Maybe someone with a k-jam can confirm this or maybe deny it.
I have had my k-jam now for about a month, excellent phone btw. I just have one problem, and am not so sure its the k-jam.
I am an mtn subscriber, and have been getting calls from my mates, that when I sms them, they receive sometimes 2-3 exact copies of the sms, sometimes immediately, sometimes over a span of time. Simple sms's like :"Thanks" would be duplicated over 2-3 sms's.
I have phoned MTN, and after stuggling for days, they got back to me and told me that its a virus on my cellphone. Well I have installed an anti virus (and slowed down the phone completely). But I still get it.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it perhaps a setting on the cellphone that I am missing, or is it MTN (oh gawd I hope its them, I am in the mood to tear them a new one)?

Gothan, have you updated to the latest ROM?

Be sure to login first. Backup your contacts, files, etc. and update. You'll find it should fix your problems. (Essentially the latest ROM is a Service Pack for Windows Mobile)
BTW, you can see if you have the latest by comparing your ROM version in Settings | System | Device Information. The imate site will tell you which is their latest version.

Well i have checked my ROM version.
ROM Version: 2.16.9.1 WWE
ROM Date: 2/6/06
Radio version: 02.07.10
Protocal version: 413.1.03
ExtROM Version: 2.16.9.101
And that is currently the latest version on the site (if I am checking the correct page). Leaf.co.za also asked me this and they confirmed its the correct version

I've had the same problem for a while with MTN. I can confirm its not the phone because I've used 3 different phones on this number and it still occasionally happens. I'm pretty sure its MTN because I often recieve double messages from MTN numbers but not from the other networks.
Go rip them a new one :D

As per Rewind, it must be the network. Good luck having them sort it out. ;)

I think it is definitely MTN's problem.
3 of my friends that are on the MTN network have the same problem. And it isn't the phone that is problematic so you can remove that anti-virus.
