Help Trouble with texts sending sometimes

I have been having trouble sending text messages sometimes. It happens multiple times over a few days. It will keep saying it's sending. Sometimes even though it shows as sending, the message does in fact send. Other times it really does not send.
This has happened in multiple locations 40 miles away. I already got a replacement maxx from Verizon. I've been waiting for the to send a network team out to see if it's a tower problem for a week now. Even though clearly it's not a tower issue, it's happening with multiple towers!
I did a factory reset, tried play store messaging apps, cleared text messaging data, turned on and off delivery status, soft reboot...

Sorry, can't figure out how to delete the extra images..

I'm having the same problem! It's driving me crazy. I don't know if its not showing that the text message is being sent or if they really aren't sending.
Let me assure u that every time its happened to me the recipients have said they got the texts that I sent that on my end still displayed the green send arrow (which NVR go away),and also have said that those said txt msgs in question were sent in duplicate!?

Found this on another site and seems like it may have fixed my issue

Okay so with the most recent update Verizon made the switch from sending text messages over their 1x network and moved them to their LTE (and possibly 3g) network, hence the reason they are sending so much faster. Today I was in a classroom that is underground and has terrible reception and noticed that I was getting delivery reports again but that my texts were sending slower, like they used to. I dug around in the phones programing menu and found a new option call "MO SMS over IMS" and it was enabled. Disabling it switches your texts back onto the old 1x network. So if you choose to make the switch, your delivery reports will come back but sending will go back to being a little slower. To get to this menu open up your dialer and type in ##7764726. Next hit send and when prompted with a password type in 000000 and hit verify. Scroll down to SMS/MMS settings and select it. Next scroll to the bottom, select "MO SMS over IMS", and disable it. Now your good delivery reports back! "

I have had this same issue since I got JB. Did a flash once it was installed so I would not have any ICS os compatibility issues, so I know it is not that.

In ICS there was a similar problem with not sending messages, but I figured out what that was for me. Any time I used letters with an accent on them it would never send. Though this is not the case with it this time.

Sometimes with me the message will say it is sending and then the person I am texting will reply to it. Quite an annoying bug if I must say so myself..
