Have you tried a soft reset then running a cleanup app like cleartemp or sktools and then soft resetting again? You might try after you clean turn it off and remove and then re-insert the sim card and then turn it back on and try again. Is there a way to contact the gsm carrier over there and ask about it? Just guesses.

Re: Having trouble recieving texts in europe

I am returning to Europe this week and this does not sound good.

Here is what I have done.

Note well that there are multiple carriers in each country and Sprint uses them all.

Rather than use the automatic setting, I try to find out which is the best carrier and use them. If you get shunted from one to the other it is trouble.

Also pull the battery.

Also, use the free number and call Sprint and bitch bitch bitch.

My question to you is, how much are you paying them for data? Are you getting hit hard? I see they charge $16/MB now!!!!!!
