Boost Vows to Fix SMS Issues by May 7
i had this same problem with metro a while back
Guess its just a matter of a large growing number of subscribers..hope it gets fixed soon.

No it isn't. It's due to the Nextel's network handling of text messages through MMS instead of a true SMS gateway. Hit up any Nextel forum and you can find multiple entries through the years complaining about text messaging.

It's because Iden wassnt made to sms texting or mms that's the problem and this is why sprint was so dumb to buy nextel

It's all about implementation. Southernlinc is an iDEN carrier in the US that does not have the SMS issues Nextel does because they implement a true SMS gateway. You're right in regards to iDEN not being well suited for MMS due to the horrible data transfer speeds.

I always hated texting on Nextel just because of the way that they have it set up! It always annoyed me when I read a generic Motorola user's manual for an iDEN phone with references to SMS built into the phone, only to have Nextel not implement it.
And yeah, Nextel SMS has always been a crapshoot, even on the postpaid side. 😡
