700wx SMS issues…
So it appears the sprint has been having some issues with text messages from 700wx’s lately. While there are many rumors going around about why, I thought I might shed a little insight into how this might have happened. Sprint has had a SMS system in place for quite a while now that had some improperly done parts. WM5 has also been a little flakey on it’s SMS handling. Appearently, at some point someone “patched” the problems on sprints side I would imagine and as a result, broke the 700wx. So we now have to wait and see if the problem is fixed on the wm5 side, or if it will be re-fixed on the sprint gateway side.
In another interesting bit before this fix happened we appearently had a issue with improper base64 encoding or decoding at the wrong times. This is what was “fixed” and broke the system as it now is.
More to come as I get wind of it.
