AT&T and Verizon customers... - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Does anyone with either of these services have problems sending or recieving texts between both companies? My girlfriend has Verizon and I have AT&T, and sometimes I won't get her texts till hours later. I think it goes both ways, too. Sometimes we don't get eachother's texts at all. It's really freakin frustrating.

Scapegoat · 09-03-2008, 11:30 PM

i think my buddy has verizon... i have t-mobile and its taken an hour or more sometimes, on occasion, for him to get a text

240sxDann · 09-03-2008, 11:30 PM

you know now that I think about it, yea same problem. My cousin has verizon, I have at&t, and yea same thing. I thought it was just his phone.

the4g63 · 09-03-2008, 11:32 PM

Another friend of mine has T-Mobile and every now and then, it't the same story. The worst part is that if you call tech support, they just point fingers at the carrier you're having trouble with. Stupid.

james_ls · 09-03-2008, 11:32 PM

I'm a T-Mobile customer, but I TOO have had cross-network issues RECEIVING Verizon text/picture messages.

the4g63 · 09-03-2008, 11:35 PM

Yeah. Pix messages are effed as well. I cannot sent them to anyone with Verizon, and it took 3 hours for a friend with T-Mobile to recieve one from me.

DPancoast · 09-04-2008, 01:20 AM

YES. I have AT&T and my friend Matt doesnt get my text messages until WAY late. and he has verizion

lownslow95 · 09-04-2008, 07:36 AM

I have verizon and I haven't had any trouble with sending/reciving text messages. I had AT&T and I couldn't send/recive text for **** the last couple months I had it.

2drStunner · 09-04-2008, 07:40 AM

I have verizon and whenever I send to Sprint it takes forever and even longer if sprint send to me.

ZeroCSS · 09-04-2008, 10:01 AM

I have Verizon and have had this problem as well. It would occasionally not receive/send texts or it would receive/send hours later. From what everyone here is saying, looks like it is on Verizons end.

jdm free · 09-04-2008, 10:12 AM

i dont recieve messages right away from tmobile users and i have verizon. but i never have a problem wit at&t

Loserkidwac · 09-04-2008, 10:15 AM

I have have Nextel/Sprint, my roommate has At&t and yea sometimes he won't get my text forever...my Ex had Verizon and same deal sometime she wouldn't get them or get them forever later...

TGilb2007 · 09-04-2008, 10:39 AM

Havent had issues sending/recieving from my friends Sidekick, and I am on Verizon as well. The worst I have problems with is Sprint. My roommate has it, and I can text him, and it takes a while for him to get it.

Other then that, the only other issue I have is my phone has issues getting Pix messages, it doesnt viberate/ring, though the phone is set up to. Been like that on both of the LG phones ive had.

Fazeshift · 09-04-2008, 03:16 PM

I have both Verizon (personal) and AT&T (business). My g/f has AT&T.

Yes, I'll get massive delays of pic messages going between an AT&T phone and Verizon... particularly when receiving pics from her on the Verizon phone. This doesn't seem to apply to text-only messages... those are near instant for me. I'm not sure which carrier (or both) is at fault for this. To be honest, AT&T's network seems to be piss-poor in the South Jersey area... service for my business phone is bad to the point of being useless in my office building... every other call is dropped.

DC Hunny5 · 09-04-2008, 03:47 PM

it just seems like some days it messes up. I'm on at&t but almost all of my close friends are verizon. some days it'll go right through, other days it won't go through for a half an hour or so

omgjacki · 09-04-2008, 04:20 PM

I have Verizon. I've noticed it most when I text people with Sprint. We either don't get eachothers' messages at all, or we get them late. I've noticed it with other companies as well, but I don't believe I've had issues texting to AT&T at all.

My girlfriend and I used to have the same EXACT problem! It was the most frustrating thing ever!!! Especially some of the pics she was sending. We eventually gave up and she got Verizon like I have and haven't had problems since.

**auk113** · 09-04-2008, 04:57 PM

i have ATT and t-mobile no issues here

omgjacki · 09-04-2008, 04:59 PM

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's Verizon's (Most Reliable Network =

) issue.

JerseyTuscani · 09-04-2008, 05:02 PM

i actually had two customers come in with this problem last week. I work at a At&t Tech Center and yes this problem does exist. I even tried exchanging out the phone for the customer and the same problem occured.
