Help Problems with sending picture messages

OK, with my T-Bolt as much as I love this phone even without rooting it just yet I have been having problems with sending picture messages. I can send a few here and there at a point during the day but then if I want to send more it won't allow me to. It tries sending it and then I get the failed to send message notification. Also I'm using GO SMS Pro because as far as I knew HTC had not fixed the issue with Swype text on auto capitalizing and auto spacing. Now I have tried to send picture messages with the stock app to see if the app is the problem but it's not. I also called verizon and the only thing that I hadn't tried that they suggested was a soft reset and a hard reset. I did the soft reset twice yesterday and the problem is not solved. I am refusing at the moment to do a hard reset because it is a major pain in the ass to redo all the stuff on my phone. It seriously took me like a week to get my phone to the way it is now, which is just how I like it. I'm guessing I should get rid of the messaging app I have and see if that makes it work again but I really like the app mostly because there is a hidden part of it that allows you to lock messages completely unless you know how to get to it and know the passcode. So please please please give me a hand with this and help me get my phone back to normal. I also want to add that a couple weeks ago I had several people text me and I never received them. And at times I get double of the same message from people. And on my final note my issue does not affect my sending and receiving regular texts it's just picture texts.
 
I got halfway through your post to where it says you're using "GoSMS"--that's the issue. Believe me. Try sending an MMS message with any other application, and watch it work flawlessly.

While it's worth trying others to narrow down the issues, not everyone has problems with GoSMS. I've used it since day one, never had issues sending or receiving picture or video messages to a variety of users on multiple platforms and models. I have, however, seen other people with issues with various messaging apps, and sometimes, certain ones work better than others.

I've only had problems with my Droid x, when I sent a message, it'll add additional letters to my signature. But I like the thunderbolt stock sms, cus the way it syncs everything. But I had a similar problem. At one point I couldn't even send a picture message. Or receive one for that matter. It lasted a month. (im very patient) so I called verizon and tried every thing they said. Soft reset, network reset, and the rhing that fixed it. A hard reset. And I'm good.
