SMS checkin - no confirmation or posting
I have Verizon and I use SMS to checkin. I'm able to locate the placemark but when I try to checkin, I do not receive a message or confirmation. I have no problems checking in online and I have been unable to checkin via SMS since last Monday.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Works fine for me when I check-in via SMS. I receive the SMS check-in confirmation shortly after I send the check-in text. Might be an isolated problem? Maybe you can use mobile web to log into Brightkite and check if it actually worked.
I’m unaffected

Inappropriate?Hi Opilai, are you still having problems with this?

Inappropriate?I have used the mobile site and it works fine; I will try the SMS again and I'll let you know if I succeed. Thanks! -
Inappropriate?I too am a Verizon customer, and I have not been able to use Brightkite's SMS (sending or receiving) since about the same tile opilai reported this problem.
In fact, when I deleted my phone number and attempted to re-add it, I never received a confirmation code. So it doesn't seem to be just an issue with the short code on Verizon.
I could use the website instead, but I have unlimited SMS messages while Web access is billed to me at the exorbitant rate of $1.99 per megabyte.
I’m suffering withdrawal

Larry, can I get your mobile number? We can check it out to see what's going on. You can email it to lesley[at]brightkite.com or you can shoot me a DM on Brightkite, username sprouticus. :) -
Inappropriate?With the kind help of Brightkite, I figured out that my Verizon mobile number was placed on a 30-day stop list when I tried to send an SMS after my phone was disabled due to late payment. Even though I made good and Verizon restored my service immediately, the stop list sticks for the full 30 days. This policy is handed down by Verizon, not Brightkite.
So the solution lies both in patience and in timely bill payments!
I’m disappointed but accepting

Hi Joe, this is a known issue that we have been experiencing with international SMS over the past few days. We are working to resolve the problem and will have it fixed as soon as we can.
