When you change carriers, especially to MetroPCS, if your friends had you coded in their phones already as a contact, they have to completely delete you. Then, send them a text message. They should be able to receive it. Then, when they receive the message, have them take that message to add you back into their contacts. Then have them reply to your message. This should resolve the issue. Your phone thinks you are still on the Verizon network, is what it sounds like. I hope this helps.
