Already posted to the Verizon community forum, but thought I would give it a go here as well:
Daughter recently started having a problem with some of her text messages not going through, both incoming and outgoing. Doesn't seem specific to the carrier of who she's texting, both Verizon and non-Verizon. This is a Google Pixel2 and she's had it for a while. She's in a well-covered area [Brevard County, FL]. We have three other devices on our account [2 smart & 1 dumb] and AFAIK none of us are having the problem. I don't know if this is a Verizon problem or a device problem. The troubleshooting I looked up only seems to address when you can't get ANY texts to go through. I'm stumped. Any help appreciated, she is an Itinerant Teacher for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing so texting is pretty important.

We live in a two story house which has a water tank on the top. There is a toilet like gizmo to stop fill to the tank. We have a pump to move water from the ground level to the water tank - but how can I know when the tank is truly filled.
On the second level - below the tank - today I stood in a bathroom where I heard the water entering the tank above. When I heard that no more water was entering the tank I knew it was time to turn off the tank.
btw - I am an old man and cannot climb up to the tank all the time. And yes - we have tried wireless tank transmitters but they don't last long. And I am also considering some sort of visual detection scheme but there are complications.
So as I stood in the 2nd story bathroom today I said to myself - hmm - if I could only leave my phone here listening/broadcasting the 'tank filling noise' to my laptop downstairs then I wouldn't have to stand here like this.
I have successfully paired (bluetooth) my ZTE android phone to my Windows 10 laptop but when I (as a test) play music on my phone, the PC says nothing. But even if that did work, I really want to broadcast what the phone hears and not music.
This might be an interesting application in monitoring a sleeping child... but that is another thing.
So - any thoughts ?Read More
