N70 messaging problem -- phone does not give notification

Dear all,

I sincerely hope I am not reading on well-worn ground with this question -- if I am, please point me in the direction of the thread that can answer my question and I will be on my way!

I have an N70, bought about 5 months ago in Moscow. Last week, when I was in Helsinki (ironic, I guess), the message notification system stopped working -- my phone does not vibrate or beep when a new message comes in, nor does it show me a delivery receipt for a sent message. Interestingly, when I reboot the phone, it will show me all fo the delivery receipts since the last restart.

I thought perhaps the culprit was my ginormous trove of SMSs, so I nuked them: that didn't solve the problem. I've looked at my profiles in and out, and they do not seem to be the problem either -- I am not working in silent mode, and I do have the phone set to beep on a message as well as vibrate.

I went to the flagship Nokia store in Moscow last night, but they were baffled as well, and recommended me to go round the corner to the service center -- the line was a mile long, so I thought I'd do some work myself, but via google, nokia.com/etc. I have not been able to find a solution to this problem.

Any ideas?

Have you tried a soft reset? *#7370# brings your phone in the same way like it was when it got out of the box.

Thanks -- I will give this a try. Will I lose any data, or just my settings?

You lose all the data stored on phone's memory. Make a backup before this, at least for calendar/ contacts if not a full one.

it's asking fora lock code -- any idea what this is?

It's either you phone lock code, or 12345 if you didn't changed it. Note that after reset, your lock code will become 12345.
