Receiving Calls and delayed Texts 

I am not receiving forty percent of my calls and text messages are delayed up to forty five minutes when I have full signal. People will try to call me and it will ring and then go to voicemail. It does not show that I have a missed call. This is my second instinct and sprint says my phone is passing all the tests. I had the katana before this phone and I have never had any problems with it. I can no longer return the instint because I am past my thirty days. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Re: Receiving Calls and delayed Texts

I've had some text mails delayed, but then again I have had that on every phone or carrier I have ever been with from time to time. Not an exact science I guess. As for the calls, so far no problem here on that. Perhaps when they set you up on the Instinct they messed up your account some and changed some setting in some way? I dunno, could be off base but just a thought.

Re: Receiving Calls and delayed Texts

When you are missing calls are you doing anything on the phone such as watching Sprint TV, Radio or anything with data services?

Re: Receiving Calls and delayed Texts

Do you have your email set up on your instinct? I have mine set to only check my emails when I want. If you have it on automatic, it may be that it is searching for new emails on times that you are getting your missed phone calls? I am not an expert, but that is what one sprint consultant said could be with the problem. Hope this helps. Go to setting on your email and change it to not automatically check for new emails.

Hope it helps.

Re: Receiving Calls and delayed Texts

yes, i have the same exact problem.  its very inconvenient.  I also have an instinct and when i am at home (moved here recently) i cannot receive almost all calls or texts until im a block or so away. The strange thing is that i have good reception and can make calls without problems.   Ive been wondering if there is a way to update or a code that reconnects to a closer satellite.  Well i havent come across anything yet.
