Since midnight, I'm getting SMSs from 2016.

Is this just happening on Sprint phones or are other carriers affected too?

Sounds like it is affecting many carriers. Also effecting some business systems. Its basically a Y2K10 bug.

Alltel tech support told me this is a windows problem and that (apparently) microsoft released a statement on the 4th saying they're investigating this issue and hope to find a resolution eventually... nice. has anyone had luck with the temporary fix thats going around?

Update:
HTC posted an official fix for Sprint's TPs: http://www.htc.com/us/support/touch-diamond-sprint/downloads/

"This fix updates rilphone.dll, which is the key component that interacts with Sprint's SMS server.  In that sense, it is different from the "ziggy" patch, which simply enabled a function that time-dated received messages using your device's clock.

If you are happy with the current "ziggy" patch, there is no immediate necessity to download this patch.  Then again, some prefer to have their SMS messages dated by the server, not their device, so this update makes sense.

What about Verizon, U.S. Cellular and others? No word yet, but we'll keep an eye out.  Also, no word on the Sprint Snap either." (WMExperts)
