Major SMS problem

I know there are a couple of threads about this already but mine is a little different.
I got O2 XDA Orbit from ebay - put in my VodafoneUK sim card and everything works fine, MMS, GPRS, Internet and even GPS (don't know if the last one matters) - I haven't upgraded or changed any software or anything but my SMS text messages won't work - they sit in outbox for a minute or so then I get the error msg "your text message cannot be sent".
Ant help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Silly question but does the actual phone work - ie can you call out OK?
Can you receive messages?
My Orbit will receive OK but not always send in a poor signal area.
Stew,

Sorted It!!!!
To your answer sloss yes everything else works but I know what it is now.
I tried Start>Settings>Phone>Services...Voicemail and Text Messaging...select and then Get Settings........BUT it actually receives the WRONG yes the WRONG message centre number from the network.
Got a friends UK Vodafone phone and just copied his message centre number and Viola it worked fine, I'm so happy I could cry!!
Just thought this might help some others who may be having this problem.

MMS problem

I've checked just about everywhere and can't figure this out. I installed Ricky & Stylez Rose rom V1.7 and ever since i can receive T-mo MMS but can't send. Is there a fix for this? Other than that great rom.

Maybe try running the device configurator through T-Mobile?

or you could try running the device configurator?
as a last resort, have you tried running the device configurator?
Please post back with your results

how do i do that, sorry not too familiar with my gadget

I'm guessing you haven't done this since you don't know your device, go to Start Menu\Accessories\Connection Setup and choose the region and carrier you need.
MMS doesn't work straight away with any of the WM6.1 ROMs you have to set it up, also jdog has a link in sig with the settings.

yay! thanks!!! you people are awesome i don't know what i'd do without this site.

MMS
Thanks but i've tryed device configurator and i get the following : Error in the database. Any ideas. Also tryed t-mo configurator and that's how i finally got mms to receive. Last thing that i tryed was T-mobile USA MMS settings cab. Am i missing something or just stupid?

i always get error syncing
i've tried device config and the htc wiki excalibur 5.99 tzones mms setup and still error syncing
helP~!

you will always get a error while syncing, it never works. But once you have configured to your provider, it should receive and send just fine. Testing it is just a matter of sending one and asking someone to send you one. If you play your cards right, you may be able to get a "naughty" pic out of the deal

I'm experience little annoyance with it too.
I run connection setup and set it t-mobile, and i send my self a text with image I get notice about it but never get the damn picture or just queue there never downloads it.

that happened to me once all i did was under MMS go to tools then options, then go down to account settings, click menu, go to MMSC settings and make sure T-mobile MMS is checked.

yes indeed it does do that but with the right configuration it works well i personally downgraded to 1.4 which is best since it doesn't drop my calls every 45 scs or 1min45 secs or have people call me and reach my voicemail when my phone does't even ring or just doesn't allow me to call like i don't have network. it's just faultless

I cant send MMS, I tried everything.

For some reason I cant send MMS, it keeps telling the receiver the message "One or more of the message contents have been deleted by MMS adaptation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your device."
The files iam trying to send are only 20kb. I also did put it on free creation mode. And iam using arcsoftmms v5 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476947&highlight=CRCs_ArcSoft_MMS_v5
Does anyone know anything else I can do? Should I switch back to the arcsoft that came with the extrom? Hard reset?

i don't have too much experience, when it comes to mms, but if there was a arcsoft version in the extrom coming with the rom, you certainly should use that version, because it was tested and works definitely. to do that, you don't need to hard reset, normally uninstalling the one version and installing the other one should be enough. plus you should also check, that your carrier settings for mms are right, usually the operator would send you the correct settings by extended sms.

Alright will do, I'll post back if it worked or not.
EDIT: Yay! I got it working. After numerous hours of researching and testing. All I had to do was a hard reset, and reinstall... Damn, I guess I screwed up the settings or something.

cant get the mms done
I just couldn's send or receive any mms.. Im wondering y? I already send the settings via the operator. It says i will get the sms to do the required settings.. However i do not get it. Instead, if i used other phone, i will get the settings.. Pls help

first of all, do you have arcsoft mms installed? you can check by looking it up either in the installed programs list, your extrom folder on the pc or simply by opening pocket outlook and look, whether the account picker displays an mms account. if not, search the forum for the program. there are a lot of different version floating around and you probably need to try out, which version fits your om and works for you. then you look for the settings and probably your carrier's settings sms can only work with arcsoft installed in the first place. if even then you don't receive an sms from your carrier, after you ordered it, it is a problem with your carrier and you'd probably have to contact them about it.

[Q] MIUI Australia, cant send sms or use data

Hey, i have just installed the newest MIUI Australia 3.1.11v2 on my HOX, and i have one simple problem.
At first nothing worked, but after a few reinstallations, the only thing not working now is sms and data.
I can make calls, recieve calls and recieve sms's, but i can't send any sms's myself, and i cant get on the internet unless using wifi.
I updated my hboot to 1.39, and if there is anything else you need, just ask
Hope someone can help me.

If it was something with the APN, then why is it only data and sms that dosnt work. I can still make calls, and i can recieve calls and sms's.
Besides i already have the carriers name in the status bar.

What can I tell ya? Same with me, the carrier shows up in the status bar, I can make and receive calls, but no data. The phone recognizes carrier (virgin), it's just the proxy and ports that are missing in the APN. Easy to fix, easy to bookmark for future reference.

Any way to change my SMSC (SMS Service Center)?

Hello everyone,
I'm on the current AOKP Milestone (4.2.2) on a maguro (GSM version)
I have to switch between two sim cards from two different countries and I cannot send SMS from one of them (just reports an error without any further info "SMS could not be sent."). Which is really bad for me since I have to activate my data and minute plans by sms.
Tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979564
Still can't send sms.
Tried changing the SIM Card's messaging center on an old phone, still cannot send sms.
Is there any other way of changing the messaging center? Or is there at least a way to verify which one my phone is currently using?
Thanks a lot guys

What written there really is the solution. Putting the right number on SMSC field and clicking Update solved it for me.
Are you sure you put the correct number in and did a restart to make sure? Try googleing "<your carrier> SMSC" to find the number.
If nothing helps including trying on another phone, why not call the carrier for support?

Sorry for the late reply. I put the SIM card in an older phone and it gave me an error message saying it was a network error. Since it's a new SIM card that's possible so I'll have to contact the provider.
Yesterday a friend of mine ran out of battery on his iphone and put his sim card into my nexus and again it wasn't able to send sms. So he used another friend's iPhone and everything was fine. What's wrong there? SMS seems to be a difficult task for our nexus... or on android in general
