Cant send txt messages - Epic 4G General

Well, figured I would ask you guys since sprint apparently gave up.
So, for about 6 hours now, I haven't been able to send or receive txts. It just says messag not sent in the notification bar, and failed under the message itself. I can still use phone, web, and email. So, I called sprint and they had me remove the battery and they reset the messaging or something, but that didn't work. Then they sent me to tech support, and they had me update profile like three times, but that didn't work. Then he tells me he would like to get his manager in on it, but he wasn't available at the time, so asked if he could call me back in like 20 minutes. I said sure, and even gave him the number to our other line to call me on, and that was about two hours ago. Still haven't heard back.
So, have any of you ever had this happen, and how did you fix it?
I'm currently on random rom phoenix with genocide 1.0, but I even tried flashing a couple different roms to see if maybe that was the problem, but had the same result. Txt messaging still broken.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

You are not using a task killer or clearing level 2 RAM are you? Have you tried GoSMS or Handcent to see if those work in order to narrow down the problem?

Had this happen on my Evo3d just 2 days ago.
Called up Sprint and had them refresh my text messaging. They basically just reset access to text messaging. It fixed it for me.

fail......odined to complete stock eco5, and still cant send or recieve txts. As usual, phone, web, and email all still work fine. Updated profile again also. I went into about phone, then status to check my prl (60681), and noticed for phone number it has my number, but in MSID it has a different phone number I have never heard of. Not sure if that would cause any problems, but I'm not even sure what MSID is either, or how that number would have gotten in there. strange. Guess I will just take it in to the store today.
EDIT......I just received at text right after posting this, but my reply failed. Maybe there is some kind of text outage in my area. That's what Sprint told me yesterday over the phone...lol They said it might only affect some phones, as my wife's phone works fine.

No task killers, and no ram clearing. I had gosms before I Odined back to stock. I'll d/l it again since I'm stock now, and see what happens I guess.

Yeah, they did that first, before they sent me to tech support.

Gosms fails to send also, so its not that..

Well, this thread can be deleted. Pulled up to the store, and figured I would try one more time to send a text so the phone doesn't make me look stupid going in there, and it went through, finally. Maybe I'll just go in and play with the et4g for a few minutes since I'm here.
Thank you guys for being patient and trying to help me out.

I would guess it is the tower by his house and the Sprint store is on a different tower, or Sprint fixed it.

As others have told you several times, if your having this many problems you need a dumb phone. I have 2 fascinates and neither have any of the problems you have and if they did I would return them. Market downloads work just fine here. As soon as I click install they start downloading.

Running nero v.5, getting server error when buying app

I searched but didn't find any topics for this. Sorry if this had been asked before.
I get the message 'server error has occured. Please retry or cancel' when I try to buy an app. I can download free apps fine. I rebooted my phone, but i'm still getting the same problem. Any suggestions?

Have you tried deleting app data in the manage app section of settings? That worked for me. Don't know if it's the same prob or not.
Google seems to be having issues with their Market. Or it could be samsung. Master talked about it yesterday when he released Axura 2.2.7.0

Thank you. I tried that, but it didn't work. I got this message before but it was before I flashed nero V5 but I didn't pay much mind to it because I thought it was just a temporary bug or something. I don't buy apps that often but i think it started after the new market was updated

After you click to buy you get a payment option and there you can choose to bill carrier.
When I do that I do not get an option to bill carrier or anything just the server error. I have tried all the fixes nothing

Lol,i been getting that message on 80% of roms when trying to updste prl or firmware for about 2-3 months now.
Same here. It's done it ever since I got the phone in August. If you were actually downloading, it would show it...at least it does for me when I ODIN dg07 to set back to stock.
Never did find the di18-gb-rel file. Lol
If its like the last couple pushes, it'll just pop a window up saying to upgrade push here...

My kids had the transform for a while; which came with sprint id. Sounds like a good concept; but it really wasn't very good.
Who knows, perhaps they learned from the whoas from Transform users. Maybe, doubt it though.
I know for myself; Sprint ID will never be installed on my Epic.
Good luck!!
