I just got a Sony w600 and everything ias working fine except my text messaging. I can receive text messages just fine but the problem is when I try to send them. I'll set the name to whom I am sending the message and then type the message and then press send. It responds with a message: Sending failed. [Name of person] unknown recipient. This is also my first cell phone besides a Nokia. So if anybody knows what this means please help me out. Thanks.
Hell, I have had it for half a day and even though I cannot figure out the messaging problem I love it. It's like an Ipod and cell phone in 1.
That's the only way you can write messages on the w600 or at least it is the only way I've been doing it.
OK, I talked to a Cingular representative and they said I would have to do a new contract because my SIM card is ATT even though Cingular bought ATT, I received a message saying Cingualr is now my provider, and I am able to use Cingular's service with my old SIM card. I forgot to ask if I'll have to be approved or just sign a new contract. Do any of you know?
You should just have to sign a contract. Btw...I love that phones battery life. I have an unlocked Razr right now and when I get a new phone I'm getting the w600i (unless something better is out by then).
I found out the problem but I found out another problem that many w600, w800, and w900 users are having and it struck me and my phone actually had to be sent away to be serviced.
Is there such a thing? I posted on that other BBS that was posted in this thread and someone said the phone would have to be flashed, whatever that means.
