Receiving Text Messages as MMS

[freyes01]

Hello All,

Something weird is happening with my MDA (Rom 2.26), whenever someone send an email to my cellphone email (10digitsphone@tmomail.net) I receive the text as a MMS message instead of a Text Message and I have to download it in order to read the message.

If someone sends me an SMS I receive it as a Text Message. So the problem seems to be only when someone email my cellphone. This was working fine (received emails as Text Messages) few weeks ago and know it doesn't work anymore and I'm been charged 25 cts per message instead of 10 cts.

T-Mobile said that they don't know what is wrong and that I should "hard reset" my MDA and test again....

Do you have any ideas of what could be the problem? Any hacks?

Thanks
Freddy

There is a discussion about this issue in HF: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1037868

Does anybody here have the same problem?

I read your topic on HF and here and still have the same conclusion i had when i opened this topic and read your initial post... It is a T-Mobile network issue. The phone dosen't determine what an MMS or SMS is to the extent that it will convert one to the other. T-Mobile is sending you an MMS. Currently for me that is not the case. Maybe they are phasing out the SMS legacy support since pretty much every device now is MMS capable and this is starting in some markets.

Either way, no one here can tell you as we don't work for T-Mobile (though i can't speak for everyone so a T-Mobile employee might be lurking somewhere) and there is nothing you can do because there isn't a "problem" with your phone. Well you can call T-Mobile and complain; that is your best bet.
