    Default Not Receiving all SMS text


    So i got an odd issue.... I have not called CC because i would put money on it that i know more about this phone then 90% of the people that work for t-mobile.....lol.

    So whats happening on my G1 is that i am not receiving all my SMS text messages..... I can receive most but every now and then i a friend will be like a text you... but i never got the text..... And sometimes I will get the text a few or more hours latter... And some i will never get.

    Really im not sure that anyone will be able to tell me a solution for this.... I just want to know if there are an other people out there that are experiencing this same issue. If its just me then maybe i need a new SIM card.... i dont know....

    Ok so after dealing with this issue for a couple weeks now i called CC and what she told me was that the phone only allows 100 messages total in all threads in the massaging application and if i have more then that then the phone will not receive the text messages. I told her that was the most ridicules thing i have ever heard. She tried to tell me how txt msg are pushed to the device from the network and bla bla bla but you could tell she did not really know what she was talking about. I told her that there are time when i would have over 600 msg in one thread let alone the entire messageing application and i would still get my msgs, but there might be other times after i deleate all them that i only have 50 to a 100 and i will not get msgs. I told here i would try to keep my messages low and see if that worked... Even tho i have more or less done this allready. So right after i get off the phone i deleate all mgs and even power cycle the phone... well guess what... i still didnt get most of the new messages that my girl was sending me. what the hell t-mobile/google someone has to get this fixed. Im going to try and make t-mobile send me a new phone if no one else has this issue.

    So do most people keep there messages under 100 or not?

    Ben, I am having the same problem u are, I receive about 90% of my texts but I don't find out I am not receiving the other 10% until I get a msg like "hey, y r u ignoring me!?!?"

    I see that you are from the Kansas City area, so am I! I wonder if it has something to do with our coverage? I love this phone, I think it is fantastic, but this msging issue is very frustrating.

    I have looked for other possible ways around this, I wish I could send and receive these text messages over WIFI instead of radio (other than instant messengers and tmobile@home) just to see if my issues clear up

    I dont have any problem with this at all. 80% of the time I have full bars tho. Are you in a weak area?
