Charged for 453 sms message - HTC Excalibur

I looked at my call history on the Rogers websites and I noticed that there are 10 SMS messages with the number 453 sent within 3 weeks. I looked it up on Google I think its because of an invalid SMS number. Has anyone else had this or know how to fix it. Any help would be appreciative since I'm paying for these messages.

[Q] Text message problem...help

So I seem to have a messaging problem I cannot figure out. I can't pinpoint exactly when it started happening but it was around the time I installed CM7 RC1 or nightly 38...
I only get my messages in bunches some time after they are sent. Its like after a while multiple texts get pushed through, just not when they were sent from the person. Sometimes i get multiple texts in the wrong order. I've also figured out the only way to get the texts to come through is when i call someone. Once i call someone, multiple texts push through.....really strange
Its like the phone has to actively access the network before is receives text messages...
I have no clue what this could be, any suggestions
Similar issue
I loaded the same Rom but it appears if I send out a txt with multiple recipients only one recipient gets it.

group text message

so ive tried handcent, gosms and pansi and all seem to have the same problem.
When ever i try to send a group text message i get an undelivered error message. Now weather its because a contacts number is incorrect or what ever other reason no one else in the group will get the message.
Is there a limit to how many recipients i can send a message? On my evo i couldnt add any more than 40.
This is getting rather frustrating especially being that i am pass my 14 day trial period on this phone. Im starting to think i shouldve waited for the HTC One to come out
Try Group SMS free. It allows you to send through your normal carrier or a Google voice account....which is free texting. I use it all the time!
Hope this helps.
ok ive downloaded the app mentioned but cant figure out how to forward a message. I tried copying from the phones messenger app but wont let me paste, and this app wont allow me to view my messages.

Hangouts SMS problem

I noticed that when receiving some international SMS sometimes the numbers don't show "+"
And hangouts gets screwed up.
For example I'm texting someone in UK using +44XXXXXX number
They respond but now the number looks like 44XXXXXX without +
So hangouts doesn't associate the incoming message with the same contact and decides to open a new thread. But I cannot even respond to message in the same thread because I need the + sign. So now I'm receiving messages in one thread and sending them in another.
I don't remember ever having this problem with stock messages app. How can I fix this?

Text message delay

Has anyone else had any issues with text messages sending and receiving with significant delay? I will check the phone in the morning and it will show no notifications. If I text someone or call someone I will immediately get a backlog of text messages/ voicemail notifications, the time stamp on the text messages will be as if I received them regularly without delay.
Probably phone issue, cuz it's getting old, that's what happened to my old phone or the phone service is having a major lag issue.

I don't know about texts, but several forum users at Amazon reported a problem with voicemail notifications. See this post from Nobody, on how you may be able to resolve the notifications problem.

I had the same problem and I just unistalled facebook from google playstore and installed it from amazon and texts work fine now. Some apps from google interfere with amazon.

Sending multiple individual messages using messenger

I am the PR for my motorcycle group and I need to send out individual messages to my members (around 70 at a time). Currently I am using "Group Texting" from the play store and this has worked prefecture on my note 4 and note 7. This app allows me to toe up a text message (some times it is longer than 160 characters) and select the individuals I want to get the text and when I press the send button it uses my native texting app (this case it is messenger) and sends out individual text messages. While it is sending out these messages I start to get a message "Sending SMS Messages, SMS Messenger is sending a large number of SMS messages. Do you want this app to continue sending messages?" I have the choice of "Allow" of "Deny". I have press "Allow" multiple times thinking these messages are going out. When I go to the Messenger app I see some that went and a ton that show "message not sent, resend" in red.
Now I could blame the "Group Texting" app but when I go into the messages that have not sent and tap resend I get about 10 done then start getting the same message again "...large number messages. ...", so I think it is an android setting somewhere. I raged this issue and found the same issue was on the nexus phone also. Their fix was to root the phone, I really don't want to do that as of yet. If this can not be fixed I may have to trade this phone off and go back to a samsung.
Any ideas?
In the Google Messenger settings one of the options for group messages is to send as single SMS messages or group MMS messages. Toggle the setting to SMS and compose your text with desired members, no need for a second app. Settings > Advanced > Group Messaging.

Has something changed on group texting? I thought this feature was the old group texting where it limits to you only 10 recipients at a time. I am wanting to end up with individual threads for all text messages I send out. So I could end up with 70 threads when I send out a group message.

I guess I've never tried to do more than 10 so I am not sure if that is possible or not. I generally keep my setting to MMS (group text) instead of SMS (mass text), but have toggled it once in a while if I want to send the same thing to several people but don't want a group text going.
Unbelievable - I to am also in a motorcycle club and send out sms notifications to apx 120 members - I am unabllke to now since i bought my google pixel xl - I have exactly the same problem - I have rung telstra and Google and they say it is the others problem ? it is driving me mad - help ?

Hello,
This is a built-in Android security feature. It limits how much messages can be sent within a certain amount of time.
In order to remove the limit, changes need to be done in:
/system/framework/telephony-common.jar
Upload a copy of your "telephony-common.jar" if you want and I'll try looking into it...
Cheers...

Hello,
Like you guyz someone in the N6P forum had a similar issue and managed to modify their telephony-common.jar to send more SMS within a certain amount of time...
Unfortunately, you need Root and a file explorer to extract the archive here: /system/framework/telephony-common.jar
So i decompiled it and here are the two values that are used to set limits:
Code:
const-string/jumbo v1, "sms_outgoing_check_max_count"
.line 263
const/16 v2, 0x1e
Code:
const-string/jumbo v1, "sms_outgoing_check_interval_ms"
.line 267
const v2, 0xea60
Both values can be set to whatever numbers in hexadecimal you want...
If you want to test, just send me your telephony-common.jar. I guess this archive should be the same no matter what ROM you're on, but not 100% sure...
Cheers...

I have seen something like this in other posts and googling this issue. Rooting my phone may be my last resort to get my SMS to work correctly. I am just pissed Google will not admit it is their operating system that is doing and not the app or the wireless provider.
Thanks for the find. I may go ahead and root my phone.
Basically, I'm using a very convenient service which is called Atomic SMS Sender. It works perfectly and does it's job quickly :good:
