Trouble Sending Text Messages

[TLG74]

Today I have 3G or 1X coverage where I normally have 4G.  I have received a text message today and am unable to respond.  Phone says Sending...  I have restarted the phone and that did not help.  Is there a problem at Verizon Wireless?

Let's get you up and running TLG74. When did you start experiencing issues with sending text messages. Are other Verizon Wireless customers in the area experiencing the same issues? To ensure there are no reported issues in the area, can you please provide us with your zip code?

Thank You,
