Just tested verizon and can't receive messages from that network either. Does it seem wierd that I can receive messages from all cricket users but no other service? What would make this possible? Can changes be made using the iphone configuration utility to solve these problems? APN Settings? I've been working on this myself and it's a little frustrating. A buddy of mine works on phones at some shop and claims he can get everything to work and load some sort of data pack to be able use cricket service and surf the web and still only have the most basic service cricket offers. He suppose to do it to my verizon iPhone that I use on cricket now. Been trying to get a hold of him and now he won't answer phone. What a tease!
