Hotlink FREE MMS was screwed up my CSL i208!!??

On 25 Jan 2012, I received a FREE MMS msg from Hotlink. After I received such msg, I'll delete it immediately. Usually no problem, but this time after I deleted the message. In a while time, my phone become lagging, keep appearing a "Message In" logo to SIM2 (my SIM1 is DiGi Postpaid, SIM2 is Hotlink). I can't access to the MMS folder anymore, it keep appearing 'Waiting'. Since beginning, I never use MMS, neither DiGi / Hotlink.
Then the whole day I realise my phone intermittent "no display", especially while sms, and the battery drain out very fast. Normally CSL i208 with a fully charged battery usually can last me at least 4days, but now its flat in a day.
The next day, I thought my i208 is faulty. I have two CSL i208, hence I moved all my SIM cards (SIM1 - DiGi; SIM2 - Hotlink) to my another i208. After few hours time, again I received another FREE MMS message from Hotlink, I deleted it again. KNS!!! Now my two i208 are having the same problem.

Workarounds being tried:-
1. I replaced in another 2x DiGi SIM into my first i208, but the problem still the same.
2. I tried my DiGi SIM1, Hotlink SIM2 to my Samsung Ch@t 222, no problem, working fine.
3. With 2x DiGi SIM in my i208 phone, I did the 'delete all messages', all the messages deleted, but it still having same problem. The "Message In" logo to SIM2 still appearing.
4. With 2x DiGi SIM in the phone, I do the Factory Reset, password: 1122, then the resetting took a day long also cannot be completed. I forced to reset the phone, then power on it again, yupe, everything back to factory settings, but the "Message In" logo still exist, and the lagging, intermittent No Display, etc issues still remaining.
5. I removed all the SIM cards, do the Factory Reset on a plain phone. Result is same as 4... na.. na....
6. I called CSL Support, telling them the problem, asking for the solutions. But they insist me to send the phone to their Service Center.
7. One of my i208 is still under warranty (purchased 7 Feb 2011), so I have to send it for RMA. Another i208's warranty was over, now temporary have to retire. :"(


I likes my i208 very much, it being served me very well for past two years. I plan to get another new unit, but I'm affraid will having the same problem again. So, yesterday after I sent my i208 for RMA, I go to get a new Nokia X1-01.
Later I will let you know my experiences with CSL i208, Samsung Ch@t 222 & Nokia X1-01. :)

my X1-01 just received a sms "1000" from Hotlink, but "this message cannot be displayed". after deleted it, my X1-01 is still good. huh!! lucky!! man.
now I suspect is the similiar message which was 'hung up' my i208, :o but my X1-01 is OK bcoz its not support MMS/GPRS.

(TMD, 又来了，不过看来用不同的手机会有不同的收MMS法）

今天我去拿了 warranty 的 CSL i-208。 顺便带了那个同样被 Maxis MMS 弄残的 i-208， 那技术员免费帮我 format 了。 我对他说了原因，他还教我把 GPRS 的 settings 全部删除掉，以避免同样的问题再发生。

现在我又有两架 i-208 可以用了。

会卖掉 X2-02, 用回 CSL i-208。
