Help cant send text messages

How are you not able to send, you get the "Message not Sent" error?

Usual fix for this is refreshing your data connection or updating the roaming list. You can do the first one by setting the phone in Airplane mode, restarting, turning it back on, disabling the mode. Turning it off completely, taking out the battery for a 1 minute or so, reinserting is another method as I'm told.

As for the roaming list, you call *228 and press 5 on the number pad.

Did you modify the phone by any chance, running custom ROM, etc.?

This sounds like a time to bite the bullet and call customer service. Cricket/Metro will probably be able to do something from their end to help you. Just remember to speak slowly and clearly so the workers in India can understand you lol.

You're right about that.

I had this issue all the time before I upgraded to 2.2. After that, I rarely get it. Depending on where you are and what kind of connection you are getting will play out in how messages are sent.

Since you tried the old fashioned options, I'm not sure where to go from here, maybe someone on the forums can help but as for those message errors...heh. Annoying.
