Modem Storage Overload?

Huh? Think if you re-read my reply, you'll find two solutions: 1)Erasing the six text messages overloading my modem memory fixed it, and I haven't had the problem since. 2) Contacting TM MAY be why I've received no new texts intended for"Alan" (not me) since then, in which case I won't have the problem again. 3) I haven't marketed anything or promised anything: I'm a new Gateway user tied to TM only as a customer, with mixed experiences so far. I've had consistently good luck with their cellphone service though. 

Thanks for the good info. After 17 hours of reverting back to rabbit ears, (with tin foil wings...lol) & tuning to local stuff, the gateway finally started acting normal again. I never rec'd any text messages other than those from TM. I'm still guessing TM is just lacking in their ability to troubleshoot these issues. Their tech told me the 5G traffic is a lot heavier than they ever expected & their system is being overloaded, especially in peak hours, causing maintenance issues. I've also had great performance & speed for 4 years from my TM 4G LTE cell phone, except...when I  connect the phone to the 5G Wi-Fi signal, the down & up speed on the phone suffers. I just switch the phone back to 4G & all is good again.
