Something is up with text messenging...

Wow, first I see all these posts with text messaging problems today, then while I was visiting the local Verizon store, 2 of my geekbuddy store reps were dealing with customers having messaging problems. Similar in nature, messages were going to some people and not others and other messages going to the wrong recipients.

Fortunately, I've not had any issues yet. I'm using Handcent, by the way...

Odd.

Now back to laughing about the wooden stake and the garlic cloves circling DSW's phone...)

Thanks Gerio.

I have no text problems to report and I tested my X to my work phone.

Are there any details? Does it happen at certain times of day? Long distance vs. local numbers? Numbers in Contact List vs. numbers entered manually?

No, I wish I did have more specifics.

I was just reading some of the posts on the forum today about texting problems, then I run into 2 customers at the Verizon store having texting issues. Got me to wondering. 

Neither I, nor the Boss, his wife, their sons, my daughter, my girlfriend's son, nor grandson have had any problems at all. Droids and Samsung feature phones. 

Probably nothing to it. I'm just thinking too hard, LOL

Android does have an SMS bug where texts will go to the wrong person (I think it is always someone else you have texted previously).  They are aware of it and working on it, but it seems as though it does not affect all phones, for whatever reason (they may have even found a fix, but it hasn't been pushed to all phones).  It seems as though the best way to avoid this is to use a third party app for texting.
