My PuertoRican Friend

BeachSlapped

I hope someone knows the answer to this issue. I have a friend who sends me text messages from Puerto Rico, (yes, she has Cingular (GSM phone)). whenever she sends me text messages in spanish for some weird reason I get them l i k e t h i s... i t d r i v e s m e c r a z y!!!! because of this when she sends a regular text (100- 120 characters) I get 3 or 4 text messages, I only have 100 txt a month so she is killing me text message package. I told her to send them in English, so I would get the txts msgs in the regular format (without the spaces) but sometimes she forgets, Is it my phone? Is it hers? Is it Cingular? HELP!

Possibly... I get them from family in puerto rico and I get them fine... It might be her phone or your phone... I would call customer service and ask them to troubleshoot it first... Maybe her side to start off with if she is the only person it happens with...
