Does anyone have a solution

Turn it off remove SIM card and put it back together. That used to sort mine.

You might get some clues from logcat.

Install adb from the Android SDK. Then do 'adb logcat'. Look for a bunch of error messages when you try to send a text. Put the error messages into Google and see what comes back.

Or just reset to factory defaults.

+1 Check for the latest firmware and install any updates available.

I think I've seen that 'messaging has stopped' on a Sony Android phone before, I believe it was a corrupt text database causing it. Factory resetting your phone will fix it, but will also wipe everything on it.

As others have said, installing a new SMS app, such as Textra or Go SMS may also get round the problem.
