View Full Version : SMS quality in Chicago

Just moved to Chicago. Voice coverage has been good, no problems so far. Wish I could say that about SMS. Everytime I try to send a text, I'd say 95% of the time I have to resend the message as I get a "System Busy" error. It usually goes out on the 2nd or 3rd try but a couple of times I had to try several times before the message gets sent.

Are you in downtown or a suburb? I'm in a suburb and I haven't had any problems with it.

Im downtown during work hours and on the south side at home and i dont have many issues with sms. the only time it takes a while to send is close to lunch time and close to exit times. other than that, no issues.

where are you in the city? if yiu are in the loop, are you in a high rise?

Had the same problems on the Northwest side by Harlem & Irving. It will usually go through on the 2nd attempt. Disabling Vision helps a little.
