Hi, using a TP2 with stock ROM and I have a problem with numbers in text messages.
It seems that if someone SMSs me a phone number, I tap on it and nothing happens. The numbers seem valid and don't contain non-numeric characters but I can't seem to get this to work.
It's really inconvenient because I have to remember the number (or write it down) and dial manually.
Anyone else come across this please?
Ta,
Pete
That is strange, I can just click and dial form a sms
I am also having the same problem with mine. I've tried searching and I can't seem to find a solution either.
Any help would be very much appreciated as this has dogged me since the start.
Thanks!

Hello!
I decided to post here because I have a problem sending text messages with my HD.
Every third time, when I want to reply an SMS, it cannot be sent, it returns in the drafts, and I have this error message.
I don't understand why.
I tried dozen of Roms, radio, or SMS application (Manila, Windows, SMS Chat), and this happened.
Thanks for the help.
well, what rom you usin now my friend?
check yours sms center number in phone settings undee "voice mail and text messages"
if blank ask your operator to give it to you.
I just tried a new one to test if there is the issue, I'm on the last Lost in Asia.
Still the same problem.
[EDIT] SMS Center number checked, and it's okay. But I don't think this is the problem according I can send messages most of the time.
I solved the problem. In Settings / Connexions / Advanced Connexion, SMS Service is now set to GSM only.

I have the same problem, however I find that the sms's are actually sent because the other party has informed me.
I have this problem as well. I have WWE latest official ROM and SMS service set to GSM only. But as vanaveer said, other party received message even if it´s showing that "message cannot be sent"...
I think I solved the problem! Wich is indeed very frustating. The problem is in the SIM card, if the SIM card is older it does not really switch wel between the gsm.hsdpa network, which results in time out erros when sending text messages over the hsdpa network. If you put the settings of the network to GSM only, it will work flawless. I will receive a new SIM card by my provider and then the problem will be solved all together.
please report back wether this was helpfull or not
Well, I don't know if this is a 'Solution', but it's working for me.
I also have the same problem STILL! But I got it working, just
by instead of replying to the text message, I deny to make a
reply, and just start a new text message. This way I am able
to 'reply' on the text message.
Anyway, it's a good temporarily solution (for me surely), until
someone finds out what the actual problem is
I hope this will work for you!

i have a similar prob.
when one particular friend text's me it comes through with his name, as it should be. but if i try to reply from his text i get the "message cannot be sent" error.
if i then go into my contacts and text him it's all good.
the problem is that when i recieve a text from him the "+" symbol is omitted from the beginning of his number. but the symbol is there in my contacts list and as i stated the text comes up as from him.
i don't geddit??
I have the same problem. I get an error but people receive my SMS. I even asked for a new SIM... same problem. Tested many ROMs and Radios... no luck.
I've given up. Now I'm looking for a way to disable the "Your text message cannot be sent" message because it blocks my other incoming SMSs until I click OK.
My guess is it is operator related.
Hi, tried to search for this, I need some help please.
Using WM6.1 stock euro ROM.
1. When I reply to a text by tapping it it comes up as a thread conversation with that contact I received the text from.
2. I write my text and hit send.
3. Sometimes it works but a lot of the time the message is not sent.
Sometimes it says "Your message could not be sent" but sometimes nothing.
4. Check all messages > draft and there it is but the phone number of the recipient is changed from 07XX XXX XXX to 447XX XXX XXX and not with the plus sign
5. I double check the contact info and it is saved as 07XX, I tried saving it as 00447XX and +447XX but no luck.
So please has anyone come across this bug in the software or could it be operator related?
Sorry if the post is confusing I don't know how to explain this properly.
Cheers
Hi,
I had the same problem with my stock 6.1 rom (I've just changed to official 6.5, but not teste though).
Don't know why it doesn't work ... to send texts I'm just using the winmo text thing (access by the keyboard) and it works perfectly ...
Thanks for the reply, yes I have had to use that way around it as well. I really would like it to work tho, have no problem with this sending to International numbers from the UK. It only happens when sending to UK numbers while in the UK.
Hi there,
A while a go I had problems when sendig a textmessage larger than 160 chars (so the message was actually 2 or 3 messages). They wouldn't arrive at the person I was texting.
I read somewhere this had to do with manilla 2.1, and PIMbackup.
I recently flashed the ernergy rom (september version) and the problem was gone, recently I flashed another rom, but it didn't suit me, so I want back to the energy rom, now that I've gone back, the double sms problem is back, anyone any ideas? I can't seem to find the thread which discussed this problem..
any help would be greatly appreciated!
See if this can help : turn off Unicode support in the text options of POutlook

Nope, tried it, but still nothing over 160 chars gets received by the other party, anything under 160 is good, anything bigger, nothing...
I just did a hard reset, and after the hard reset, I did not enter any contacts, I just typed a 2 message sms, sent it to the cellphone number, and still nothing... I'm confused, single messages do work
Apologies if this has been in here before, couldn't find my issue with a quick search.
Right, basically the issue I'm having is that for some of my contacts, when I try to reply to a text it won't send. This isn't the error I've seen before of numbers not being formatted properly and a failure to deliver message, it's different: When I receive a text and compose a reply, nothing happens when I hit send! Te send box lights up, so it knows I've pressed it, but nothing happens (is if it were never pressed at all). The message still just sits there in the compose box waiting to be sent. The only work around is to save it to drafts and then reselect the recipient and send it from there.
Now, I have yet to try an alternative SMS app, or troubleshoot my installed apps. I'll do that if no one else has come across the problem before.
Is this a problem other people have experienced or is it just down to my individual set up?
Any help much appreciated, thanks!

Hey guys, having a small issue with my phone at the moment. I've got a load of contacts in my phonebook. All loaded from their Facebook information.
Every time I try to dial any of these numbers, I get the "sorry this number has not been recognised error". Now before you go jumping to conclusions and say stuff like "they've entered the wrong number on FB" "it's an old number and they haven't updated their FB" or anything like that. Let me say, that manually dialling the exact same number, doesn't result in the error message. I can dial them fine from my landline and other handsets.
I have a suspicion I know what's causing the issue but I'm at a loss as to how to resolve it. The numbers from Facebook all seem to get modified with an 'international mobile dialling code' (or something, in my case +44 for UK).
So instead of showing as 07*********** it's showing as 44**********.
So my guess is the way FB is formatting these numbers is somehow confusing my phone, but I don't seem to be able to edit these numbers to the 07 version.
Any idea how I can get this sorted? Preferably without asking my 50+ contacts to check their formatting on FB
Thanks!
Multiple threads on this, it's a Facebook thing - unsync them and they'll be fine
