View Full Version : Can't receive texts when someone replies to my text

If I send someone a text message they receive it fine. If someone sends me a new text message, I'll get it fine. But if I send someone a text, and they use the reply feature, I never get the message.

This is using a 700wx. I also did the online ESN swap and switched it to a Fusic and it has the same issue, so I'm pretty sure its network related.

It appears to be happening with any carrier involved.

Any ideas? Sprint CS just wants to continue troubleshooting the phone, even though the ESN swap shows that the same issue exists on different phones.

Just wondering if anyone else has ever run into this issue, and what needed to be done to fix it.

thank you! at least i'm not the only one going insane. Ever since last week sometime, I have had random text messages delayed anywhere from a few hours to several days. I had a suspicion that it was on their second reply...

for instance, it seems that when I initiate the back-and-forth, it will go like this:
i send one, they reply, i reply, and I dont get their reply.

if they initiate the back-and-forth, it will go like this:
they send one, I reply, I dont get their reply.

very disconcerting. Especially because it doesnt happen 100% of the time, and I still have my doubts as to whether it follows a specific pattern or not. Is this a network issue, and can I do anything to fix it/ get my texts sooner?

I have an A900, and due to my coverage, have to switch between roaming and sprint every now and then.

It turned out to be the phone. We activated an old phone and it worked fine. So we had the Treo replaced with the warranty and the new one is working fine.
