I'm having the opposite problem this weekend! If anyone sends me a text I keep receiving multiple copies of it, as many as 10 of each. It's doing my head in! Also my phone keeps telling me some messages received are corrupt.

I have a Sony Ericsson S700 and a 07841 prefix.

what about this problem i mentioned in my previous message:

with regards to my network signal, of all my friends with o2, i have to say, my signal reception is shocking comapred to them. i have a k700i, my friends have nokia's, is it a SE problem (not picking up a good a signal as nokia) or could it be because i got my contract from the internet and use a different network, my friends are both PAYG and contract.
is this just a coincindence or is there something in this?

I was getting same as you the other month on my Sony Ericsson T230. I would get the same text from a person twice then an hour or 2 later get sent the same text again. I still get 2 text sent the same now and again but its not as bad as it was the other month. Never had phone telling me some messages received are corrupt though.

Seems to have sorted itself today. Still don't know who the corrupt text was from though.

I did a little experiment using my old Orange PAYG phone. I sent my new number a message and requested a status report. Sure enough I received this message several times but no status report. Finally I received the report then the texts stopped. It seems to me that the network doesn't seem to realise the message has been delivered, so keeps retrying.

This started after receiving the corrupt message, so maybe that has something to do with it too.

Is there a common firmware revision on the K700i that people who affected by this issue are running? Mine is running R2AA003 and I have had no problems (touch wood). To find out your firmware revision you press >*<<*<* and then select Service Info -> Software Info from the service menu that appears. In the above instructions < and > mean to move the joystick in that direction. If you're running a firmware version less than R2L001 then you may want to think about getting it upgraded anyway as there's meant to be something like a 20% improvement in battery life between the original R2A001 and R2L001. Firmware versions go R2Annn through R2Znnn then R2AAnnn through R2AZnnn. Apparently the latest is now R2AG001.

Hmm, have just updated mine to R2AE033 online. List of firmware versions here on esato.org

I've had more problems with texts today. I've been sending someone texts, and she's been sending me texts, but we've not received any of them. We're both on o2.

I'm getting fed up of it now.

If I have one more day like this, then customer care will be getting an earful from me.

I'm still having text message problems.

I called customer care yesterday about it, explained the situation, and was told that it wasn't anything to do with my phone, but with the other person's phone.

Strange really, because when I called them at the start of December asking about the same problem, I was told the problem was that my message log at the message centre wasn't working properly, so they gave me a new one.

Do o2 know anything about their company's problems???

I'm fed up of O2 lying to us !

They KNOW there is a problem with the phone, and will now replace it like-for-like.

HOWEVER, you have to send your phone (no battery or SIM), to Sony Ericsson direct.

They won't sort you out a temporary replacement though - you have to do without.

I've had texts delayed by about an hour or two today... simply not acceptable compared with the service all the other networks offer.

Watch out if the good people at 02 customer servcies tell you to take your phone into your local O2 shop for repair.

They will not accept it at the shop !

I'm sure customer services are getting worse .......

I have been told mby O2 Online to take my K700i to an O2 shop for a replacement, however, they refused to accept it.
If Online C/S tell you to do this tell them no!

Same with me ... how frustrating ? I had to take a couple of hours out of work to go, as well.

Now promised a call back within 24 hours from an O2 call centre team leader type.

1 hour to go, then.
