This happens to me all of the time. Sprint seems to be giving me the run around with the testing they are supposedly doing. I don't think they can give us a valid reason why it is happening. I also get alot of missed calls that goes straight to my voice mail as well. This never happened with my mogul, it all started after i purchased the Touch Pro.

I find that if you force roaming on verizon's network, the texting is A LOT faster. I did testing based on sending text messages to myself, and noting the delay between send/receive.

Yep. I'm in Michigan...my Picture Mail messages have been delayed for up to 1 day. It's annoying....time to call up Sprint.

anyone experiencing this?
is there a fix?

How often do you restart your phone? I talked to a Sprint tech about this when I had my Motorola Q, which I never restarted.

They recommended restarting every few days because the messages can't get hung up in the network or some such.

i restart once every 3 days... maybe i should do it more often then...... i just hate the thought that my txting may not be reliable....

meh I have this problem with Sprint on a continual basis... but the worst problem, if you haven't noticed, is that if you send multi-part messages, that they arrive in the wrong order. IF you send a 3-part or higher, then it arrives 1,3,2 instead of 1,2,3. I tried this on my Pro, on my Touch, and I even had a friend using his 6700 on Sprint send me a 3-part, and it came in 1,3,2 as well.

When someone from AT&T sends me a 3-part, I get them 1,2,3. I think our Sprint phones aren't putting enough delay between the messages. My dumbphones put a bigger delay and there was no problem.
