Sorry but that's retarded of you to say. Can't be the handset because hardware problems don't just fix themselves when you leave a certain area. And if you read the other comments in this thread, you would know it's not a handset issue.

Also, Rogers is obviously not going to admit they have a problem since they don't want to fix it. And we're all gonna get the same response from them, but I'll give them a call when I leave Mac tonight.

That's great to hear!

(sorry if I'm taking my rogers hate out on you, just got 6 texts (from past few hours) when I walked into MDCL, making me look like a jerk for not responding to them )

I find its mainly with 3G, just due to the sheer amount of smartphones using the Rogers network on campus. When I switch to 2G it works fine.

Appreciate your dialect.

I'm just stating facts that Rogers has the closest towers to campus and best coverage at Mac.

If the problem wasn't Rogers, why are tons and tons of us having problems?

I texted my friend, he's on Wind - got my text immediately. He responds back, he's ****ing SITTING NEXT TO ME for 45 mins, and then I get his text. Does that seem normal to you?

I find with mine sometimes, if I sent a message to myself, I get it right away, but then later I get a flood of texts that should have come in before the one to myself, but didn't. They just go into the inbox before the other one.

This makes calling and complaining more difficult because to them this means the phone is both sending texts and receiving texts fine, so they are able to blame all of the other networks.

My buddy used to have to call his voice mail before receiving texts. Most unusual.

You could also look up the threads on MacInsiders about Rogers quality on campus and email Rogers the link? I dont know if they will actually read it though
