I'm having missing text message on recievers end problems.
I just bought a new factory unlocked iPhone 4s and activated it on my existing AT&T account yesterday. I had been using my Treo 650 to text my girlfriend who has an iPhone 3gs on T-mobile. We've been texting hundreds of texts every month, communicating on a daily basis for the last 4 months to stay in touch as she is working accross country, we have not missed a single text message until today.
She sent me 3 at a couple hour intervals this afternoon and I recieved them from her and replied, but she did not get my responses back to her. We were able to text back and forth this morning, and then after we talked on the phone this evening I was able to text back and forth with her, but now we're wondering what has happened that its now unreliable? The only thing that changed is that I now have this iPhone 4s with the latest operating system.
I did a Google searches and found many posts from people that have iPhone 4s that are missing texts transmissions and receptions from all the major carriers. Some say its the carriers fault, others say its the phones fault, or the sim card itself, and some have had their phone replaced. Some said they didn't get any messeges at all, some said they got text messages but they had garbled characters, others got text messages but only after several hours later. Some said it was a problem of crossing between carriers, but others said it was also a problem within each carrier too, like at&t to at&t , verizon to verizon, etc.
I just got this phone, I paid a lot to get an unlocked phone so I could move carriers as needed if problems arised, but I didn't think I was going to be having problems like this with the phone itself!
Does anyone have any solution to this problem of people not recieving the texts messages that were sent? Is there some setting that would make it random? I hate these "it always works except when it doesn't" kind of problems...
