More specifically, I am unable to receive texts sent from a Verizon phone in New England.
It's not just that. She never receives the texts that I send her either. We've been testing this over a month now, telling each other when we've texted on Facebook and it never goes through on either end. I don't get hers and she never gets mine.
I have no issue with local Verizon (Texas) but I have three other friends out of state that are on Verizon and recently this has started with them as well.
Any ideas on what is going on?

I have a friend on Verizon that I have not been able to text in months. For some reason it just... stopped working.
It stopped working about the time they upgraded our towers in my area to provide 3G (and then 4G). That was around Sept. 2011 and I haven't been able to text her since then. She can send me texts and I get them. I can't respond. My phone acts like it has sent the messages, but she never receives them.
I've already talked to customer service, and they were of no help. They keep saying it's her phone, well it isn't. She can get other AT&T texts, just not mine. I had hoped the issue would go away when I got a new phone, but it hasn't. My first phone was a Samsung Captivate and now I'm working from a HTC One X. I'd really rather not have to use an app to text her...

I am having the same problem with 3 of my friends that are on verizon. The rest of the people i know on verizon work fine. and anyone on an iphone works fine. but for some reason the 3 people i talk to most, i cannot receive their texts and they cannot receive mine, but we can call each other just fine.
