Answer 1

You either don't have enough credits or your phone is in Analog mode. Make sure your settings allow your phone to operate in digital mode. If you're in an area without digital service, the phone will usually store the text messages internally and send them once you do enter a digital area, but if too many are stored the memory fills and it will give you a message telling you to try again later.
