How To Fix BlackBerry Bold SMS Problem

Posted by: 21 April 2010 5 Comments

For people who have BlackBerry Bold or want to buy BlackBerry Bold they would have known by now that this phone has a problem with SMS. Sometimes when you are sending messages they queue up in a strange pending mode. Once your SMS or emails are in the pending mode you cannot send any further SMS or emails. The only solution so far is to pull out your battery and restart the phone. But we have came across another solution. It might be strange for you people but it really works. You should really give it a try.

Sometimes when you save a SMS in a draft mode you can’t send further SMS. In simple your SMS queue up in a strange pending mode. If you dont want your messages to act weirdly, the only option other than plugging in the battery again is:

Open the write message/email menu when you really want to send SMS and emails. If you open up the menu by no reason or intentions to send a message or an email and you exit from the SMS menu your SMS still get into pending mode. So if you do not feel plugging your battery again then only way to avoid this pending status is to write a SMS and send it to anyone or yourself. That might be easy than plugging in the battery again.

There are several other ways to get rid of the pending mode, like switching to ‘Circuit Switched Preferred’ from the SMS option.
