does anyone else get a TON of message not sent notifications? I get them a LOT. Im a big texter and clear the conversations frequently because ill build up 200+ a convo rather quickly. But its so aggravating that i keep getting this error over and over. My iPhone sent the message EVERY time and never had an issue. Yes they do send with a little time but thats not the point, it should NOT be doing this.

yes, it happens to me. At least once or twice a day. not a big deal for me, but maybe you can call t-mobile and see if everything is provisioned correctly.

I get that as well from time to time. It seems to be only when I'm in certain areas though. I think its probably more of a network thing than the phone. certain areas may not have as many text carrier channels as others so its like getting a busy signal.... the phone will keep trying to send it and when a channel frees up it will go through.

I suppose it could be a bug with the phone but you'd think we would have heard more about it by now if that were the case.

what i do is just open a task killer lol, and i kill messages, so it will restart itself.

Some people say that all task killers cycle themselves, but I disagree, I believe they only kill the task once. But then again I also kill the task killer itself whenever I'm done so that might be a reason.

Task killers are very useful to kill a single task, its auto killers that are the problem. Sounds like you are using it correctly.
