I have had my 6700 for about a month now. I am an Alltel subscriber.
I text probably 30 texts a day, with Alltel, Cingular and Sprint users.
Last night, out of the blue, my texts messagers received from anyone other than Alltel, are scrambled. THey look like this - 7#*20>?! or something to that affect!
A text from an Alltel person is fine, I can read it. I called Alltel and they say there is nothing wrong on my line - it must be my phone. My husband and son are on my account, with different phone numbers - and they get texts from everyone else just fine.
So, this does lead me to believe it's JUST my phone not accepting non-Alltel texts - so WTH?? Alltel had be soft and hard boot - no help whatsoever. I've looked at every setting I can think of on this phone, and can NOT figure it out.
The only thing that had happened, right before it went haywire - my Motorola 850 Blue tooth won't link with this phone either - and my friend was trying to get it to work, and he'd gone on the internet on my phone to research online (not really sure what he was looking for) anyway, he said he couldn't find why it wouldn't link. 10 minutes later, I get my first text that is scrambled. I can not imagine what he could have done that made it start messing up though. Surely a hard boot would have erased any damage he MIGHT have done anyway.
So, I've looked online all day and found you guys, and you are my last hope!! Please someone tell me you know what the hell is wrong with my texting!!
