Recently got this refurbd curve as I ran my LG shine through the washer and dryer.

Question is the last 2-3 days I'm not receiving texts unless someone replies to a text I've sent them. Anyone else ever have this issue? Everything else on the phone works great and I do like it much better than the old phone.

Thanks for any help.

Probably so. But my soon to be ex wife has texted me 6 times and I haven't received any so she's called me pissed because she thinks I'm ignoring her.

This nagging is a problem for me. And what if someone I like tries to text me?

LOL, i know its not really that funny sorry to hear about that divorces aint cool.... But anyways sometimes if your cell is in an area of no service or is turned off when the text is sent it might not ever come through im not so sure its your phone if you still get calls and text replies.

I liked my BB when I got it, but it has stopped doing stuff that it used to do. I used to be able to upload pics directly to FB, but not any longer, I think it's a FB problem.

I do have one other problem with my BB that has always been there. If I have a voicemail that I don't listen to right away, when I get into the building I work in, I will get voicemail alerts over and over again until I listen to it. Sometimes up to 25 a day for a single message.

Haven't had any troubles with text messages yet though.

My next phone will probably be a Droid with the full slide out keypad so you aren't forced to text from a touch screen.

I had the same problem with one of my BB. I had to replace it.

Make sure you replace it while its still under warranty.

Like raspberries better. Blackberries are too seedy.

Wow more good answers!

Crackberry.com

I pulled battery (seems to se standard fix to every blackberry problem) and sim card then reinstalled battery and powered back up without simcard. Turned off reinstalled simcard and turned back on problem solved.

I don't dislike the phone, but it has gotten slower in a short time. And this was a temp. Fix for me as contract redo in august so well see about something different then.

I loved my BB curve (which Eric has had for the past year), but I refuse to pay $30 extra a month when I switched to AT&T to use all of it's features. He doesn't care about checking email and surfing the web, so that's why he doesn't mind using it. I was using his BB Pearl, but again..no internet, couldn't even get pic messages. I have an LG Vu that I pay only $10 extra a month for all the services that I would get for $30 a month extra with the BB.

I had that problem once with my curve and believe the battery removal was the key. Loved my Curve....got a Palm pre plus now that I like alot too.

I had the same problem with my BB Curve when I first got it. Temp solution was to pull the battery. After putting battery back in and restarting phone, I would get all my texts. It was a pain in the ass.

Nextel and Blackberry were aware of it. It wasn't just me it was happening too. They had a update within weeks that fixed the problem, but killed my phone. After 4 hours on the phone with a Sprint/Nextel tech who walked me through trying to fix it and an additional 3 hours at the Sprint/Nextel store, they deemed it offically dead. I had a $500.00 paper weight. Since I had the phone less then a month and it was their tech that walked me through the update to begin with, I received a new phone for free.

Wes's BB texts were fine at first. Then he started to not receive them. Did the update on his with tech on the phone, and it killed his as well. New phone for him.

The texts do work perfectly fine now. I do have problems with sending pics to Facebook. But that's not a big deal. I want to get rid of the phone though as the internet and all the bells and whistles just don't work well on mine.

LG Xenon.

It ain't high tech, I don't surf the web, but I do get the naked chick pictures that blacky sends me and I have never had issues with texts (though I don't text much).

Normally when my Blueberry quits sending/receiving stuff pulling the battery out and rebooting it solves the problem.

I'm on a network server through work so anything beyond that is usually my work network.

Don't know Kipp. He sends Wes a lot of naked chick pics too. Some other stuff too.
