Message Recipt Failed?????

mexidev

Feb 24, 2005, 1:23 PM
I am getting this error when I am trying to send myself a ringer that I made. I am changing the ringer to .mid, 64 kbps stereo, and making sure that the file is no larger than 250k. Every time that I try it gives me the message receipt failure. I send it to a 7000 and it works fine. I need help, this problem is starting to p**s me off. This phone is supposed to be the greatest, but my girlfriends 7000 can receive the ringers and this phone can not. Do I need a new phone? or a software update? Help Please ☹️ ☹️ ☹️ 😢 😢

if you just got the phone the same day, wait 24 hours. something happened with my 8000 that i couldn't send myself ringers untill the next day. also make sure you have good signal, try to go to a place in your house where you have atleast have 3 bars. and the ringers can only be max 30 seconds long. hope this helps 😁

the first three or four worked but anything after will not, I even sent one to a 7000 and then had that phone forward it to me and then it worked. I am so mad at this phone I am thinking of getting my 7000 back.

Thanks I called verizon and was credited back for all of the picture messages that I used trying to make it work, you should try to see if you could get compensated.

I had a similar problem. The phone did not like the attatchment from the email program I am using. So I tried it from a yahoo email address using the web pages and it worked.

So i suggest trying another email program or just use yahoo mail as a number of us have used it successfully.

That is what I have been trying also, but lately I have been getting this error so I will try this when I get off of work and see if the change of email providers will affect this error.

Hey I got this same error and here's how to fix it. You have to have either VCAST or be on some other (free) network I think its called 1x to be able to send and recieve pix messages. So call Verizon CS and they have to change it for you.

This is what I did to my 7000 when it was doing that. Go into your message settings and change the setting from your txt-callback # to off. don't turn it on. that's the way mine was fixed.. don't know what that was about. but it worked. hoepfully this works for you all.
