Help Cannot receive texts from iPhone users

[jwoo]

I gave away my new number to everyone...only to find that all of my iPhone friends cannot send texts to me. They get this error:

"1443xxxxxx Error invalid number. please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code.

It looks like I'm not the only one with this problem either:

battery pull reset, then update prl?

Nice user name. I'll try it.

I tried that, and it didn't help.

Is anyone else here able to receive texts from iPhones?

Should I call Sprint about it?

 

[tjwoo]

Haha, just noticed your user name. Nice
Yea, you probably should, or visit a sprint store and bring your iphone friend with you.

and have him check his antenna! (jkjk)

All of my friends with iphones have no problem sending me anything. Works fine for them but I have had the same number for years on sprint.

Right now, I can't receive texts from anyone. So frustrating. Whenever I send a text, they will get the same one numerous times. Everything was working fine until this morning.

Btw, I've tried using the stock app and chompsms. I've already done a battery pull. Same problem.

The person I text the most is an iPhone user and no issues for either of us. I would definitely contact Sprint.

Able to Update Profile without error?

Same here...no problem with texting iphone users.

Maybe its because their crappy antenna is not allowing the text to go through???

I contacted Sprint, she thought it was an ATT error.

Well, I ended up getting a new number again. I didn't mind. I'm fine now.
I guess I just got a bad number the first time..
