    None today, Sunday I had that problem for about a couple of minutes though. What phone are you using?

    Funny thing is, I can't even call Sprint to ask them what's up. I'll have to wait until I get back to the office.

    Nope, I sometimes get the "your call cannot be connected at this time" but it only happens when I call a certain number.

    Did you turn off the "phone connection" under system/connections by accident?

    I wonder if you need to do a software update. I have the A-900 and after I did the latest update, the phone worked alot better. Battery life was improved, the reception was better, the menus worked faster, etc.

    I'm not in Houston but I have noticed in my area, places where I have always had a decent connection I now have none. I am going to be dropping them next month, anyway. I got the phone because I was doing a lot of East-West traveling near 10, Now I am doing a lot of North-South traveling and I lose service about 20 miles North of my house.

    That's a bad ass phone. I'm looking into that one. Nah, all of my options are set properly. I've always heard of issues w/ SPCS, but I've never experienced any until now.

    Thanks, it is the first high-end phone I ever bought. Previously it was nothing but the cheap-assed phones. I really like it. I got it like 2 weeks after it was released and I had some serious issues, until Sprint started sending out software updates, which you can download and apply from the phone. Now, I love it. So I was thinking maybe that might be your problem.

    Alot of people think my phone is the Razor, but I actually like this one more.

    From my research, I conclude that A900 > Razr.

    It's for the stylus... I personally don't use it much though unless I'm typing special characters.

    this allows you to send messages, but will it tell you who sent the messages when you receive them?

    It's worked for me so far. When I get a text, it tells me the number or person it came from.
