Oh.. that's not the problem..
I can RECEIVE sms just fine..
But when it takes a half hour to send one, there's a problem.
TeritaM - I'm in the Salt Lake City metro area - 5 bars on EDGE everywhere I go
RoadRider - the reason I suspect it's the phone is because I switched over to my nokia for 3 days and never had an issue as far as texts or mms goes. And as far as I've seen, my dad has NO problem with his curve
I've totally given up on MMS messaging, because no matter what I do it's hit or miss whether I receive them blank or not... I've told people either 1- send them to my email (only way they come through with a picture) or 2- just don't send me anything mms-like.
I can send MMS just fine however...
I have a friend with a sidekick, he's had it for a little over a year now, and he's the one that actually pointed me to my sms problem... We were texting, and my phone randomly stopped "delivering" texts for 15min.. then it finally did and he got flooded with them... It's done that every half hour for almost 24 hours now.
What's even funnier is my dad has a curve, and doesn't notice any problems with BIS/BES or SMS/MMS. Then again, he doesn't use the last two as much as I do
(where my monthly bill says 19,000 texts in a month... his says 2,000)
At this point I'm just not sure what to do. Keep in mind the T-Mobile by my house is pretty much dumb, and they told me that "all back covers on all blackberry's fall off" You think I'm going to go talk to them about anything like this? You're pretty much wrong, they'll say the same thing "all blackberry's have problems sending sms"
*sigh* I just don't know anymore...
Now it's stopped pushing my email again too (3 emails in my inbox, none on my phone) It's just adding to a not-so-great day...
And I'm not saying the sidekick does better. Any phone has equal ability as far as sms and mms goes, I know that...
But when in the store signing a contract, it was between the pearl and a sidekick... you see who won so far ;)
