Sms Messages Failing
Has anyone in Michigan or anywhere else noticed SMS message failures over the past 2 days? The messages eventually go out after the 2nd try, but I was wondering if anyone has any insight?

Been happening to me too. It'll sit at sending for quite some time and either eventually go thru or eventually fail.

Yup, pretty much all the SMS I send out takes at least 2 tries to complete. No matter where I am, no matter the phone or location, I have this problem. I'm in Detroit, BTW.

It happens every so often with my phone. SPCS is clueless on why it is happening? :-\

Haha I thought it was because I dropped my phone too much, but yeah I have been having problems with sms. It is taking much longer than usual, and failing many times.

Same in Hawaii!!! Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. UFO principle. Sometimes it's there, and sometimes it's not.
