A14 with payg EE. messenger stuck with that message. Tried all resets (cache, phone, etc.) and phone works for emails. Cannot send or receive texts but worked OK yesterday.

Hi @happyhacker 

Do you have sufficient credit.

Try restarting your device as well.

Thanks

If other internet-based functions work, then your phone has a working internet connection.

That leaves an app-specific issue.

Yes! It turned out to be flight mode accidentally set!

Glad you got it sorted. But your first post mentioned that your phone's email program was still working. That would be impossible if flight mode was the fix for another app not working.

As soon as I turned it off 13 msgs arrived. I do remember being able to do other things but you have a point. I will check that out. Thanks.
