Help Text Messages Not Sending Until I Restart Phone

Hello,

Thank you for reading this. Lately my phone has not been sending text messages. You hit send, and it immediately says that message failed regardless of the amount of signal. If I restart the phone, the issue temporarily fixes and I am able to normally send texts again until the next time that it happens again. This issue is very annoying.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to the help anyone is willing to give.
 
Hello.
Thank you for the quick reply. What is the three finger thing?

Thanks again.

On Samsung phones, it is to hold down 3 buttons at the same time from a power off condition.
Power button, volume down, Home button.

if your phone is not a Samsung, you will have to search for the method to cause you phone to come up in Recovery Mode Menu.... there you can select several options like:
Clear Cache Partitions,
Factory Data Restore (reflashes the phone to stock)

and more stuff depending on the phone model.
