Re: [Boost Mobile] Text Message Problem on i275 in Cellphones, Providers, and Plans http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r17552139 en Wed, 25 Nov 2009 09:39:58 EDT Wed, 25 Nov 2009 09:39:58 EDT Re: [Boost Mobile] Text Message Problem on i275 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17552139 Boomerang86 : You're not the first Boost customer to need to be turned over to Nextel CS to resolve a text messaging issue, unfortunately. I was there a couple years back. Then the issue was a phone number change; they had me regenerate a security key on my i60c (there's a sub menu for that) which solved my problem. Try pressing twice (or pressing and holding) the MENU key and that advanced menu should appear.

I no longer have Boost (wife still does) because I wasn't getting my text massages reliably, sometimes not for a couple of DAYS! It must be an internal issue with Boost servers which the lowly level 1 reps can't help with.

AFAIK Boost is the only national prepaid left with no charge incoming text; I guess you really do get what you pay for.

NONE of the CSR's are knowledgable enough to resolve this.....They think putting me on hold and I will go away.

Problem started when I had to change phones from an i285. I chose to use an i275 I had around and different SIM. (SIM and phone were cancelled and released by Nextel and Boost)

Called Boost, an EXCELLENT lady in CS did a FANTASTIC job! Took SIM # and IMEI number, did a master reset and reboot phone, all is good there. No problems getting calls or DC.

The problem is getting text messages via the web site or via the email

If I goto NEXTEL's site and send a message via the web form it comes thru as a SMS, fine.

Going to Boosts site to send a text or to 1234567890@myboostmobile.com email results in the error message below.

Any one have an idea on how to resolve this???? Who I can speak to? CSR's and supervisors were a waste of my time.

Boost's firm answer is to tell me that the phones are imcompatible....OK. RIIIGHT! Its iDEN and its Nextels network.

Checking my.nextel.com shows my account:
