Hi guys,
I have been using iPhones for years now, most recently the iPhone 5 but I love the Nokia phones and Windows OS despite its immaturity.
Earlier this week I decided to spoil myself and get the 1520 from AT&T and still keep the iPhone. This way I could use both and enjoy both worlds!
Luckily for me the 1520 and iPhone use the same SIM card so what I do is basically transfer the SIM between the phones and take the phone that I feel like having with me every day
So far my arrangement has been working very nicely and I spend 90% of the time with the 1520, I just love it, everything about it.
The one thing I can not wrap my head around is text messages. I noticed that I wasn't reeving text messages from many of my friends who claimed they kept trying to get in touch with me. After looking into this, I realized that my contact information on all of my friend's phones (the ones that use iPhones) is associated with an iMessage address and my Nokia can not receive the texts that they sent me (even though it is associated with my phone number).
The result is text messages that were sent and I never saw.
When I send them texts, they get them and even when they reply to something that I sent, I don;t see it.
I really don;t know how to resolve this, I tried turning off iMessages on my iPhone and iPad but it doesn't help. Any ideas please? I really don;t want this to be the reason I give up the 1520 :-(
It seems like some sort of technicality I can figure out and overcome.
Thank you all in advance!
