Occasionally I get the message 'unable to send message' when texting
from my Moto V500. It's not always the same person, don't know if it's
always the same network as I have no idea what network my friends use.
I'm on Orange. Once this has happened then it can be several hours
before I can successfully send an SMS to that person.

Lots of threads on Google when I search on 'unable to send message' but
not this exact question

Is this a network issue?

I have a different phone (SL55), but since I had exactly the same
problem for the first time ever about 3 hours ago this evening, and I am
also on Orange, I wondered if it could be too much of a coincidence.

I had unusually low reception displaying, could not send texts, and did
not receive ones that had been sent.

Turned the phone off and on, and all three things fixed themselves.

Was your problem tonight, or is it often? I've not seen it before, until
just before I read your message.

It happens infrequently, maybe every couple of weeks. I should also
mention that it's not because I'm sending where there's no signal - I
always check that, and anyway there are no holes in local coverage where
I live.

Yep - my low coverage reported by the phone was spurious - after a
reboot it was back to normal.

I just don't know whether it was a network problem, or a coincidental
phone problem the same time you had yours!
