Help Problem with texts

[thatperson]

I am trying to play the hagerty fantasy bid on speedtv. What you do is text in what you think a certain car will sell for and get points. My problem is that all the texts I send from my DX don't register. I have a second regular phone, (LG Cosmos) and it works just fine with that one.

I know it's not going through for some reason because after making the bid, you get a confirmation text back and another to tell you your point and I am not getting either. I am using GOSMS and have also tried the stock text program and neither work.

Thanks for any help.

I've run into this situation myself in the past, and would love to know what's up with that.

I noticed that when I send a text with numbers in it, the numbers become clickable and take me to my dialer and wants to dial that number. Is it possible that because my phone does this, the text is sent as some kind of link and not just plain numbers?

Well, incase anyone is still interested I have an update. I was using GOSMS while having this trouble, but I have now installed Handcent and the trouble is no more. Guess it has something to do with the way GOSMS sends texts.

I haven't tried it since going with Handcent, but that's good to know!
