We frequently can't send text messages

Thanks for your reply and I'm REALLY hoping that one of your ideas can

finally help to get this resolved or, alternatively, help me identify a

third party texting app that won't have these same issues.

Re: OTHER SMS ISSUES...

Unfortunately, the issues with my text messages don't seem to be confined

to only error messages incorrectly showing what has/hasn't actually been

sent. It also appears that some text messages in group conversations are

being received by others but NOT BY ME?!?

Per the attached screenshot of an ongoing thread, my sister apparently sent

a message about a death in the family this morning that I DID NOT receive. I

only became aware of it when others in the conversation started replying

and I then texted those people separately to find out what they were

talking about.

This is a great example of how challenging this can be when others believe

I'm ignoring something as significant as a death in the family.

Re: SMS DELETION...

In terms of DELETING MESSAGES, I am happy to delete every single message if

that will fix the problem. HOWEVER, I'm unaure how that will fix the

problem long term?

Moving forward, would this mean I can't save any messages or can't rely on

a feature/setting that automatically deletes messages that are older than a

certain date -- which is generally how I've handled this kind of stuff in

the past.

I'm VERY OPEN to any solution, but just want to make sure it's realistic

and sustainable moving forward.

Would it make sense to setup a phone call to discuss and try to

troubleshoot some solutions?

Let me know.

Thanks, Bryan
