Hi all,

First time poster here. I have been reading the forums and have not found this issue anywhere.

People send me messages to my #@vzw.blackberry.net account and the only issue I have is that if a Verizon phone sends me a message, I am not getting it, nor when I send them a message, they do not get it.

I receive blackberry emails from ATAT, Sprint, etc...and no problems. But, Verizon to Verizon, I get none and they get none.

Any help?

I know prior to my Verizon Blackberry, I would just enter the #, followed by @vtext.com if I was sending an email, and there was no problems.

Thanks!

Yes, I have to no avail. Weird...but I have tried everything, other than stopping at the Verizon shop.

1 other thing...I have my text messages turned off. Got tired of all my drunk friends forwarding pix, tm's etc late at night, so I figured I would use the Blackberry Email just for those I talk to and not have to worry about losing sleep at night.. haha

I've never heard of this function before, I just tried it and it doesn't work with me either.

[Truck123]

When you say function, are you meaning the vtext function, or Verizon to Verizon Blackberry email to someone with a Verizon non Blackberry?

I know in the past, I always used my personal email (yahoo) to talk to my X....and it worked fine.

[TheSultan]

I know of the vtext capability, my parents use it. But emailing "#@vzw.blackberry.net" is something I've never heard of before. And, I just tried it, and it hasn't worked (yet)

[TheSultan]

and by the way.....why don't you just use the email that's associated with the phone????

Even just the BIS email that you set up?

[Truck123]

My mistake. I am not using my number...I am using the BIS...it's my name and 4 numbers, then @vzw.blackberry.net.

My apologies

Agree, use that email...

[TheSultan]

lol now we have a different issue completely!

You should try using [email protected]

[Truck123]

When I open the desktop Icon on my BB, the address shows it as .net...

[Truck123]

I just sent an email from my work to my phone.

It was returned saying undeliverable when I sent it to .com, but it delivered the .net

[TheSultan]

my bad, guess I was thinking of the @bis.blackberry.com addy


I think the best solution here is just to use the email address you have associated with the device.

[Truck123]

Where can I find the BIS address?

The only email addresses on my phone are the vzw.blackberry.com and my yahoo. I am not familiar with the bis...

[rachel0179]

Have you called verizon? they may have to reconfgure something, my BFF has a vzw.blackberry.net account and has no issues

(((tags off to Rachel...I'm going outside to have a cigar!)))

[rachel0179]

I think he IS using the vzw.blackberry.net, its the one set up on BIS for his phone, thats his email, he just cant send or receive VZW to VZW

(((tags off to Rachel...I'm going outside to have a cigar!)))

I like a good cigar, only when I have been drinking LOL and thats not often anymore.

[Truck123]

I have not called VZW yet. I was hoping to get it hear before being on hold for an hour. lol

[rachel0179]

Id call them, considering its a verizon to verizon issue, somethings not set up correctly..

[Truck123]

Does Verizon have a live helpdesk I can get to online? Im working, and swammped with work...cant call right now. lol

[rachel0179]

I have no idea, check thier website for live chat.

[TheSultan]

They did at one point....I've found calling is better though, seems to take less time. Cause you ask the question in live chat and then they have to search the answer.

*611 is the place to go....you're calling PDA/SMartphone support, so they're not as swamped as the other services.

[Truck123]

Sounds good. I appreciate everyone's help.
