Is anyone else having trouble sending and receiving messages from Bell phone numbers??

No recent issues with receiving or sending texts. Uncertain if Bell numbers though. Regular texts(SMS) or picture texts (MMS)? Are you using iMessage (apple) or RCS message (android)? These services would require data or wifi.

What seems to be happening in your situation? More details would be helpful.

Sorry I don't think I know anyone with bell. Did you recently port in from bell? Are you only having an issue with text messaging?

Hi @Anonymous

Just curious, why do you always suggest reseating SIM card, APN settings, or forcing 3G for every single issue?

This confuses people and leads them down the wrong path to resolution. Wouldn't it be better to focus on the symptoms and propose targeted suggestions instead of rapid fire generalizations?

@sheytoon : It's called throw everything plus the kitchen sink at it and maybe something will stick. How can it not. It certainly seems to be a working strategy for the user judging by their rewards.

Like here's everything that might possibly fix whatever problem you have regardless of what all has been said or even what your post was actually about. Amazingly, all too often, the OP picks one of the items and gets working.

I think it's a terrible approach but hey it's working for them. Good luck getting any meaningful discussion out of them. They don't care.

Sigh.

@Anonymous it's almost as though you didn't even read or understand what I wrote. Because you certainly didn't address it...

@Anonymous Honestly at this point I'm wondering if it's an automated script that uses machine learning to reply and collect rewards without the account holder ever logging in.

Quite genius actually if that was the case!
