AT&T text messages are not sending
Even though I have 3 bars of service my iphone won't send imessages or regular text messages. The phone is not on airplane mode and I have tried restarting the phone as well. Any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem on my LG phone sending messages. It's totally hit and miss any more. It's just time to dump AT&T.

It could be the Message Center number. This worked for a friend of mine. In the messaging app, look for a menu. You want to get to the Settings.
The menus vary slightly from phone to phone, but you want to get to the text messaging settings. Again you may need to look for a menu option on this page.
What you want to get to is Message Center. If different, change it to +13123149810 (hold zero to get the +)
If you are using ATT Messages to get text of several devices, the change may affect this. But it helped a friend of mine who could not send.

One other option
Go to Settings>Applications (Or maybe Application Manager)>Messages>Force Stop>Clear Cache and reboot your device.

Here is what finally fixed mine after 5 miserable researching this issue.....AT&T's texting number (i.e."Message center number," found in the settings of the messaging app) is 13123149810. What was not specified on most forums was that a plus sign "+" has to be before the first number "1".
My messaging was working and all of a sudden, not. How the "plus sign" got removed in the first place I do not know. The plus sign is located on the 'zero number, faintly" on the numerical keyboard. Press and hold the zero button briefly and the plus sign appears. If not backspace and get rid of the zero and try again, then add the complete number; 13123149810.
When your all done it looks like this; +13123149810. If you do not have AT&T, just search your carriers "message center number" and make sure there is a "+" in front of all of it.
After 5 days I can text anything again.

I'm at a hospital that has basically no ATdT service, but has a strong public WiFi. In unable to make calls or texts because AT&T thinks this would be worse than having to troubleshoot problems if and when they would arise? As a customer, I can tell you that this is completely false. I would prefer to sign an agreement that I would waive the right to have assistance with calls our sms problems when my WiFi is turned on.
I won't be able to call my kids to tell them they have a new baby brother or sister is unacceptable, unless I borrow someone's phone that's not on AT&T.
I've had enough of AT&Ts crap service. I'll change carriers.
