Why won't my phone send or receive texts?

I've always been able to text with my phone until I got the Blackberry curve. After several months, it lost the ability to send or receive texts. I thought that it was the phone's fault, and I ended up getting an LG Vu. However, this one has the same problem. What is happening that is causing this? I don't think that I cancelled texting on my bill, and I've already checked to make sure. Supposedly I'm still paying for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried to check with your network provider to see if your using the correct message center number and just check that all of the message settings are set up properly in the message settings menu.

    Your network provider should be able to do a full trouble shoot with you to resolve this. The fact that you have had the same problem with two different handsets just means that the problem lies with the sim card or your account with the company that you are with not the phone.

    Only other option to try before contacting them again is for you to get a sim replacement in a phone store. You will be able to keep the same number and account details they just give you a new sim card. They only really last a year so this does need to be done annually. Just a tip would be to make sure that you have transferred all info such as phone book and messages to the phone memory as this will be lost from the sim exchange.
