This can be fixed, what youll have to do is call up sprint tech support, and tell them you need to reprogram your phone just like during activation where they give you some codes to put in, after you've done that, then change to antoher Radio, i would suggest the Telus radio works the best.
Problem solved.

i agree except about the telus radio working the best. it all depends on what area you're in what carrier you have and what you want the radio to improve for you....if i were you i'd try 2 or 3 and see which ones work best.

calling tech for an account reset, should do it, but yes it's a common problem with sprint. just make up your minds, nextel or byetel.

I'll add a +1 to Sprint problem.

It was happening to me in my apartment, a LOT. My first call resulted in a tech telling me to "leave my phone by the window because that's what she had to do." That really wasn't a feasible answer because it made no difference.

A few calls later I got an airave and it seemed to fix the problem. I noticed if I forced my phone to roam, on VZW/Alltell towers, texts would be delivered immediately, every time... and I wouldn't miss calls any more. If you know something important is incoming, just force the phone to roam.

true, they dont' count roaming txt's.

This is a big problem glad you said this because I am having the same problem. I called Sprint like Merdinh said and they reprogrammed me. No kidding, it worked, for about 5 hours. That night I went back to the Sprint 1.11 radio to try it and still no luck. I am going to try Telus radio, but it was working great, even when someone sent 2 or 3 at a time which always seems to clog the system. I have no idea what to do haha. I am getting tired of this but since I only text pretty much it needs to work! Haha. Anyone have any ideas besides a network refresh and reprogramming phone? They did both yesterday. I have plenty of service too.

Gah, so some people just get lucky with a good msid number?

I spent hours and hours trying the suggestions posted here to no avail. I even swapped out my Pro several times and the problem never got better. After being a customer of theirs for 10 years, I finally couldn't take it any more and hacked my phone to work on Verizon. It's really unfortunate because I like Sprints pricing & phone selection the most.

I had one recently that Sprint delivered almost a week late. I find the same issue on my Mogul so it would seem to be more network related than device related.
