Missing SMS messages?

[Farsquidge]

Hi. I am asking this question for my partner who has an iMate Smartflip and she always roasts me for not sending here texts when I know I have. (I have a TyTnII with delivery noti on).

It appears she sends an SMS to me and I answer immediately, her Smartfilp does not pick it up but if she receives one 'out of the blue' it's OK. This is also very hit and miss in the way it fails.

Just wondering if anyone else has seen this. Checked the Forum and can't seem to see anything.

Cheers.

BTW, tried the obvious and put the SIM card in a different phone and it works fine....

Doesn't she use any data connection (GPRS)? The SMS should be delivered even when are connected but I have experienced delays of messages (I recieved SMS's few hours after the sending even my phone was turned on).

No GPRS in use as it's a PAYG SIM. Just the standard service center number.

It's really strange, the messages are not delayed, just don't appear on the phone even if I send them and get back a delivery notification as if its getting certain data it can't handle.

It's probably been fixed in a HTC firmware update but you know how iMate are slow to follow...

You can install any firmware you want to. If it's not a problem for you/her I hope update (which wipe out all user data as well) helps you. The newest firmware from Cingular would be probably the best one. (I dont have phone from Cingular but Im using their fw so it must be the same with iMate)
