First I called HTC and T-Mobile more times than I’d like to admit, trying to figure out what was going on. That wasn’t enough information for things to click into place in my head. Whenever I responded to a text message conversation thread, the text didn’t go through. Whenever I selected the recipient’s number manually from my contacts, the message seemed to go through. Lady friend was not too pleased!Īt first, I though the problem was related to the fact that I was using my Verizon phone on a non-Verizon carrier (in my case, T-Mobile).
WINDOWS 10 SKYPE MESSAGES NOT SENDING WINDOWS
I ran into an annoying bug on Windows Phone 8 that I have be struggling for weeks which prevented some (seemingly random) text messages that I sent to never arrive at their destination. The ProblemĪnyways, this post is not about the pros and cons of various Windows Phone models. I am not a big fan of how huge the Lumia 920 is, so the size and weight of the HTC 8X is just right. I discovered that the Verizon HTC 8X comes factory unlocked, which means you can use it on any provider. For example, the Lumia 920 is pretty much impossible to get unlocked, unless you want to pay hundreds more than the shelf price and get one off of eBay. Why? Well, overall it’s rather hard to get a new Windows Phone that is SIM unlocked (you can use it on an GSM carrier). They actually let me play with a Nokia Lumia 800 for three months and I got hooked.Īnyways, I built up the nerve (and excess capital) to buy a smart phone and decided on an HTC 8X. So, I kind of felt obliged to get a Windows Phone… just kidding. Last spring, I was an SDET Intern at Microsoft and I working the Windows Phone designer for Visual Studio and Blend. You can find this option in the Settings > applications > phone menu. If you are having trouble with your Windows Phone not sending texts (SMS) properly, try making sure the International Assist option is turned off.
