Hiphone 4 wont receive texts...

laura1990

Hey everyone!
So my hiphone arrived the other day and I love it to bits, unfortunately its not receiving texts unless the text is from voicemail.
I have upgraded my sim card, hasnt helped.
Rang vodaphone who confirmed that its not the network its the phone.
I can send texts and make and recieve phone calls and voicemail is working.
Message centre number is correct.
If i turn phone off and turn it back on it will recieve one text ( have tested this with my sis, I turn phone off and on she texts, i get the first text and none after that)
Changed the mms settings, which helped, recived 3 texts but none after that.
Have emailed company I bought phone off (sarimobi) they wont reply.
At my wits end people What is up with the phone?
Oh and I asked vodaphone why i could receive the voicemail texts and the guy just said "pure luck",

Any help is appreciated, love this phone but will have to get rid if it wont receive txts

Just to clarify.. you do mean iPhone because Hiphone could easily be a Chinese knockoff?

its a shame, people buy these they lose the whole experience of using
a Apple Iphone.

buying music and Apps taking photo texting and making phone calls

Its a hiphone (the chinese knockoff).

Im a big apple fan but cant afford the iphone at the moment, the hiphone I purchased is actually pretty good (not a patch on the real thing I know but pretty decent).

Any thoughts about the sms? Vodaphone says that this happens to iPhones too but to fix its a simple matter of fixing settings through itunes...

I'd imagine support for a "hiphone" would be pretty limited Laura to be honest.

You get what you pay for to be honest.

Doubt there is a fix hence why it's a cheap knockoff of the real thing.
Have you considered an iPhone 3GS? You can get a second hand one on Adverts for about 200-250E.

Yup considered that, but i think the iPhone 4 is way ahead of the 3GS.
Ive seen some iphone4 going for cheap on done deal but id be suspicious of a dirt cheap iPhone...

lol id be suspicious of a dirt cheap knock off running windows mobile in the background

Why dont ya go for a HTC Desire or a Nexus, you can still pick up brand new ones around 200-300. Flash MIUI Rom on it and you will get the best of both world like yet, better than iPhone interface, andyou will be able to customize it.

update! Little sister got the same phone (she is back from holidays thats why she's only started using it now, arrived while she was away). Her one works perfectly So im now pretty sure its a fault with just my phone. She's on meteor but i dont think this should make a difference. Matched all the setting on my phone with hers and mine still wont recieve texts :mad:
