    Hey,

    I'm a newbie to the site and just have a quick question that I'm sure a more experience BB user can answer no sweat....well hopefully..

    What is going on with the time settings, specifically in regards to SMS texts? Whenever I get a text, it shows on my list of texts as the correct time (central time just like my phone setting), but whenever I open it to reply or anything it always shows as eastern time (an hour ahead).

    I have my phones timezone setting set as central timezone and the source is blackberry time. I have tried updating time but it does not help..

    Any ideas from anybody? I tried to do a quick serch of the forums but it wasn't much help...If there is an answer I'm sure it's simple an I apologize

    Is your area code from a different time zone?
    Example...my area code is from South Dakota, I live in Washington. My phone setting is Pacific Time, but all my texts will show Central Time.

    Thanks for the reply,

    Yes my area code is in the eastern time zone, but I live in central...I guess I should have clarified.

    I figured there has to be a way for the messages to just "synch up" with your phones current time zone...seems kind of ridiculous if it can't.

    Have you found any solutions?

    Nope. I have called Verizon to ask them, they said it's just automatically synched to the default time zone of the area code.
    Sorry. It bugs me too.
