I have had this issue both stock and on every rom I've tried -- sometimes my phone retrieves text messages LONG after they were sent, and sometimes it fails to retrieve them altogether. This doesn't happen frequently, but maybe one or two every week. It's not the result of having no signal or anything like that - it just isn't getting the messages.
Also, I should add that sometimes google voice will get the text but messaging won't until later...sometimes messaging will get the text and google voice never will...and this message retrieval problem has occurred irrespective of whether I have messaging, handcent, and/or google voice on the phone.
Has anyone else had this problem, and is there a known solution?

I'm having a weird problem with 2-3 people in my contact list never getting any of my text messages. I've tried flashing over many other roms and sprint even 'reset the device' remotely, to which nothing helped. Anyone ever run into this? Also, this problem doesn't seem to be on their end - as they can send me SMS just fine.
this is strange. now i'm only getting texts when i place a phone call, like 10-20 are coming in at once.
The problem I've been having seems to have been asked a lot of times in several forums, but rarely answered directly. It had nothing to do with Google Voice, the ROM (I use SRF 1.2). I had to look through so many of these before FINALLY finding the very easy answer so I thought I'd post it here in case it helps someone else.
The issue is that I started receiving a weird text message from Sprint indicating, "...has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. Call 408-970-0000 to listen...". I wasn't receiving any voicemail notification, though, and voicemails weren't showing up in Visual Voicemail. When I finally called into voicemail, I realized I had several waiting for me -- ones I never realized I had because there was no notification!
What it turns out is that this problem is apparently almost always caused by changing the SMS application. In my case, I had installed Handcent. To fix this in Handcent, just go to menu->settings->Application Settings->Default Messaging application, and select "Disable". (In my case it was set to SMS.)
After I made that change, all of a sudden I started receiving notifications, all of my older messages finally appeared in Visual Voicemail, and I stopped receiving those strange Sprint texts.
If you use GO SMS, I understand there is a similar way to disable setting the GO SMS as default as well.

Yeah, I'm using GoSMS Pro for text messages and was getting the exact same thing with the same 408 number. I backed up my texts and settings and un-installed GoSMS, rebooted the phone, but still had to "call in" to voicemail (old school voicemail, not visual) but I think from here on out, I should get visual voicemail normally again. We'll see.
Thanks for posting!
I literally just got the phone yesterday, and have been setting it up. However, I have a weird issue with the phone.
I have been getting:
//Android: Provisioning successful CFv320c.0=07cyssw33WNC//CM
From reading around it seems to be a text message for Visual Voicemail application. I have opened up Visual Voicemail and opened up all of the voicemail files. I use Google Voice, so these texts are useless for one, but I don't even want to receive them. I can't select a different Voicemail option in the "call" settings menu, otherwise I would have changed it.
Second, I keep getting the same text message from people. I have received 7 instances of the same text message, and I know that they aren't sending the same message because it has happened for four people, and for the message contents listed above for the visual voicemail.
This is not a rooted phone, I will probably end up rooting it, but not just yet, so is there any way to get around these messages and text issues?

Did you have google voice?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yes, I have used Google Voice on my previous phone (HTC Hero) as well. Google Voice is also setup on the Epic 4G Touch, using the *28 code.
Bump, I am aware that it is a networking issue, but I want to rule out some things first.
I have an "airave" at my house, and I am wondering (because the airave is on a different floor) if the phone is swapping between the tower and the mini-sip tower, making me receive multiple text messages?
Ok this is slightly annoying me. This seems to only happen while on wifi, and not limited to a specific carrier. I occasionally receive duplicate sms messages from everyone, and it seems to keep repeating every few seconds until I check the message.
Has anyone ever found a solution to this at all?
Ever since I have had this LG G3, it seems for no reason at all, at times, it will sit there and spin saying "sending" when I send a text. Happens sometimes when sending email as well using LG's built-in email. Tried rebooting, turning on or off wifi, have a good LTE connection at the time, but no dice. Just sits and spins saying sending. And usually eventually fails sending. Other times it sends immediately. I never know if I hit send if the SMS is going to be sent or not. It's quite frustrating. My wife and I are on the same provider (Rogers) and when this happens with my phone, I grab her Note 4, try sending out a text and boom, instantly sent.
I'm running stock 5.0.1. Two mods, CTT and Trickster. I have checked APN's and they are identical to my wife's Note 4.
Does anyone have any idea what else I could try to make the SMS and email sending more reliable?
Another strange thing. The stock messaging app doesn't show any messages. I have deleted them all. I installed Textra to see if sending messages was any better and there are about 10 voice mail message texts sitting in there. These are the notification I get when I get a voice mail. I had called Rogers before and asked if I could turn these redundant text messages off and they said I didn't have that option set on my account?? Not sure where they are coming from then. I do get the voice mail icon notification as well when I get a voice mail.
I deleted all of the messages, closed Textra and reopened, only to find all the texts had returned. WTF? I deleted them again, same thing. Tried cleaning cache and data for both the stock messaging app as well as Textra, same problem. Perhaps these messages are interfering some how with sending/receiving texts? I changed my phone number on this phone recently as I was getting a bunch of non-wanted calls and thus all these voice mails. Could these be left over from the previous number? Not sure why I can't delete them permanently. Man, what a pain.
