So for some reason i havent been getting text messages since this morning. I tried on my buddys phones and nothing has come through. In the signal bar it has great signal but under it it says GSM. i dont think im getting a data connection and i have been browsing through the phone for hours now trying to figure it out. somebody please help me

Try a hard reset of the phone. Pull the battery for 30 seconds. fyi...text messages still travel over the GSM network. In fact, whether you are in data coverage or not, it would still work...sooooooo...you should check with your carrier and make sure there's nothing wrong with your account.

Again. SMS has nothing to do with your data plan or data capabilities.

is there anything that could be causing it? like some settings on the phone?
