Default Epic touch 4g, sms out not working...need help!

So heres the deal.

STATS:
SAMSUNG EPIC TOUCH 4G
ROOTED
STOCK KERNEL FLASHED VIA ODIN.
LOCATION: NYC (QUEENS)

ISSUE: i cannot SEND SMS messages... on 4g, 3g, or wifi. (I CAN RECEIVE TEXT NO PROBLEM)



4G , 3G, WIFI. all WORK. as they should (albeit not the best speeds) but it does, allow use of market, fully functional apps, web browsing and etc.


i tried updating profile, and PRL. no luck..


sometimes it will go through once every 12 times.



i was on the phone with sprint, they couldn't figure it out..

so im asking the community, any ideas?




UPDATE..
FLASHED Z'S V3 KERNEL, AND STOCK KERNEL AGAIN, STILL NO DICE.. IT WAS WORKING EARLIER.. i dont get it... sprint claims the towers are fine locally..

Oh I know. I usually average 8-12k texts per month. are you on your own plan?

Sprint has a new online system where you can disable texts, either ingoing, outgoing, or both. Data and voice can be disabled as well, all on whatever line you choose.

I've also been having numerous issues with texts not being sent out. About 2 in 10 will actually be sent. Receiving seems to be okay, but then again who knows. I've called Sprint and they have had me do the standard things, such as update profile, prl, and pull the battery. I did recently root, by using the kernel with CWM, flashing su, then going back to the stock kernel. I also disabled Sprint Integration with Google Voice and that seemed to help a lot, but I'm not sure if that was the cause.
