    Has anybody else had problems with Nextel's text messaging service? Within the past few days, I have been recieving text messages 3-days after they've been sent. I've had the problem before, but I'd get the text messages a few hours late, not days. So I emailed Nextel and I stated getting the messages on time and the problem seemed to be fixed. Does anybody know what's going on and/or why I'm getting texts so late?

    And my other ? is, why are my texts coming in as a Net-Alert (in the Two-Way service), why don't they show up in the regular text message inbox?

    Thanks!

    ...SOMEBODY HELP! Is Nextel even working on this problem?

    I don't know about the delay but all of the new phones will start using the sms style text messaging with any inbox like you are speaking of. the i860 and i265 both have it and all new models will have it.

    Am I going to have to buy a new phone, or should I just try calling Nextel? (I have an i730)

    We are having issues with the text messaging - they know about it- they are trying to upgrade some of the services- no extra cost-but it should be fixed with a week or so- if you are trying to text someone and it give you and error message it the * key and it will bring you back to the perv. screen it's a little frustrating but you can get them to go through, also check your notifications under setting and then phone calls - make sure it is set to recieve all- hope this helps

    you are thinking of multimedia messaging, the sms text messaging rates are exactly the same as with the web based text messages.

    This has been going on for quite some time now. Nextel has been saying for months that they are working on it but have yet to see any change.
    HERE is another thread about text messaging.

    Text messaging

    My phone stopped working text messaging all together, so I called nextel to activate text messaging, and about 24 hours later it started to work again
