Stopped receiving SMS on phone when using @messaging.sprintpcs.com

I have a TP2 service with Sprint. I have upgraded to WM 6.5 official release on the 19th. Everything was working fine and then last night around 11PM, I stopped receiving SMS. I receive many (50-60) SMS/day due to mostly auto-forwarding from Gmail. I am still able to receive mail on my phone just fine and text messages from other cell phones come through no problem. Only problem I have is when I send something to @messaging.sprintpcs.com it doesn't come through anymore.

Called Sprint and of course they didn't tell me anything new that I didn't try on my phone already on my own. It's just like it stopped working all of a sudden. I haven't installed any new programs from the time it was working last night until the present or have made any other adjustments.

Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

So far this appears to be the worst bug in the official Sprint WM 6.5 ROM. I too haven't received any MMS messages since upgrading last night.

Maybe this will get more hits if the mods move it to the official Sprint WM 6.5 bugs section.

I know it's a long shot but have you guys updated your PRL lately?
It should be version 60662.
Plus have you sent any to test?

I haven't had any issues with my MMS since day1 with 6.1 or 6.5.
And I just check with outbound & inbound tests MMS myself within the last 30 minutes.
So I wouldn't call it a bug yet unless it was happening to every1 on a mass scale.

The funny thing is mine was working for ~3 days no problem before this happened

I've run PRL update a few times. How do I find what version I currently have?

So from our PM conversation I believe you are having issue with SMS via
1234567890@messaging.sprint.com

Which could be just a down server.
I tested mine's & it came over no issue in the last 30 minutes.

Yeah I'm an idiot. I guess that's why my post count is only 6.

If anyone else has suggestions, I'm all ears. It just stopped working out of the blue at 11pm last night so I have reason to believe it is something with the network/server but wouldn't it have been fixed by now?? Going on 18 hours. I haven't got out of this area. I suppose I could drive 30 min somewhere to get in a diff tower coverage and see if that makes a difference. I'm at a loss.

it's not an mms issue he's having, it's an sms issue. sending an email to that address will send you an sms. i believe the mms email is @pm.sprintpcs.com
