can anyone tell me what might be causing this error message to occur? It started about 5pm eastern time and occurs with both Vito SMS Chat and Windows system text messaging.

Did a soft reset, no avail. Did a back up and hard reset and still getting the message.
any clues?
(my contacts at the local store had no ideas)

Thanks - :viannen_82:

i heard this before..probably your text message inbox is full try and delete all messages and reboot.

could be on carrier side....... try placing the phone in airplane mode and than send out a text and when i t asks you if you want to turn the radio on so the text can be sent select yes and see what that does for you. ......

nope, no such luck.
am going to keep troubleshooting. - thought it could be the 1200$ they are charging me but they have assured me my phone is still on! Will see what happens tomorrow in case it is a network issue.
thanks though guys - have a good night!! (will update in the morning if still going on or better)

gotta call from my buddy and he says they ARE having a national network issue - no time frame as to when it will be repaired at the moment. ;)
