texting with old phones

not all of us have a need for data on our phones and still find having a cell phone handy. Very recently I have noticed that texting between new phones and old ones the texts are coming through less and less often, once it was only when they use imoges, now it's happening more often. Talking with other folks, many are having this issue. I am now thinking that you Verizon want us to all upgrade to more expensive phones so you are making it so that are's don't work as well. is this true? or what has changed recently as in the last couple weeks that texting between smart phones and our old flip phones is not working?

There are LTE basic phones now.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

THE7CS1,

 

Being able to text is a must! I think I do that more than talk on the phone these days. We understand that smartphones are not for everyone. We defintiely want to look further into your issue. What make/model phone are you using? Is the issue with sending &/or receiving text messages?
