Problem with text messages

**wagonis** · 02-13-2012, 01:45 PM

Anyone else experiencing a delay or lack of text messages coming in? I haven't received any since Saturday afternoon.

Well, no sooner then I finish typing this thread...17 messages popped up that were sent between Saturday evening and this morning. Hate that!

Conspiracy! either that your phone was constipated but yea if i remember correctly you in the new port richey area perhaps ya are experiencing backed up network or something.

wagonis....do you do the whole ##626* thing? To refresh it on Metro's towers... that's what I do when I run in to that and it seems to help.

has happened once or twice on my HTC evo 3D, but it never lasts for a long time

Yeah, that's where I'm at but everyone else (wife, son, couple of friends) didn't have issues from what they just told me.

just in case others are having problems ever and in the future...

dial *228 and say roaming list (updates your prl aka the software that communicates with the towers.) check your programming (mdn, min, sid,) pull the battery for 5 minutes, have metro refresh your account in the switch (ideal to do while waiting that 5 minutes of battery pull, wait to put battery back in after the account is refreshed.) if after that it still is having issues have metro issue a trouble ticket. make sure to include any certain locations if it is location specific and not just everywhere. take note of the person you spoke with, day, time, ticket number, etc... if after the stated time from the trouble ticket number you are still having issues then have your local store email their asr with all your info to include the trouble ticket number, phone number, name on account, and pin on account (usually bday.)
