Reason: not proper grammar
also check this out: go to Options > SMS Text > Data Coding what you got checked there 7 bit or UCS2, make sure have 7 bit checked and then hit menu Save, see now if it works, good luck
k well now the same thing has happend, well i has crunchsms but i uninstalled that but since then things have been wonky and not working properly, the reason i deleted crunchsms was because of the same reason that i wasnt getting txts
I'm on Bell and .545 and I don't have that issue. I don't use crunchsms so I'm not sure if its that but it does sound like it is. Did you do a battery pull after uninstalling it?

just got off the phone with bell they pretty much said its the device itself guy told me to send a txt to my self and i got it hes like yea its working than but im like its on some txts like theres a delay of couple of hours and on calls hes like well ,contact blackberry ahahah ihate bell the cutomer service sucks....
k well im gunna see if updating it to .743 will do anything hopefully that will fix it keeping my fingers crossed, bell really licks d**k for costomer service im kinda pissed off at that too.. -.- stupid canadian phone companies
Also try Options>SMS Text>Network to Send Over: Should be Circuit Switched PReferred or Circuit Switched Only. Packet Switched Preferred can cause delays as it will look there first for SMS messages, and Packet Switched SMS isn't used in North America.
ok well i updated to .743 and i think its workin it was on circuit switched only i changed it to circuit switched preferred too so it might be one of the too that made it work
k well i dont think any of those helped because i was txting a friend and she asked me if had gotten the txt she sent and i didnt so i was txting her again and randomly the thing which she sent before popped up in our convo, this is really frustraiting right now :@
Call Bell, have them connect you to RIM. If you call RIM yourself, they will charge you by the minute if they help you or not. If Bell connects you, there's no cost involved.
ok well, if i call them and i explain the situiation i heard they would send me a refurb and id have to send my old phone back but the thing is like the first week i got my phone i dropped it and its just the chrome bezel thing thats scratched up but would they say that they cant do anything because of physical damage?
Just update to the most recent OS for the bold 9700. Right now it's 5.0.0.743... And don't use crunchSMS, it's useless. I've had trouble with it too, people weren't receiving my texts. Other than that if it continues, call your service provider.
