I'm having a problem with the texting on this phone. When I select the Messaging icon it indicates that the texting is initializing. It's been initializing for two days. When I try to update the software it says that it can't connect to the server....

Hi Randall, hope this helps. I did a search on Google for your particular error and there were a couple of possible links: http://www.helpowl.com/q/Pantech/Technical-Support/pantech-link-wont-let-messaging-try-says-initializing/159897 - 'I JUST solved this a few seconds ago. On your phone go to reset -&gt; click "Master Clear" -&gt; Then Reboot. :) Make sure that you have all your numbers saved before you rest' http://www.askmefast.com/What_do_i_do_when_my_att_pantech_phone_keeps_saying_initializing_message_when_i_try_to_start_a_text_message-qna2095222.html http://forums.att.com/t5/forums/forumtopicprintpage/board-id/gsmgprs/message-id/41034/print-single-message/false/page/1 If all else fails, as, the other user said, may be that the phone is faulty. Let us know if you get through. Cheers Inshan

Hi I had the same problem, so I called the vendor and he send me an unlock-code. But the whole thing looked suspicious. So I called HTC and let them check the IMAI or what ever that phone code is called. They told me, that the phone is not new but refurbished. So I called AT&T and let them check again and they confirmed. The vendor gave some weird excuses. I send the phone back on the same day i received it. I felt screwed and ribbed off. If I were you I would do the same.

Yes, I have had this problem. Whenever I get it, I just ask the sender to shorten the message. It isn't often a problem though. I have had two of these phones. The only problem I've had was only with the SECOND phone. The keys made an annoying clicking sound, making a discreet text impossible. I didn't have this problem with the first phone though, which I found odd. Both phones were purchased new. I would make sure the keys are guaranteed not to click before I purchased another one.

I just purchased this phone and it is doing the same thing. It worked for 5 minutes after we charged and then it went into the System is Starting mode and will not connect to Skype. If we reset the batteries, it will connect to Skype, then disconnect after 5 minutes. We have the latest firmware version and can't figure out what the problem is. I've emailed Philips, but if we cannot figure out the problem, we'll have to send it back. I really hope it doesn't come to that because I really want it to work!

It said it was globally unlocked. Only problem I'm having trouble sending and receiving mms messages.

You could check with your local phone company to see if there is a problem. There could be a problem with the phone itself, try calling the number in the book for help.

I have never sent a text message. However, the menu has an option for something called sms. Under that option is a selection for new message.

The phone suck and I had the same problem. The phone works on a Saturday 1G so it is impossible to download anything. Get another phone.

I am having the exact same experience. I have tried everything. There is no logical explanation other than the phone is defective. If you find out a way to make it work, post the solution here please. I will do the same.

I've actually heard of ppl doing that. I know that you'll be able to text and make calls but the data won't work unless you manually configure the phone settings. I've never done it so it might be a pain. I'm not exactly the nerd tech type but here's a link that may helphttp://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

I NEVER GOT TO USE THE PHONE AT ALL! It's so annoying because I was so excited with this phone. I'm forever stuck on starting up system mode and no matter what I do (unplugging the base, de-registering, restarting, etc), I never get past that starting up mode! Philips wasnt any help either. I'm so disappointed :( Anybody got a solution for this>

When I tried to use my phone to text - it stopped the charge. I think I remember the instructions hinting that during charging you shouldnt plan on using the phone

It's a decent phone. I loved everything about it except for two major things: 1. The keyboard. Sometimes when you're typing, you had to press really hard on the virtual keyboard to get it to register your touch. 2. Sometimes, when people would text me, I would get their message twice, or not at all. It drove me nuts. Other than that, I loved this phone. It took great pictures to suit my needs, calls came in clearly & the display was clear. I don't know if these issues were to my phone specifically or if its something that happened on other's, too. But good luck. If you can, I recommend the iPhone 4, honestly! I got it for free from Verizon & it works flawlessly. It was brand new, too, & I bought it in July. Good luck! :)

Ps- check your APN settings. Also, if you downloaded a msg app, be sure to set THE ONE YOU DOWNLOADED as your default. If that doesn't work, try deleting the new app and using the stock one, being sure to chk settings. Hope this helps!
