Yeah, I'm stupid. Thanks Randy! hehe

So if it's a server issue, is my only option to wait?

I'm assuming flashing again won't fix the issue?

you could try a hard reset, i suppose it couldn't hurt.
also, you can change your thread title

Are you getting bounces to the address you are sending from?

Nope, it's lost in cyberspace. I have tried sending a text to my @messaging.sprintpcs.com from hotmail, gmail, yahoo. I have also had a few others send me a text message regularly which worked fine and then a text message with the address spelled out (@messaging.sprintpcs.com), which didn't work. They send out fine from all my accounts, they don't get any bounce emails and I never receive anything on my phone. I'm at a COMPLETE loss right now.

call sprint and have them open a ticket. talk to repair and they should help. as stated before, cant hurt to do a hard reset.

no offense, but if you can get email and sms just fine, why is this so important?

I stopped fwding email to sms for this reason. guess which messages get flagged as un-important when a system is having problems.... gmail... lol

actually you could try cleaning up your sms inbox, specifically those 'conversations'

I am a ticket broker so I need to be notified on my phone with a SMS when tickets sell so that I can go online to confirm the sale.

When I flashed 4 days ago, I deleted all of my messages from my inbox, outbox, sent, etc.

Mofo2713: where are you located? I have a hunch this may be due to a small local outage of some sort. I'm in the Phoenix area and I'm having the same problem as you. It's been close to 48 hours with no resolution.

Let me know what Sprint says if you call them.

I live in north Dallas (Plano)

I'm hoping it's just an outage but am getting impatient and want to just say F it and flash to see if that's the problem or not. I'm going on 36 hours now.

I will call Sprint later today when I have access to another phone for awhile. I will keep this thread updated and when you call Sprint, please post here as well.

I'm 85% sure that it is not the phone but the tower/server/network etc. since it just stopped working all of a sudden.

What I'm confused about though still is that I can receive phone to phone SMS just fine, just not when the address is typed out. @messaging...etc
