I couldn't pay my Sprint bill for one and a half to two days after my monthly bill was due, finally got service turned back on today. I've never had this happen before and was just curious, do I still receive text messages that were sent while my service was down?
While it's not uncommon for me to not receive a text messages in a one or two day time period, I did send myself a text message through Google Voice before it was turned back on just to test this, and I never received that text or any other text that was possibly sent to me while it was down.
So any text I possibly got while my service was down is just gone? Is there no way to retrieve these?
Thanks in advance.
I'd ask Sprint, but I think they are gone.

Vodafone have recently been charging me for text messages, even though I'm within my limit.
I emailed them, and they said some texts/calls are chargable. One of the charges was for "Picture messages, long texts etc"
Now, I often do send long texts (although I always have done and have never been charged before...)
My question is, does the Hero split long texts up into two messages on the recipient's phone, or does it send it as MMS?
Wassup Looie..
If they go over a cetain limit... i think its 4+ texts.. it will convert it to a MMS and sent it that way instead of 4 split texts.
I just tried texting some1 with 4 pages worth of text.. and it refuses to send i dont think i have MMS set up. But i remember sum1 text me a long message, and i recieved a 1kb MMS msg instead of texts. So maybe thats why they're charging u!

yeah, I've never sent a text message over 4 texts, especially not 30 times!
Guess I'm going to have to ring up again
Thanks
Anyone else have issues with texts sometimes not sending and then suddenly sending a bunch at once?
I don't notice it on my end, and this comes when I use handcent since I have GV forward texts to the phone and have notifications turned off for GV on the phone.
So even though my phone shows the text as sent there have been multiple times when people will receive 10 or so texts at say 5 am.
Then today I just received 2 that were sent on sunday but they even just arrived in GV as well as the phone.

I've experienced the same issue. Also have GV enabled but am using a stock ROM and the stock messaging app. Very odd behavior. Stock message app indicates the sms was sent, but GV and the receipt have not received.
At some future point in time, sometimes a few days later, the SMS will be correctly sent and GV will show and receipt will receive. Haven't been able to narrow down the issue. Very odd bug.
I would speculate its either related to some delay between Sprint and GV or some delay on our device ... My friend has no issues with their NS4G using Sprint and GV so that leads me to think its related to our specific device ...
Any other information anybody has gathered could help us narrow the issue down?
I'm not on stock, so it's not rom specific I guess
I get the same exact text usually within about 5 minutes after I get the first one. It's not all from the same people and they have different carriers. It's also completely random, sometimes on wifi and sometimes not. I suppose that people could be messing with me, but I'm not big on conspiracy theories. I'm using the stock messaging app. Any idea what is going on? Any fixes?
Edit: The duplicate messages show the same time as the original as well, even though they show up like a new message like 5 minutes later. Wtf
also have the same issue sometimes it more than five mins couldn't bother getting duplicate text messages.also i figured my wife wouldn't be sending me duplicate messages and when i checked her phone she had only sent it once. so just decided to download a anti-sms bomber app and has been doing the job for me
its sprints network.
Ya never had a problem until I got the evo 4g lte. I get the same messages about 50x and it last for up to 4 days. I am still getting text from my mom and she sent that Monday morning. What is really weird is it only happens with text from my wife and mom, it doesn't happen with any of the other 200 contacts I text.
Today I just noticed when I used Google voice for incoming and out going text. I got all my text messages, as well as all my messages were sent. However, when Google voice received a text, the stock text messenger still has yet to receive the same text..... WTF

That's because Google Voice uses data (3G, 4G or WiFi) and it's usually a push service so you receive it right away considering no problems with your data connection. Text messages, MMS and voice calls don't come in through the data band but instead through the voice band. So if Sprint's network is congested or it was a bad activation by the Sprint rep you'll get things late.
I recommend everyone to reprovision their phones, I had this issue with mine the first couple of days, resprovisioned it, and no issues at all since.

Help with reprovision? Guessing it's ##3282# or something?
Edit: nevermind, found a how-to here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-evo-4g/140727-how-re-provision-my-evo-need-help-3.html
I send text messages daily. I am having problem. I have a friend where every time i send a text she doesn't receive it, but every time she sends me a text I can get them but she doesn't get mine. She is on ATT, and I send a lot of text to people on ATT. Any ideas?

Did you try rebooting your phone?

We're gonna need more information.
-You're saying that everyone else you text gets your messages?
I had a similar problem where I wouldn't get any texts from my girlfriend, I had to wait a week for them all to come. I never figured out what caused it.
Lately I seem to be having an issue with my EVO. It seems that whenever I restart my phone, it sends out ghost text messages to people. The first time this happened, I was having issues getting my pandora to play. So I did a hard rest on the phone and once it came back up, I started receiving a bunch of texts from friends. At first I thought maybe my phone got hijacked or something but came to find out that it was just sending the last txt message I had sent to that individual. Over the next few weeks, this same process would repeat. Once with someone that was in the car with me who could clearly know I didn't just send her a text.
This doesn't send it to everyone. I cannot determine the who/what/why and where, which leads me to why I am here.
I have tried contacting Sprint on a different issue today; for about the same time period I have not been getting notified of new voicemails. If I call into my voicemail, it will sayd I have X new messages, but no notification of such. Sprint said they would restart both my voice and text service. Had me turn off the phone while doing so. Once I brought it back up, low and behold, I started getting texts asking what I meant from folks. So it is still sending these texts. These texts do not show in my sent list.
I am using Go SMS Pro currently but have also tried Handcent in the past and still had the same issue.

Long ago when the OG EVO was just about to reach the EOL It did the same. I was using GO SMS too at the time. I switched to the default messaging app and it never happened.Have you tried using the default messaging app? All go sms does is piggy back off the messaging app. Once you receive a message it goes straight to the default messaging app then go SMS. Try using the default messaging app for a few days and update us if it still happens.
