Why can't I get text-message alerts on my Optimus? Since I see similar threads, let me clarify: I'm talking about those automatically generated text-alert messages from the newspaper or whoever. When there's breaking news, I get a TEXT MESSAGE from the newspaper: "This major news story happened." Those ones. Where I enter my cell phone from a web site and I reply to text message to start the auto-generated messages. Why won't I get those messages? I thought these were supposed to be "smart"-phones: is there any way to get text-message alerts on a pre-paid Virgin Mobile cell phone? Any way whatsoever?
Again, these aren't e-mail alerts, and I'm not talking about text-message alerts about *individuals* sending me texts, but rather, this specifically pertains to *news/sports organizations* that auto-generate text messages you subscribe to. Is there any way to "force" or "fix" the Optimus V so I can receive these text messages?
