on my account waiting to be taken. I've hit power button and restarted the phone as well as took the battery out neither solved the problem :C

My phone was recently updated to 8.1. After the update, when text messages are sent when my phone is turned off, they no longer appear when I turn the phone on. Is there something in Settings that needs to be changed?
MetsFanGirl,
Thanks for verifying. Are you having issues receiving both iMessages and standard text messages when they are sent when the phone is turned off? Try this and test... http://vz.to/1qjiOs7
