Hi JackBarrett79,
If this is an SMS (and not iMessage) -- I've seen this lately too. My family is from very, very rural areas (and use Android devices). Lately when I try to send them messages they haven't been going through. We're on the same carrier, but I think it just has to do with a poor connection on the receivers end. As if it isn't "confirming" the message was sent successfully.
You can check with the carrier, but I think it's just poor cellular service.
If this is iMessage, have you tried to restart your phone?
