LG CHOCOLATE PHONE ALL OF THE SUDDEN WILL NOT RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES -- AND WHEN I TRY TO SEND A MESSAGE TO THAT PHONE, I GET AN ERROR "INVALID DESTINATION" THEN IT LISTS THE PHONE #. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

MENU>MESSAGE>SETTINGS>TEXT MESGES>SIM OPTIONS>SERVICECENTRE. Enter the service number with service provider. Check with local LG service dealer.

what is an error 98 failed message invalid distination, is it fixable??

i would take your phone to verizon and talk to them...
they might give you the same phone you have or possibly switch you to a different phone if you had previous problems like that or they ran out of that phone.

I have the same thing. But I can still REPLY to a text message I've gotten. Keep a friend's old text message on your phone at all times and just select it and reply to the message and there you go. It still costs you money though.

Idk

what is the master reset for lg vx8500

check if u have enough balance to send the message.

LG Chocolate is the worst phone EVER! i've already self-fixed two problems, and now a new problem that i cannot make phone calls / receive them (they do actually go through but i can't hear anything). someone please tell me how to fix this....

It's a operator message. Your SIM card need to send a message to the operator to inform something about your phone (like you are using a new phone) but the receiver don't recognize for what the message is. Your sim card will keep sending the message until it receives a valid response.
Try to change the SIM card and see what happens. If the problem appears only with one card, you may ask your carrier company to change it.

Try saving the pictures to your phone first than sending them to your e mail
