Sprint: cannot send text messages, only recieve
 

None of our phones can send text messages. I can receive them just fine, but if I send it it just says not sent, put in drafts. My mom and sister cannot send either.

Also, Sprint service dropped out for a few minutes and I tried to make a call. Came up to a Verizon error message saying I couldn't be authenticated. Sprint came back and I could make calls just fine. This is upstate NY, anyone know if something fishy is going on?

[edit]
Gives me "Your text message cannot be sent. Saved in drafts" If I hit details, it gives me error code 97.

Re: Sprint Messed Up?
 

Yep...same problem...must be a network issue

Chattanooga, TN here

Re: Sprint Messed Up?
 

Verizon roaming issue too? I've never tried to roam on verizon since installing 3.16, so I didnt know if that was a network issue at the moment or just an issue with the new radio.

Re: Sprint Messed Up?
 

Funny you mention this. I'm sitting at work in the Hudson Valley region of NY and my partner (i work EMS, so i'm at one of our sub stations) just asked me if i could text. He just got an error message on his Mogul, i sent one out just fine on my Touch however. Very odd. Sound's as though there may be network issue in our area. The heavy rain moving through surely isn't helping anything.

Re: Sprint Messed Up?
 

yeah wtf! really pissed my texting just all of a sudden doesnt work! they better fix this asap!

Re: Sprint Messed Up?
 

My mom's LG phone makes calls fine when sent to roaming only. I try to call my phone which is set to roaming only and get voicemail. Is that an issue with the 3.16 and the new radio?

Also, it's not just my mogul as far as texting goes, my sister's upstage and my mom's LG both give the same problem.

Re: Sprint Messed Up?
 

Just tried it out to see if it's network wide.

Texted to my Verizon line while on Sprint Network. I received it. Tried it with girlfriend's phone and it worked also.

I think it's affecting the East Coast only.

Using nexvision's hybrid rom using dcd 2.3.1 and 3.27.00 radio.

Re: Sprint Messed Up?
 

Same thing here no texting out, Northern Illinois area. WTF is Sprint doing?!!!

Re: Sprint Messed Up?
 

Ok, i just sent a text through my Touch to my partner's Mogul. He got it within 2 seconds but he still cannot text out. Very odd. Again, i'm in the Hudson Valley region of New York.

Re: Sprint Messed Up?
 

Wow, I am in Columbus and just tried to text and got the same thing. Not sent, put in draft.

Re: Sprint Messed Up?
 

Hey op you might want to make the thread title more specific so more people will read/find it. Like "Unable to send texts, can still recieve"

Re: Sprint Messed Up?
 

Hmm, have to get a mod to rename it.

Re: Sprint Messed Up?

Re: Sprint: cannot send text messages, only recieve

Re: Sprint: cannot send text messages, only recieve
 

Does anybody have problems sending text messages today ? it says Message cannot be sent, with some kinda network error.

Re: Sprint: cannot send text messages, only recieve
 

I am having problems sending as well. I'm in the detroit area. 60614 PRL, Sprint Mogul. Even if I switch to roam (Vz) I still can't send.

Re: Sprint: cannot send text messages, only recieve
 

I tried my wife's mogul and she has the same issues as well.

Re: Sprint: cannot send text messages, only recieve
 

I'm in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area.
My phone is not allowing me to send texts as of 30 min ago.

Re: Sprint: cannot send text messages, only recieve
 

I'm going to go out on a limb here.

I'm guessing that the millions of "happy turkey day" chain text messages have forced the sprint SMS system to buckle and break.

Re: Sprint: cannot send text messages, only recieve
 

same here on the touch pro... this sucks that I can't send any replies.. only accept messages.. I thought something was wrong with the phone, it looks like it's the network...


Edit:... It's back..

Re: Sprint: cannot send text messages, only recieve
 

I called the last time this happened last weekend, and they said the network was out for 4 hours. maybe it happened again?

Re: Sprint: cannot send text messages, only recieve
 

Dammit! Not again!! Northern IL is out.

Re: Sprint: cannot send text messages, only recieve
 

I'm back up.
