Sprint SMS and 700wx - Treo Forums

Durso · 10-07-2006, 01:06 PM

over the last week my 700wx has lost the ability to send text messages from certain contacts. I can receive messages from most everyone.

I called Sprint to see what the problem is, and said they are experiencing SMS outages. They said it can go on for weeks.

Is this affecting anyone else. I dont see anyone talking about not being able to send SMS on Sprint.

Does anyone have any insight as to this outage.

I'm also having the same problem. I just noticed today, but its been happening for 2 days already. I hope it gets fixed soon.

I'm also having the same problem...I can receive texts from any carrier but I can only text sprint and cingular customers and this has been goin on since the beggining of October.

I will b glad when its fixed but until then sprint is goin to credit my bill for that they said.

i've actually been having problems as well.

my sister has the tmobile blackberry, and everytime i try to reply to her text messages, she tells me she just gets a bunch of symbols. and a friend with a sprint PCS vision says he recieves a pop up stating that i am trying to send him a download...

i dont know what's going on, but it's frustrating

im still down. cant text TMobile or Verizon from my Sprint Treo 700wx....Gonig on 3 weeks now. Called Sprint, and there is still no ETA.

It appears that I can text Cingular, and other Sprint users. This is getting very frustrating.

I just bought my Treo 700wx from Sprint this week. I am having problems sending text messages to anyone outside the Sprint/Nextel network...have any of you had any luck getting further information from Sprint? This is driving me nuts!

Durso, thanks for that link. It gave me a lot more info. However, one of the posts said that the problem is only affecting the Treo...not true. My wife has a regular cell from Sprint (Samsung A920) and it is unable to send text messages to Verizon....so it leads me to believe the problem is at least partially Sprints.

I guess I'm not alone in my frustration. I just bought this Treo and previous to that I had a Toshiba VM4050 with Sprint that had NO problems whatsoever with sms...which I depend on to communicate with so many of my contacts! I feel like instead of an upgrade I got a downgrade...but I love the Treo anyway and have been using it for various useful and nifty things...still, sms is basic and I say we need to give Sprint a piece of our minds. I have called them numerous times and got very mixed messages - some technicians said there was no outage and that I should return my phone...others acknowledged the problem and said they have no idea when it'll be solved. So if anyone gets a clear answer about this I would love to hear what it is!
