Apparently I'm not a Sprint subscriber?

Went and saw boondock saints last night, there was a display in the main lobby, supposedly if you have sprint, you text that number and it sends you a text message back. Then you hold the phone near the display and it prints up a coupon or something for discount or free food from the concession.

I wouldn't know though....

You don't have Sprint, Sprint has you jk.

If you have a custom rom you may have to install a carrier cab.

Hmmm... the only way I could imagine something like that working is if they send you a picture message with a barcode you can hold under a scanner.

If your phone isn't set up to receive MMS/Pic Mail, it might throw an error like that?

Can you use MMS?

Forward that message and tell them to stop billing you. lol.
Most than likely it's your ROM.
Some of the guru's will chime in soon.

Was your number ported from another carrier?

You may have short code messaging blocked on your account. I have them block short code messages on mine because of the risks (I have a large family plan).

Sounds like Sprint being Sprint...

Well you obviously got the message so short codes aren't blocked...

And I personally doubt that carrier cabs have anything to do with it because you sent a text to their servers, so they scan your number to check.

I think the issue is on Sprint's side. Give them a call and ask them what they're doing.

stock roms on both

Be curious to see what they say, I thought it was maybe because I was SERO, but the TP is on a non SERO.

I don't remember if I ported the number....

I've used one of these, it uses purely text (no MMS).
