SMS time stamps wrong

Al_Ice
Great Neighbour / Super Voisin

I use a Nokia ‘dumbphone’, which I love! I purchased it unlocked, so it’s not a Public Mobile phone. 

 

Ever since I switched to Public Mobile, the time stamps on my texts are all wrong. The incoming ones are 3 hours ahead (EST) but the ones I send are current (PST). So when I read my texts, they are all out of order, which is pretty frustrating. 

 

I’ve tried restarting the phone, updating the time, manually setting the time, auto setting the time, changing all of the text settings.... nothing has helped! 

 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

 

thanks!

I was also going to mention the time zone setting as I have had this issue before even with manually setting the time.

 

Hope things get sorted out for you!

@Al_Ice try turning off the auto time update setting. Make sure you're on the latest firmware. Reboot the phone and test it out.  Good luck.

There must be some kind of manual time override set on the phone.  Go through the settings tab by tab.
