I usually use the Google SMS service in the car so I can check sports scores quickly without using a browser. For some reason it stopped working on my VZW BB but still works in the same areas on my TMobile BB. I have a txt plan on the account as well, so that isn't the issue.

Is there any options on my Pearl that might prevent the incoming Google SMS responses? I've called Verizon a few times and have talked to a bunch of relatively unhelpful people. One tech didn't know much about anything, but submitted a "Help Ticket" where as most of the others told me to "take it up with Google" even though the Google SMS service works on my friend's VZW Pearl in the same areas.

test the SIM in another handset first and see if the google messages come through. Are you having problems receiving any other SMS messages??

I don't think the Verizon Pearl uses SIM cards. Have you tried the hard reset of the BlackBerry? Do other text messages come through?
