Text Messaging Problems: PATCH IS OUT NOW, SEE STICKY
This is a currently known bug in the 700wx that causes SMS not to work for Verizon and T-Mobile.
Please read below and do not create other threads on this issue! It's been happening since about October 2nd (it worked fine until that point). Update 11/16 from Palm (thanks to kaiguy for getting this): Quote:

Well .. this would explain so much, as most of my friends are using Verizon and not getting any of my text messages. Way to go Sprint :-p.

I wonder what compensation Sprint thinks we deserve for this issue.

I've heard that Sprint will not be investing $$$ into resolving this until the end of the year. I also have found out that Palm is now involved.

(a) where did you hear this from? (b) that doesn't make any sense This is obviously a Palm problem as they did something wrong in the programming of this phone in regards to how it encodes outgoing SMS messages. It's been know for over a week that "Palm was involved"and that is ipso facto necessary due to the nature of the problem. Because of this, they and only they can fix it. How is Sprint suppose to "invest $$$ into resolving this" when there is nothing they can do but wait for Palm to create a patch that they approve of? Sorry your statement is somewhat bewildering and nonsensical. :confused2: |
mala he said he heard and u know how those things go....dont be so harsh gosh. :argue: :angry7:

Or our presidents and all world leaders some master race from space...lol heck if it aint true oh well we can all get our kicks and giggles out of it. :P

I suggest anyone with Treos sending to another treo or other device on sprint not to send a text over 160 characters or you be getting a duplicate message like crazy!

I heard on FoxNews that the real reason SMS isn't working on the 700wx is because the Democrats want the terrorists to win.
As I stated over at TC, anyone who has this problem (which is pretty much all 700wx owners) should call retentions, explain your frustration, and politely ask for/see if they'll offer any permanent compensation. They gave me 500 texts/mo free for life. I believe someone mentioned they got unlimited for 2 years. |
