Okay, Two days ago I purchased a black berry pearl flip, i went to bed without pluging in the charger.

I woke up and i noticed my text messages were not sending all of a sudden. So I figured hmm maybe it's not connecting because I am in my basement. So I went up stairs on the front deck and still nothing, So i put it on the charger , nothing, I took the battery out, and now it won't turn on at all. at first it was a white screen with a box (Almost looked like a timer, had the hands going around), So I switched my battery with my friends phone it turns on just fine. But it will not recieve text messages and the old battery will not make his phone turn on.

It's pretty important that i get this phone working, Any ideas?

-Thanks

the old battery is likely dead
charge for 24 hours

So why wont my phone send the texts then? even with the new battery

Do you have a TM plan on the phone? Have you called your carrier to see if it is provisioned for TM?

It is a carrier issue. SMS is all carrier controlled. Looks like there might be an SMS outage

assuming tm stands for text messages, yes I am unlimited text messages on my plan

The thing is the two other black berrys beside me seem to work perfectly, same carrier everything.
