No SMS Updates on Boost Mobile Since Friday 2-28-09
Twitter updates were coming in great and all of a sudden they stopped last Friday. I have exhausted customer service options with Boost so I am asking here.

Inappropriate?I am having the same problem. Called customer service today and they told me that even the unlimited plan doesn't include access to "shortcode" services like Twitter. That cost .50 per day extra.
AND Google won't send mobile alerts to Boost Mobile at all. Yahoo! doesn't work either but I am not sure if that is Yahoo! or Boost Mobile blocking those messages.
I have to say, I am extremely unhappy with Boost Mobile! My SMS/MMS messaging has never worked right and now they seem to be selectively blocking other wireless carriers messages and services.
Boost Mobile Sucks!
I’m angry, feeling scammed by Boost Mobile!

Inappropriate?I purchased a Motorola i425 a few weeks ago (March 09) and started with Boost Mobile on their $50 unlimited plan. While text messaging friend's phones has no problems, I have been unable to receive SMS confirmation text messages twitter (and Google as well). I still haven't received a response from Boost's technical support. Are SMS text messages from websites (are they different?) simply unsupported with Boost Mobile?
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Last Friday I was able to reverify Twitter and its been cooking ever since, texts have been instantaneous.
I have also solved the Google Calendar reminder problem by creating a filter that forwards any gmail from Gcal to my Live/Hotmail address. I then created a filter that texts me when I receive an email from Gcal. I get the sms text message at the same time I set the calendar event up so there is no delay.
