I believe that you either need to be connected 4G or Wifi to be able to do both at once.

well cdma calls still use 1x, but you should be able to do sms and voice simultaneously. mms is a different beast however.

are you in a weak signal area, or possibly roaming?

you need to be on 4g or wifi in order to surf the web and make calls, but texting while on a call should work fine without either.

The only reason you should run into a problem sending a text while on a call is if you are trying to send a photo or video in the message. In this case, it still needs data to send the file. I have run into this problem before, and oddly enough, turning 4G on didn't help. Message sent fine on its own as soon as I hung up though...
