Ive had a blackberry since they were those b&w pager things, ive never had a single problem with any of them.

I just got the bold a few weeks ago, and something strange is happening.

Half of the time I will not be able to receive calls, it will go straight to my answering machine, I get a ton of dropped calls, and most notably, 9/10 text messages that are sent to me after 10pm will arrive sometime after 5am, or sometimes not at all.

For instance, I did a test last night: I asked a group of people on different networks to send me a text after 10pm, and I got them all at 5:44:44am.

I have called Rogers tech support a number of times. I replaced my old sim card, they reset their system or something, and even got a replacement Bold, but its still happening.

Does anyone have any ideas?

no joke, the service techs dont even know.. but it happens to me all the time as well..

GRRRR Today around 530 I tried to make a few calls and they all failed. also I had four calls go straight to VM Is it RIM or Rogers.... Changed my Sim right from the Hop. Also upgraded my os come on guys get your Crap together

I hate to say it but which OS you are suing will have little effect. 3G service demand a better than average signal. Poor or less than great signal is going to give poor service. I am using a Rogers Bold on AT&T in Jax, FL and they have excellent coverage which has resulted is zero dropped calls and I am on the original OS!

You need to tell Robbers to use that extra money they are charging for some more towers!

Exact same situation here, but in New Jersey. AT&T service, Rogers Bold unlocked by Horizon Wireless, original OS 4.6.0.125, and absolutely ZERO issues with it. Great call clarity, no drops, great battery life, fast GPS lock-in.

Reception is key, not OS.

Why are you using w@p?

This place is starting to sound like the iPhone forum!

What do you mean "key"?

I use w@p 'cause I use the offerings of my carrier (Just-in-time Bill check, monthly free music downloads, TV via HSDPA for free, Software offerings, News, personal RSS Feeds etc) they are free included in the Vodafone contracts here and that normally works great...

[greggebhardt]

Hmm, free is not that good if it does not work!

The Reception is key was for the original poster.
