sometimes with my nexus 5 ill be in the middle of sms chat then all of a sudden i lose connection to my network and my message trys to send forever but never does and sometime ill receive a message but can send. i thinks its the hangouts app thats to blame for that but also i had my phone on my desk and i went to do something and it said emergency calls only. and the only way i can ever get connection back is to turn airplane mode on then off and it connects fine:(
 
That sounds as if your SIM card is disconnecting (dirt on the card, dirt on the contacts on the socket), the socket is bad, the motherboard is bad or the SIM card is intermittent.

In any event, bring the phone to the carrier's store and have them check connectivity in regards to the SIM card. (A new card, if they want to rob you, may be as much as $1 - they should replace a defective one for free.)
