Phone won't send messages..

Once a month my phone won't send messages and it says message failed... I went to the message info to see why it wouldn't send and it said cause code: temporary(network problem:ntwk.fail.)
What does this mean? And how can I fix it if it can be fixed?

I know exactly what you mean! I recently broke my old reality (I am on me 4th one, its not the sturdiest phone ever) and I received a new one. It does this ALL THE TIME. Especially if you accidently cancel a message and try to resend it, it wont allow you. I have to usually turn my phone off and back on to get it to work. It's very frustrating at times.

I would certainly get a new phone - lone problem is that none of the verizon "feature" phones are any good - they're almost forcing folks to get smartphones and pay the extra $30/month...
