Can't send text messages? Network problems?

I am having problems sending text messages. I get this message- "message send failed. Network problems." This happens when I try to text certain numbers. For other numbers I am able to send texts but when my friends text me back I do not get the text message yet they tell me the next day they did text me back.

This has been going on for 2 weeks on and off now. I called Verizon tech support but they said there was nothing they could do except wait it out. They said nothing was wrong with my phone because they checked and it was fine. My area has the best service around and I have full bars of service. Anyone have this same problem? How do I fix this? This happened last night and it is happening now again tonight. Starts anywhere from 8 pm to 11 pm and goes on till at least 7am. Yet they checked my phone and I am not blocked or restricted from texting after a certain time. 

 

Things I have already tried include turning off my phone and removing the battery for 30 seconds. I have tried *228 to have my phone reset and this did no difference. I even deleted all text messages from my phone and cleared all my recent phone calls but this did not help. I heard of other users who have had similar problems before but no fix was found.
