Help Texting Issues

So here is the story - when I replaced my OG Droid with my Droid 3 a few days after release, I began to notice problems with texting - I would either go to send a text (with full bars) and get a 'message not received' over and over again. Other times, texts I sent weren't being received by the recipient, or people were sending me texts and they wouldn't come through. I would need a test text to my own phone number, and then all the sudden an avalanche of texts would come through. I had it replaced under my 15-day warranty, and thought the problem was done.

Now, a month-ish later, I find that I am having the same problem again with a new phone. Never had these problems with my OG Droid prior to the switch.

Thoughts? Is this a problem that other people have had - possibly connected to the signal issues that the OTA update is supposedly going to fix? Any apps you could think of that might be causing this? (I'm using the stock messaging app.) Thanks!
 
I've had problems with texts being stuck in limbo quite a few times in the past. It was never phone specific. Every time I would just call Verizon and they would do something that cleared it out and all was well again. Have you called them?
 
i have seen this problem with the X2

you need to
hit menu
go to settings
applications
manage applications (which ever lets you see all your apps)
and locate your text messaging app, (could be named anything)
and clear data or cache if its listed, and your text should start working again


of course since both phones are different, have you tried reactivating the phone again? it couldnt hurt to try
