Hey Unkledude - thanks for the post in my thread - here's what a phone call got me -
I was on the phone with sprint last night and they said Wednesday was a national texting outage - but it was supposed to be cleared up. The technician did some typing and all of a sudden I got a text from him then one from my fiance, then i replied to her and she replied back. I told him it was working, then we hung up and it quit working again.
Im headed to the store today to see whats up.
When I woke up this morning the phone said "no network available, should it switch to world mode?"
What the heck, im 40 miles west of DC - pretty sure ive got coverage
