I recently purchased a thunderbolt, approximately a month and a half ago. It was working completely fine until about a week ago, when I started having issues with not receiving text messages. It can be resolved by resetting the phone, but there's no way to know whether or not I need to do that unless I'm in the middle of a text conversation and I suddenly stop receiving messages. I know my messages are going out because I can still communicate through facebook and other non SMS or MMS applications, and all other functions work properly, but this happens once or twice a day, and is extremely frustrating.

The problem persists regardless of whteher I'm using stock app, handcent, or gosms, I've tried all three to see if that resolves it, it does not. Like I said, the only way to resolve it is to reset the phone, but all the text messages that were sent to me never come through. I called Verizon tech support about this and their system showed those missing messages as delivered.

If you want, as a test download the SMS backup app and get it running. See if the messages forwarded to your email are the same as those that come to the phone.

I'm having the same problem. My Thunderbolt is a refurb I received when my first Thunderbolt died this past fall. I never had any SMS/MMS issues until very late February. The problem is that I cannot receive any text messages. Sending messages works fine, but I cannot receive any. If my wife sends me a message, her phone will say it goes through, but I get nothing on my end. This was a huge problem when I went 4-5 days without receiving any texts since I didn't know I wasn't receiving the messages.
The problem resolves itself when I reboot/restart the phone, but I don't want to have to reboot my phone every night. The most recent time, I went 2 days without any texting problems before the "can't receive" issue came back.
My Thunderbolt is STOCK (radio, ROM, etc.). I have no 3rd-party texting apps -- I'm using the stock messaging app.

i had a similar issue last summer. i installed handcent (free in the market) and it's worked fine since then. the problem would come and go and usually fix itself for a bit after a reboot.....but you never really knew you were missing them. rather than try to trouble shoot an issue that you can't even demonstrate when you want to, i just gave an sms app a shot and it's been fine since then. i'm not even positive that the app fixed it.....could just be a coincidence????
