Tweet SMS repeated four times on T-Mobile USA

I have Suncom... soon to be tmo. I have been receiving many multiples.

I am also on Tmobile USA and experienced the same problem, but I think the issue is over now! I've never had problems before.

I am still having the problem today. It isn't over for me. :(

@rossdurham I am getting some spillover still from last night, but currently my tweets are going right through!

@nathanbrisk I sent a message about an hour ago prolly and it still has yet to post. I am sending and receiving messages completely fine via SMS with friends. It may be that a server that processes the TMO (triton) messages is behind.

@rossdurham I just did an SMS test in Phoenix and she rolled right through. Check again!

@nathanbrisk It did roll right through. However the reply you sent did not go to my phone, and I still have yet to confirm if the messages are repeating to me.

I called T-Mobile just now and they reset my phone and network settings and then after the reboot I lost ALL sms ability. I'm having duplicates being received and sent and I'm having SMS messages resent hours later. I may get a tweet via SMS now and get 2 copies of it and then 4 hours later I'll get another 3 copies of the same message. This isn't happening just with Twitter, however, as I'm having the same issues with BrightKite and other SMS services.

Isn't it ironic that T-Mobile is raising their per message SMS rates at the end of the month and the services is getting worse and worse leading up to it?

But isn't this different? I've never had any issues with Tmo before. Alltel seems to be the one with the continuing dupe issue!

Nathan, this is definately a T-Mobile issue (well, more appropriately it is probably an issue with the gateway service that T-Mobile uses -- which could be the same as Suncom which would explain the earlier reply). It can't be a Twitter problem if people are having the same issues with services other than Twitter.

Also, T-Mobile has not had a good track record for reliable SMS and they have been known to be idiots about it too....

I am making an assumption, but since SMS services are affected, but regular SMS is not affected, I say it has something to do with the services with Short Codes (40404 - Twitter). I have had issues with communication between my network and other networks but I have not seen it as an issue solely with Suncom.

@bblboy54 Oh I know it's Tmobile, I just don't think they're known for having this problem.

I had some SMS messages I sent to people on other networks that never made it to them but I haven't had an issue going to other T-Mobile phones so the problem doesn't seem limited to shortcodes but to anything outside of the T-Mobile network.

@nathan I've had the problem multiple times before. Its becomming a common place to me, actually..... the thing is it's never been this bad before and I think because it's more severe this time more people are seeing it that didn't see it before.

I have TMobile and don't get tweets at all...how can I change that?

My phone just started vibrating nonstop as if messages were being received--2 messages came through but the vibrating continues. Is this just me?

A friend of mine just got "Service is temporarily down. Please try again later" .... anyone who has been tweeting from T-Mobile for a while knows that message all too well

The only thing I get, if I send an update to 40404 is "This service is unavailable with your current service plan" ...or something that. So I have to update to update to the UK number. IS there anyway to fix that?

@DaintyVillian The issue in this thread is a T-Mobile USA issue, I belive. You probably want to look at http://getsatisfaction.com/twitter/to...

No, I do have Tmo USA. Sending to the UK number is the only way I can get my updates through, it won't accept the shortcode.

Does any of this help? http://getsatisfaction.com/twitter/to...

Not really =[ Thank you though!!
