I got my upgrade and got a LG980 or some shit. Well, I can send text, but I'm not receiving any. I have been on hold FOREVER with these idiots. Anyone know what could cause this?hno:

They have the best Service ... but Not Customer Service

Wish I had kept my Iphone. Was looking for battery life and he said this phone has it. Why the fuck can't I receive a text? Annoying

they telling me because I went from iphone to LG, it doesn't us Imessage or some shit. BS. now they have me holding for apple. Said it could take 2-3 days to change over, WTF? I'm going to Verizon tomorrow and telling them to shove this phone and their plan up their ass. Going to Tmobile

T Mobile is horrible!!!!

 

[taylor13]

Keep your phone if you are going to Tmobile. You have to fork your old phone over and they give you some pocket change for it......ill bet you verizon gives you a deal you can't turn down if you throw a fit and use Tmobile offer to your advantage

The sales person didn't turn off your iMessage before doing the upgrade. Apples default "texting" is iMessage which is a data based system meaning it uses the Internet theough apples severs to text other iPhone users. I'll bet you will get texts from any phone that's not an iPhone or if an iPhone user has iMessage turned off. At that point it would be texting like all other noniphones.

Short answer is you are screwed for upto 30 days. To over simplify, once a month or so apple purges it's servers of all phone numbers that no longer have iPhones. Once they do that you will start getting text messages from everyone again. The problem is it could be 1day or 30 days. No way to know which server you were on or the last time it happened.

It won't change anything. Even if you went to tmobile the problem will follow until apple "clears" you. Just another way apple try's to control its customers

By the way, the G2 you got is a BEAST. The specs are great and battery is phenomenal.

He tokd me to call back in 48hours if it isnt working. I will never use apple again. I need text use from iphones, this is BS

 

[Betallsports]

For now just use this

If u have an iPod touch or I pad, u can still get your I messages.
