Problem with texts
My boyfriend has sprint with a M1. He sometimes sends me texts that I will never recieve. What is with that? Have you heard anything like that.

I have seen this issue several times. Most likely your boyfriend is sending yo a text without the area code. The area code has to be attached to the phone number if he wantes to send a correct text to you or anyone else. If the text doesn't go through, and gives an error, please inform me what it is, but I'm pretty confident it's the area code.

I concur. The most common problem with text messaging (SMS) is that the address lacked the area code, or NPA.
Phone numbers in the US are formatted as such: NPA-NXX-XXXX
The NPA is required for SMS to be delivered, even locally, even to/from the same carrier.

Honestly, you are right. In most cases, as long as it sends out from the phone, then its not his problem, its the recipient. However, let me lay this out for you...
Sprint-to-Sprint messages are handled by Sprint systems. Makes sense, right? That system is called the Bulk Messaging Gateway (BMG). Intercarrier messages obviously cannot actually be delivered by Sprint, since we are dealing with another provider's network at that point. Hence the creation of MetCalf (aka the InterCarrier Messaging System, aka ICM). The ICM hands messages over to other carriers for delivery. Thats really its only job.
The whole reason that I went thru that explanation is because at this point, if its not a problem on your end, this points to a problem wit...

And it pays to have him on yahoo messenger as well 🤣
