Does anyone have a slightest idea?

phonenumber@vtext.com

i tried that but it didn't work.

You have to use the full ten digit number, with no dashes or anything. Like 5551234567@vtext.com

I just tried it with my number and it worked fine.

i did do that but i get an e-mail saying that the messagecould not be sent. Does the person need to set up an account with vtext.com? because the person had just got a new phone and plan and everything.

Do they have text mesaging on the plan? Should work ok. Does anyone else have an opinion on this?

Yes i am sure that they have it on the plan.

I would try sending a test message from the vtext.com website, then you can determine if it is an issue with the phone or not.

Ok i sent one on vtext.com but it wasn't actually sent. so does the person need to like sign up with vtext.com?

Shouldn't have to. I would recommend that the call VZW, it appears that the text messaging may not yet be setup on the acct. You mentioned that it was a new activation, so there may have been a mistake on the setup for the text messaging. I would also have them try to send a text message to your email address to see if they can send, but not recieve. Sounds like a setup error on the provider's side to me.
