730 suck for txt the 860 is alot better but not perfect. try having people send you a txt with the entire address not just your phone number......

this happens to me all the time..i have an 860 and with t-mobile and cingular customers, it takes 1-2 hours to get a text message....but i've noticed that i get texts from verizon customer a lot quicker...almost instantly.

i got them on time when i had my 860, but fell off my clip and got ran over my a car (no insurince) so i had to get a 730

Heres what did, i told everyone to txt me 2 hours earlier than they normally would that way I could get the txt seemingly right on time. In all seriousness dont expect instants txts with your nextel, it wont happen very often

There is nothing that can be done, its the same way with all phones.

so what sould i do just tell nextel and have them send me a knew phone

This is a known problem w/ NXTL TXT Messaging.

ive been having problems with my 730 everytime someones sends me a text message i dont get it till like a
hour or 2 later. is anyone esle having this problem or does anyone know how to fix it

thanks
