Only getting texts from verizon users

[RosaM]

I just bought a new blackberry curve and switched from t.mobile to verizon. I have unlimited text/talk. The day I got my phone I was wondering why only certain people were replying to me. Took me a while to realize it was only friends with the verizon network I was receiving texts back from. Everyone was receiving mine, but I wasnt receiving theirs. Anyone else have this issue when changing to another company? and yes i ported my old number.

How long a go did the port take place?  It may take a few days for it to be fully complete.  If it has been longer than that, contact both Verizon CS and T-Mobile and see why it hasn't completed yet.

this is currently happening to me as well. I am an altell customer but I just got a new Driod Eris on Sunday.I kept my same altell plan I just purchased the new phone. I only get Verizon users texts....HELP! any suggestions?

It takes awhile to get everything set up and fully working when your number is being ported over.  If it does not fix by itself then do call customer care.

Same thing is happening to me, but, we have four phones and mine is the only one not getting texts from other carriers. The other ones have been getting them just fine. Seems to me that all the regulations, rules, red-tape and fail-safes just aren't enough to overcome lazy employees, sloppy work and slack-offs. I'm sure that's what's happened with mine (either on T-Mobile (where we came from) or Verizon).

Are either of your lines, new activations or did either of you upgrade your Alltel device to a Verizon Wireless device? If neither, are either of you located near Jackson, NC?
