I have been on the line with Sprint, and thought I'd run this past everyone.
My Blackberry has SMS on it. My company has some Motorola pagers via Verizon that most of the tech staff uses.

If they send my BB a text page from their Motorola, I can receive the page but cannot reply. Sprint says it is because a simple text message is a one-way message that doesn't include the "header" info, for lack of a better term. I can SMS other BB's great - they get the mesasge in a few seconds, they can reply to me, i can reply to them.

If make a new contact with that motorola pager number, and then try to page them, the only option is to "SMS #12345..." Can you send a simple text message from the BB?

Has anyone else run into this? I have the bulk of my fellow support teams with these text pagers, I have a BB since I'm the BES admin, and I got rid of my pager. If I can't reply to their pages, I'll probably have to get my pager back... thanks. p.s. we're running BB 7750's through Sprint, BES 4.0 w/Exchange, all handhelds v4.0...

It sounds like it's the iDEN network. Maybe this post will help.

have you tried #@teleflip.com to send SMS? There's a sticky at the top of this forum about SMS msging with a list of providers.

When I receive an SMS message, it has all the previous SMS messages tacked on the back of it. It's basically a log of all SMS messages I've received. is there a way to stop this? I want (I should say my users want) to receive a unique SMS message each time, without their old SMS messages tacked on to the bottom of it. Is there a way to turn this 'logging' feature off, or is this just the way it is?
thanks

I have a skytel pager doing a similar thing. In the skytel website I forwarded all pages to my BB via my BB email address. This makes all their messages come to me as . i can respond to them at . If you originate the message, send it to since they can respond to emails via their pager .

In BWC, this can be set in "message handling - do not include original msg". I don't know if this option can be set in BES though. You might want to check. GL
