Why won't my phone send texts?

My Samsung GT-S5600 has stopped sending messages. It was working earlier today, but suddenly it started saying that the message could not send when I tried to send a text. I've tried turning it off and on, and removing the sim card and replacing it. The phone has also started receiving texts some time after they were sent, even when it has full bars of network. I was wondering if anyone knew what I could do to fix either of these problems? I'm on a contract with unlimited texts, so the not sending texts is nothing to do with being out of money.

Update:

I'm also with 3, I'm about 6 months into an 18 month contract; I've not had any problems with it before now.

Update 2:

As of about half-twelve last night it's working again. Guess 3 were just having some down time.

    What network are you with?

    I've been having issues with my mobile this evening too,and I'm with 3 :L

    I think it may just be a technical probelm 3 are having. Hopefully they shall fix it soon.

    Thank the lord it's 3 and not my phone! I'm with 3 too, and i'm so happy someone else is having the same problems as me, so I'm going to guess that it's just a technical error that will be fixed overnight hopefully? Normally it's about that :) does anyone know when the network stopped working?

    Source(s): I have a mobile on 3, and I have the exact same contract as you do, for the same length and I got mine about 6 months ago too :)

    Yeah my phone did that at around 5 yesterday too (I'm on three as well) but I sent a text this morning and it seemed to go through, so I think its working now.
