SMS Not Sending (AT&T)
Did a search and couldn't find any threads addressing this problem, sorry if it's a repost.

Have had my Nexus One for a few days now and this has happened twice. I type an SMS and hit send (full coverage area). It says that the message cannot be sent. I attempt to resend. Same thing. Eventually I have to restart the phone and resend for it send. Anyone else having this problem? I'm on the AT&T network if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance..

I have not seen this issue. I don't send a lot of texts, but usually around a dozen a day. Always go out for me.

Yea, not a HUGE issue but I'd love to get it resolved. Like I said, so far it has only happened twice. Hopefully it doesn't happen a lot more from here on out ...

I have the same issue, but with t-mobile. I thought that it was a network issue, but maybe not. Probably happens 1 out of 50 texts that i send...

I've tried that and it never successfully resends ... If I restart and it works then, how could it be a network issue? I'm not trying to tell you you're wrong, just am curious.

Yes I do get the red exclamation.

For me when this happens it doesn't let me SMS ANY contact, not just one ...

I suspect ATT might be a culprit, unless you feel you have a hardware fault on your N1. edit: I've never had to reboot for this reason so far, in over a month of use now.
I've had two reasons I've had to do reboots, this being one of them. The other was the problem with the keyboard/typing that other people have discussed.

I don't even turn 3G on since I'm on the AT&T network.
