sprint error cause code 97 for sending texts?

it will work. i just called and got through to a rep. when you buy it the people should tell you that your texting won't be activated until 5am the next morning. ..thats why the error code comes up. so don't worry. after 5am. it will work.

I bought mine 24 hours ago, maybe more, and nothing as worked yet. Calling, texting, anything that has to do with incoming and outgoing shit.
 
CDMA Data, which is what SMS is considered, can typically take up to 4 hours to provision. There is no definite time given as to when your messaging will work, but it can take up to 4 hours beyond the initial activation of the handset to work. Give it time and it will work. If not, contact Sprint and make sure that the salesmaker you worked with activated your phone on the correct service plan.

code 97 - NORMAL for me

It happens to me usually the day after I pay for my phone, it stops texting for like 5 hours. I've had my phone for 3 months, and now it's doing the same thing for my 4th month. It doesn't let me text, but if you keep trying to send a text every hour it will work.
 
i had the same problem 2. i just called and it was because i had this setting where i couldnt receive or send texts
 
im having the same problem but im with bell and i cant send texts cuz of error 97 and i also cant al anyone on my cell plz help the removal bttery trick didnt work with me
 
I have that proble, with evert new phone I buy, I think some companys take a few days to put your phone in the server thing. You'd think they'd give you a warning.. pricks.
 
i have the same problem. i have the lg rumour, and i'm with virgin mobile. they suck.
