If you still need firmware with SMS for Sanyo 8100, contact me.

This is a lie. A scam. Sprint PCS will not send "real" SMS to an 8100.
It uses Shortmail, and always will.

You are just not know about that what you said. Firmwares 100% worked and tested by me and my customers. This is special modified firmwares maked special for Sprint PCS

Even if you're not lying, and the modified firmware does do SMS, if anything
happens to the phone (software-wise) in the future, I doubt Sprint would fix
it. If the firmware proves to be buggy, are you going to re-flash the phone
with the firmware it came with? Are you going to offer any other support for
the phone?

(Irrelevant, probably. I'm sure you're not telling the truth.)

SMS to a Sanyo 8100 is not possible. Partly because it's not the
phone's choice where the message goes. The Sprint network will not send
SMS to a Shortmail phone. Period. Zippy can flash Ubuntu Linux on the
8100 for all the system cares. The system will *still* send all "SMS"
messages going to an 8100 to Shortmail.

Period.

1,5 years ago i sold firmware with SMS for Sanyo 8100 for 2000$ to Korean refurbish company, this company sells refurbishing cell phones to USA. Also i sold some times Sanyo, Samsung firmwares for USA customers for 1500$(Sanyo 8100) year ago.

Now price much more cheaply and this firmwares still popular.

Also exist modified firmwares with SMS for other models like Sanyo 5150, Samung n240, etc, but i have only for Sanyo 8100, Samung a460, a500, a600

All firmwares 100% tested and worked. Yes, i know, price for this firmwares not for end-users, but this firmwares for commercial usage not for personal.

Well, Rob (O/Siris) used to work in Vision Tech Support at Sprint, so when
he says the *system* won't send SMS to a phone not originally equipped for
SMS, I believe him. And the Sprint 8100s weren't originally equipped for SMS.

Is there any point to you continuing to argue?

Ask about it customers who bought and uses this firmwares for a long time.... As you see Rob (O/Siris) not so good in technical questions.

This is Sprint politics, they not want sells phones with SMS, because they have own service. Other operators uses SMS without any problem, but you cant usage firmware with SMS from other operators (for example Bell - canada)) without modification. But this problem is solved long long long time ago..

He's never had problems giving me correct answers before. On the other hand,
you popped out of nowhere, I don't know you, and I have no reason to trust
that you know a damned thing about what you're discussing.

> This is Sprint politics, they not want sells phones with SMS,

Well, gee, this just *proves* you don't have a clue. With the exception of
one model, every phone currently in Sprint's lineup has SMS. Have you
forgotten that Sprint only launched true SMS around a year ago?

The phones that don't support SMS are older phones. Lessee. Sprintpcs.com,
Shopping... browse phones. Here we are...

Some of the phones aren't listed as being SMS capable on the "browse" page
but the details page for each phone lists SMS as a feature. 20 of the 21
phones currently listed for my US zip code, 92307, are listed as
SMS-capable. The only one that isn't is an older Samsung smartphone model,
the i500.

Even the no-frills, no-Vision, voice-only Motorola V60v and the no-frills,
no-Vision, voice-only Nokia 6016i are SMS-capable.

But that's right, Yo-yo, Sprint doesn't want to sell phones with SMS. :>

Thanks, Steve. I can't get across just how honored I am every time I
hear of someone valuing my experience like that. To me, that means more
than any raise or bonus a company could give me.

My experiences with CS have been mixed.

My experiences with Tech Support have been consistently good. Sprint's Tech
Support employees have been clued and helpful whenever I've called.

I'm just giving credit where it's due.
