Possibly a Verizon firmware restriction. No such problems on my Note 3, the international SM-N9005. As seen here with tonight's loving text conversation with my other half:


Does it do the same from Google Hangouts you can also use for SMS?

Did they try anything at all? My suspicion is they turned it on, saw it was a Verizon American import and turned it off again.

I think unless a third party replacement SMS app works your stuck typing each phone number out (07 not +447 to start) at the start of a new SMS conversation. Unless someone knows different.

Installed handcent....seems to work ok..just wish i could find a text service which uses mobile network not internet

Google Hangouts works on both Wi-Fi and network. I believe It can also be set to switch automatically between the two . I hope it also stops your problem.
