sudden text/SMS problems on galaxy s22+

noticed at around 7pm CST last night, my phone started having problems sending text and SMS messages.  hit send in the samsung messages app, and the little ‘sending’ pinwheel would just spin and spin.  sometimes, after 5-10 mins, it would send. 

picture/multimedia messages are all still failing with a ‘network error occurred’ pop up.

• ive rebooted my phone several times.  
• toggled airplane mode on and off several times
• toggled to 4g  lte only network, and back
• ‘reset’ my mobile network settings

nothing has helped so far.

i can surf the internet on 5G, so i dont think its a data service issue (yet).  seems limited to text and sms.  tests seem to be sending better today, but still takes anywhere between 5-30 seconds for the pinwheel to stop and the message to be sent.

sometimes ill get double or more copies of replies.

any issues going on in the west minneapolis metro?

edit: issues with texts have returned.  just saw a pop up ‘ unable to send messages.  they will be sent when the service [returns?]’  it flashed up and went away pretty quickly, so i wasnt able to recount the exact error message.

5 bars of 5G UC, but says (searching) in the upper left corner.   tower issue perhaps?

toggled airplane mode off and on again to force a mobile network reconnection, now says t mobile in the upper left corner of my screen.  texts are taking 10-30secs to send again, but hey! at least they send, i guess..  getting pretty annoyed!
