Not receiving text messages
I often do not receive text messages that people send to me on my 8130. Last night, I sent someone 3 messages and they replied to all of them, but I didn't get a single message. This happens frequently with my phone. Anyone know what the trouble might be?

You are running out of memory, just free up your memory. You can do this by doing some or all of the following:
- Clear your log (hold alt and press lglg>then menu key>select "Clear Log">confirm)
- Close programs you're not currently using (hold alt and back button) Some items will always be running like messages, phone, browser, home screen so on and so forth, leave those running
- Uninstall themes and programs that you are not using anymore (Options>Advanced Options>Applications) [Leave the following applications on the phone or you will have trouble: BlackBerry "Version # i.e. 4.2" Core Applications; BlackBerry System Software; BlackBerry Attachment Service; Browser; Help; Phone. The rest are if you use them or not i.e. Tasks; MemoPad, BB Messenger, if you don't use them then you can delete them without major problems on your phone)
- Move photos, music, video and other multimedia over to your disc instead on the actual BB device. Also delete ringtones that you no longer use
- From your desktop uninstall languages that you do not need
- Delete out your old text messages and emails, try to save them on your computer instead of your laptop (with email) or forward text messages that you need to your email then delete the actual text message
This should be a good start to clearing out your memory and start receiving text messages again along with your call logs showing up. If you remove an application it will ask to reboot, let it and then send a text message from online to make sure that you're up and working again. Then maintenance your BlackBerry about every week afterwards depending on your storing habits. Hope it works!Go to options/security options/firewall/then see if any of the options is checked,then uncheck them
Mine is doing the same thing
i just got my pearl two days ago, love it and have had no problems with it until now
i send somebody a text message and it will pop up for a split second and just go away
I have tried that and just about everything else--it actually DOES NOT work. I have heard that this issue is a result of a "memory leak" in the BlackBerry OS, but that there is currently no solution. Unfortunately I do not have a solution, but was wondering which service providers each of you use. Thanks!
Download the new 4.5 os for the pearl. this will fix any issues having to do with deleted txt messages and call logs. get it from blackberry's website.
the only solution to this issue is to download the new software for the blackberry pearl. 4.5. you can check what current version you have by going into options>about> itll say something like "v 4.3" or if you have current version you'll see "v 4.5". this new version will help you send mms as well.
