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

I drove down to where lisat said and it still isn't working. Guess the next step is to do a hard reset and if that doesn't work Sprint better have a solution for me!!

Hard reset didn't work either. I'm completely stumped. Have to wait for 5 hours for gf to get home so I can use her phone. If anyone else has any suggestions, I'm listening. I think I've tried everything possible.

I tested mine's & it came over no issue in the last 30 minutes.

I'm not sure if this makes a difference but I've always used 1234567890@messaging.sprintPCS.com

Yeah, that's what I use. Q_Q meant to type that but was just shortening for reference.

That is the correct one ... I have never bothered to use another.

Ooops - sorry meant 1234567890@messaging.sprintPCS.com also!
at this point, I would say call Sprint & have it elevated to a higher technician...not sure what level that is but if this interferes with your livelihood, then it's a problem for Sprint also.

Here is an ugly workaround:

Instead of "@messaging.sprintpcs.com" use: "@pm.sprint.com". Your phone will think its receiving picture mail and will slightly get confused. But nonetheless, the text message is there.

So there's definitely a routing issue of some sort within Sprint's network. Until it's fixed, I'll be using the PM address.

Works like a charm...Thanks a lot!!! I guess I'll just start using this until it is fixed. Now I know for sure it's a Sprint issue.

Do I call them and bitch or just say F it and wait?

Yeah, we've figured that out. It is a Sprint network issue for just a couple of us.
