Hi @LS4,
Welcome to the community.
Given that the error is "Messaging has stopped" it is unlikely to be a network issue.
Try resetting the messaging app. You can do this by going to Settings > Apps > Messaging > Force Stop > Storage > Clear Data, then restart your phone.

Does the messaging app have permission for Storage? Which handset did you get from Failstra? I have the Z5C but took the telstra firmware off it.
