[Q] SMS randomly stops working.

[replica9000]

SMS on my Pixel XL randomly seems to stop working. I usually have to restart the phone to get it to work again. I've never had an iPhone, so I know it's not the issue I've seen people having previously used iMessage. This problem seems to happen with both Google Messages, and ChompSMS. I'm on VZW's network.

Anyone else been experiencing this issue?

I think it happens when I get to an area without service. It's like the SMS service is unaware the connection is good when I have service again.

I'm trying Verizon Messages in the meantime. Surprisingly well featured app. Seems to allow SMS over data/wifi, so it might be a work around for this issue. Will report back later.

Same things is happening to me after updating to the August security patch. Should have left it alone as it was working fine before.
