My boyfriend just got a charge today. He left Verizon and tried sending a text but says message failed. He can receive text and calls, but can't text out. Any ideas? He's on way to work so he can't go to store til tomorrow..

I had the same issue when I first got my Charge. After a little bit, I was able to send text messages just fine. It could be that it isn't fully activated on VZWs system yet. I'd say wait a little bit, maybe an hour or two, and then restart the phone and try again. If that doesn't work, Google Voice will still allow text messages in/out, and you could also use GTalk until it is working.
Thank you =]]] Can't believe we didn't try that first lol.
It's working now

I've been having problems with long texts not being received. I send a short one and it goes through, I send a longer one (say 140 characters) and it doesn't. Phone pops up the message sent bubble, but it is never received.
To test out my theory, I started a new sms and sent it to myself. phone says it sent, then I get a reply via text saying like not able to send, please resend with area code... so i use area code and it sends and i get it just fine. I press reply and send a short message, it comes through.. I reply again and send a longer message, and I get the error saying I need an area code.
So what seems like is going on, for whatever reason with I REPLY to a message with a lengthy text, it tries to send it without area code... I dont get that error text back though when sending to my girlfriend.
I'm on alltel, typically trying to text my girl on verizon.
HELP!?
After working well for the first week, my Captivate has stopped recieving text messages. I have tried sending from several different sources as well as sending an email to my phone [email protected] to no avail. Anyone have any ideas on where to start?!

Check your AT&T Account manager online, make sure you still have a text messaging plan. When I did an upgrade some how it was removed and I just didn't get or receive any texts for a few days.... not even a charge.
i bet your text messaging settings got changed that happened to me but i forgot how to change srry
Finally! Someone else with this problem! I have to do a factory reset or a reflash every time it happens, and it works after that, but I haven't been having any trouble with it since I went back to stock. (No root or any fixes/sideloaded apps, only about 5 apps total installed.)
Did you have any sort of task killer installed?
I am very new to Android coming from Palm Pre and I purchased Droid Pro and activated it with Page Plus everything seems to work fine except I can't receive or can't send any plain text messages any kind. I haven't been able to receive or send any ever since I got this activated. I have tried everything I could.
I did activation multiple times and still no luck! I am very frustrated at this point and don't know what to do. I really love this phone and it works great including web data, calls but the stupid text messages will not work at all.
As soon as I send a text message I get an instant error message saying text message not sent and it does that for every message. This is just driving me insane since I text more than I talk.
I am getting close to my last resort is the reset this phone to factory which I don't know how to do. My brother uses Droid 2 Global and Fascinate on Page Plus Wireless with no problems. I tried calling multiple sources and no one is willing to help me.
Please help me if you can.
Anybody here know what I can do? I am so frustrated. I know I am missing text messages right now. I hate to go back to Palm... and this is the only Android phone from Verizon that I like so far. I love the keyboard but without being able to send or receive text messages this thing would be worthless for me. I text more than I talk.
This are just random guesses, but i thought i would try:
- wrong sms format (UTF-8?)
- wrong number/address for sms central in settings?
Fixed!!!
After days of fighting with it I got it figured out by process of elimination. For Page Plus Wireless under "Wireless & Network Settings" > "Mobile Networks" > "Network Mode" - needs to be set to "GLOBAL" and not "CDMA" like I thought and after this all my text messages are working properly.
This may be useful to someone later on.
Now if I can get rid of all the bloatware that this Droid Pro came with without rooting I would be very excited. I love this phone so far even though I am missing the true multi-tasking but I am sure I will get used to. I am already getting used to Android and it's only been a few days
Root it and change build.prop
change in system/build.prop
ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc = 0
This will solve sms problems

Hey guys I'm using the stock messaging application and the delivery would sometimes fail. I'm not saying this is every now and then, but this problem comes up for half of my text messages I am trying to send. I updated the PRL and my phone is completely fine. I'm running the latest humblecomb and the lastest OTB pbj kernel.
I don't know if it's just me or does anyone else get a failed delivery? It's so annoying when I have to check that my message actually sent.

if you're texting another VZ customer I know you can turn on the 'delivery report' option in the sms settings, it gets a little annoying cuz it'll basically give you two message tones one when its delivered and one when you receive a text

hm.. im not sure you get what im saying
I mean when you send the message, but in a few seconds it says the message failed to send. I would have to send it again then!

oh ok lol, the only reason it would fail is a network issue either with your phone or the recipient... if they get the texts and/or you can receive them its something wrong with your phone, can't say i've heard of any fixes beside maybe odining your radio again
blazing through on my VZ Droid Charge 4G
Hello all last week I noticed something weird happen when I went to call a friend. The dial tone never sounded so I cancelled the call I then tried to recall and it said something like can't send phone limit exceeded ( I'm on contract).... I then thought I would text him and the message failed to send so I tried another contact and that also failed... My browser also wouldn't connect to the internet....... I turned my phone off and all was fine again....
Anyway tonight almost exactly a week later I'm texting and it won't send all of a sudden so I try to make a call and low and behold the same error can't send phone limit exceeded appears.... This time I turned off my data and turned it back on and weirdly it let me send texts and call....
I've also been receiving some messages twice..... Any ideas guys?
PS I have a cubot x17 but its never happened before
