i got my maxis iphone 3g a few days ago and today i suddenly cant send SMS, been getting "error sending message" alot.

what's the problem here?

can u kal out?
receive sms?

maybe there is something wrong with the maxis network?

usually i only get this when my top up credit is finished

Yup, same with me

To the TS, I had the same problem too today in the late morning, but was ok later. I guess telco problem instead of phone?

Coverage-switching zone. I've got these notifications before, and can replicate them fairly often. I travel into and out of KL by the RapidKL bus, so the route is already firmly set. I also travel up to work to KLIA using the ERL service from KL Sentral. Using these two predetermined routes(RapidKL bus route and ERL train route), there are several coverage-switching zones, that if I try and either send an SMS, make a call, or surf using 3G service, that the line will disconnect, and the message "Searching" will come out at the carrier designator area on top left. This means that the iPhone is switching between 3G coverage network to normal GSM or EDGE-enhanced GSM coverage network, and while this switching is going on, whatever network-related activities you are doing at that time, will be stalled until the iPhone latches on to a firm signal, and be able to carry out those specific tasks(send SMS, call, etc).

Nothing to worry about, just need to move back into coverage area, and you can resend that SMS back again. In fact, your SMS will remain typed on the text window until you tap the "Send" button again.

hmmm, i'm not too sure if my post will constitute as a spam or rant (@ davidgary73, please use your discretion as necessary).

but i cannot see a relation between an obvious dodgy network malfunction with the fact it is being used with an iPhone honestly. take this case for example, just because a text failed on TS when he is using an iPhone, does it imply that iPhones are fail proof?

given the very same scenario, if this would have happened to a conventional nokia phone, i don't think that anyone will even be curious at all.

The whole fear of an iPhone not performing properly is fed by the previous act of jailbreaking/unlocking which the crowd may have induced notion that it messes with the telephony operation of the iPhone. The same fear has carried over, even to the days of official unlocks like today.

You only fear what you dont know.

Or maybe the high level of expectation of these new owners of the Jesusphone to work God-like miracles doing impossible things, even when it is clearly not the fault of the phone itself.

Let there be light!......I mean, line! *poof*
