My dad’s work goes through Nextel, they give him a Motorola i730. However when someone texts him, the name/number doesn’t appear. Also, he can’t reply. Nor can he send a new text message

is the phone just old or what. weird that he can get em but can’t see who from nor reply

they use a server, basically you have to connect to the “server” to get the message, but when I had mine I never remember what you described
