To expand on what Blake was contributing, it does sound like they are currently experiencing an issue with text messaging service. Handy page and one to bookmark. Would be even more beneficial if they could take it one step further and comment on timelines and nature of the problem... though out of fairness with outages you often dont know those answers until its fixed or the people that would comment are busy putting their valuable time into fixing the problem!
Curious if for Apple people the issue also effects iMessage contacts, or if it's just green bubble text messages?
And does this link work for you temporarily since it sounds like data is working?
