IPhone 3G will not send text, getting "error sending message"

I recently upgraded my IPhone 3G to 2.2 and about a week later I was getting a "error sending message" when sending text messages. I can receive text just fine. I have tried restoring using ITunes and even had the ATT store tech swap the SIM card with no results. HELP!!!!!!! I am very upset with ATT and Appple. I know other folks out there are having the same problems and someone out there has a fix.
I feel I have a 600 dollar brick. Ron Bak ronbak@earthlink.net

Same here. Updated to 2.2.1 and now the bar quickly goes to about 90% stops and it takes awhile for the Error Sending message to appear. Still unable to send text messages.

I had 2.2, got the sms error bug, updated to 2.2.1 and I am still having trouble and have no idea what to do.
It is still going to about 90% and then giving me the same message.

Please help.
