Can't Send a Text Message..... Help!

[Edmund-Q-9C]

I have had my Sprint 9QC for just over a month, I don't need to text message often, but every attempt to do so thus far has failed. I have enough bars, have the send-receive arrows (connection fine), can get to the internet fine, can email, etc.

What I get for an error is:
"Alert The message was not sent to one or more recipients.

To verify addresses and network coverage, select retry. To save drafts, select cancel."

That's it... the recipients #'s are fine, etc.

Just can't text message... I could just fine on my other phone Samsung a900?

did you install any 3rd party apps? or any registry hacks? is it only to the same person you get this message or everyone?

[Edmund-Q-9C]

.... I have not installed any applications, no hacks, and I cannot text message anyone at all ! Same errors.....

mine does that. A while back I had to remove txt from my account. (net stalker) They must have put on a sms block.

doubt its the Q, probabply a Sprint thing...

[Edmund-Q-9C]

..... What the heck do I do?

I bought one of those BT keyboards to assist in my text messaging, emailing, etc. on the road... any advice?

Do I go to Sprint?
(They have proven useless to me, have been a customer for years, all they try to do lately is rip me for services, rebates, errors in billing... always in their favor)

Call Sprint...have them remove and add back text messages! Test with them on the line.....

[Edmund-Q-9C]

I phoned Sprint (my first pleasant call in a long while with them)... anyway, called CS I stated that I have the Motorola 9QC and that I was unable to Text Message, cannot text message anybody, wont work regardless of reception, etc.

I stated that I wanted her to remove my texting capability of my plan, she said she was unable to do so do to my having the $99.99 Unlimited Plan.

The Fix: (I called CS from a different phone by the way)
So... Customer Support had me power off my phone, REMOVE the battery, wait 1 minute... place the battery back in, power up and retry.... IT WORKS!!! FIXED! CS stated that by powering down, removing the battery, placing it back in after 1 minute approx.. reboots the phone eliminating a whole host of other issues that can make the phone act quirky.... A GOOD NOTE TO KEEP IN MIND! THANKS Folks! Edmund

With verizon, sometimes a message gets stuck and you have to reprogram the phone.
