SMS messages sent from Vodafone network in NZ to XT BlackBerry Bold (roaming in AUS on Telstra) are almost always received twice. Messages are between 2 and 3 mins apart. This has been happening consistently this week and messages are from different NZ Vodafone numbers.

Not implying this is an XT issue by posting on this forum - but need to start somewhere.

Has anyone experienced same/similar problem?

Try getting someone in the UK to send you a text while you are in Rarotonga. I ended up getting the message over a hundred times.

Just been on OZ for a week roaming on Vodafone. No issues with duplicate messages.
