mainly as a hail mary try downloading a different texting app and see if you have the same results. Samsung tends to use their own texting app so theres a decent amount of times the problem ends up being on their side.

might as well rule it out.

actually...you brought your Verizon phone with you here or did you end up getting a new device from TMO? wonder if your APNs need adjusted.
