Same problem "text not sent" as other Motorola user - please help

I frequently get the following error message when sending text message:

“Not sent. Tap to try Again”.

This happens WAY TOO often and is super frustrating.  I have tried to restart my phone and power cycle with no resolution. Sometimes it can take a couple of hours and multiple "taps" to finally get the message to send. 

I have a Motorola Edge 2022. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
