I've decided to leave sprint and go to AT&T... Anyone know if AT&T has a sero plan or anything similar to sprints sero program?

In the meantime would you try something? Go into a Sprint Store (yeah I know that can be painful) and please ask them to check for Software/Firmware and PRL updates for your phone....

A lot of times really weird behavior like that can be resolved with a simple (but sometimes time consuming dealing with a sprint store) update...

Even simple phones these days are like computers and are buggy from the get go. When they first get released there are bugs. Worse yet, sometimes the phone is fine at first but something on the network changes and the phone doesn't catch up... but because they are like computers they can be updated.

This may not work at all... you might still have problems, but I can tell you from first hand experience that delayed texting and strange calling problems *can* sometimes be resolved by a simple update. I take my wife's Sanyo Katana phone into Sprint and get it updated every 6 months or so when I am in that area and usually weird behavior goes away. Been doing this with every regular cell phone I've had since 2000 because they have all had updates that made them work better.

Good luck.
