Can't. The 8100 doesn't support SMS, and last time I checked (which was
a while ago, admittedly), there were no plans to add that feature to the
firmware. You could check, but I think the plan was to make all
non-Vision phones at the time of SMS release capable as a perk for a
crappy phone, and all new phones as of that time have the feature.
Stinks, I know since I had an 8100, but I came up for an upgrade, and
did. The RL-4920 is a nice upgrade from the 8100, IMHO.

This is a lie. A scam. Sprint PCS will not send "real" SMS to an 8100.
It uses Shortmail, and always will.

You are just not know about that what you said. Firmwares 100% worke
and tested by me and my customers. This is special modified firmware
maked special for Sprint PCS :

Even if you're not lying, and the modified firmware does do SMS, if anything
happens to the phone (software-wise) in the future, I doubt Sprint would fix
it. If the firmware proves to be buggy, are you going to re-flash the phone
with the firmware it came with? Are you going to offer any other support for
the phone?

(Irrelevant, probably. I'm sure you're not telling the truth.)

SMS to a Sanyo 8100 is not possible. Partly because it's not the
phone's choice where the message goes. The Sprint network will not send
SMS to a Shortmail phone. Period. Zippy can flash Ubuntu Linux on the
8100 for all the system cares. The system will *still* send all "SMS"
messages going to an 8100 to Shortmail.

Period.

1,5 years ago i sold firmware with SMS for Sanyo 8100 for 2000$ t
Korean refurbish company, this company sells refurbishing cell phone
to USA. Also i sold some times Sanyo, Samsung firmwares for US
customers for 1500$(Sanyo 8100) year ago.

Now price much more cheaply and this firmwares still popular.

Also exist modified firmwares with SMS for other models like Sany
5150, Samung n240, etc, but i have only for Sanyo 8100, Samung a460
a500, a60

Well, Rob (O/Siris) used to work in Vision Tech Support at Sprint, so when
he says the *system* won't send SMS to a phone not originally equipped for
SMS, I believe him. And the Sprint 8100s weren't originally equipped for SMS.

Is there any point to you continuing to argue?

Thanks, Steve. I can't get across just how honored I am every time I
hear of someone valuing my experience like that. To me, that means more
than any raise or bonus a company could give me.

My experiences with CS have been mixed.

My experiences with Tech Support have been consistently good. Sprint's Tech
Support employees have been clued and helpful whenever I've called.

I'm just giving credit where it's due.

Ask about it customers who bought and uses this firmwares for a lon
time.... As you see Rob (O/Siris) not so good in technical questions.

This is Sprint politics, they not want sells phones with SMS, becaus
they have own service. Other operators uses SMS without any problem
but you cant usage firmware with SMS from other operators (for exampl
Bell - canada)) without modification. But this problem is solved lon
long long time ago.

He's never had problems giving me correct answers before. On the other hand,
you popped out of nowhere, I don't know you, and I have no reason to trust
that you know a damned thing about what you're discussing.

> This is Sprint politics, they not want sells phones with SMS,

Well, gee, this just *proves* you don't have a clue. With the exception of
one model, every phone currently in Sprint's lineup has SMS. Have you
forgotten that Sprint only launched true SMS around a year ago?

The phones that don't support SMS are older phones. Lessee. Sprintpcs.com,
Shopping... browse phones. Here we are...

Some of the phones aren't listed as being SMS capable on the "browse" page
but the details page for each phone lists SMS as a feature. 20 of the 21
phones currently listed for my US zip code, 92307, are listed as
SMS-capable. The only one that isn't is an older Samsung smartphone model,
the i500.

Even the no-frills, no-Vision, voice-only Motorola V60v and the no-frills,
no-Vision, voice-only Nokia 6016i are SMS-capable.

But that's right, Yo-yo, Sprint doesn't want to sell phones with SMS. :>
