I have MMS messages that randomly won't send (they just sit there spooling). Random messages send and go through and random messages just sit there spooling. If I let it sit there spooling sometimes the message sends after 15-20 minutes (sometimes it's taken a few hours) and sometimes after a while I'll get an error message stating "message not sent". This issue occurs when I am sending a photo/gif to a single person and/or this issue also occurs with group message conversations with plain texts/photos/gifs. Sometimes it is the first message I send, sometimes it's the 4th, and sometimes it's the 10th message.. it's completely random when the messages won't send and just sits there spooling. This issue happens with everyone that I send messages too (it's not isolated to a single phone number). The only way I can get the "spooling" messages to send is to toggle airplane mode on/off, but for some reason when i do this it will send my message twice (but it will send right away). I am then good for a few messages and then it spools again and have to go back and toggle airplane mode on/off. The only way I can converse via texting is to use airplane mode dozens of times a day. I have noticed that I can schedule an MMS message to be sent in the future and it will go through. This issue started in December with my s22 (unlocked bought through Samsung.com) and continued when I got the s24+ (unlocked also bought through Samsung.com) in January. I have tried several different messaging apps (Google, Samsung, and Verizon) and all have the same issue. I even at some point factory reset my s24+ and the issue remained. Coincidentally my wife is having the issue (same phones s22 and s24+). I have worked with Verizon and have tried many different things (hours and hours of troubleshooting) but no luck. Verizon is now claiming it is a "phone" issue and not a network issue. I don't understand this especially because the issue existed on two different s22s/s24+'s (mine and my wife's). Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks for the update. Verizon is the only service that works where I live...I wish there was a way they would/could fix it! Thank you again for letting me know. It's been 5 months of this mess now.
