I tried to sent a text message and, after a slight delay, got the following:
Your text message cannot be sent.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is there some sort of app or registry setting that I could change that'd ask if I wanted to resend the message? Having to retype in messages is rather annoying.
According to this post Windows Mobile 6.1 added this feature but I don't see it and I'm running 6.5. Maybe the HTC TouchFlo 3D interface removed it?

It doesn't retain a copy of the message in your drafts folder, or outbox...? Whenever I get that message I can just pull it up from there and hit send again
Whenever I get this message, after trying to resend it a few times, I realize I tried sending a text to an email address.
Make sure the number has an area code as part of the number.
Just another possible solution.
Is it for all text messages? If its a specific number sometimes the persons number is disconnected

this is the correct answer...if you have a good signal and you get that error msg, then that person has not paid their billy bill...
This problem comes up quite often if you've flashed a different radio onto your device. If you have flashed a custom radio, try out another or stock. If that's not the case, you might be in a poor coverage area. Both are common culprits, but may not apply for you.
SMS doest go to outbox folder
I have the same problem
When I have no service coverage I would like to type sms messages and as soon as I get it make phone send them all out. But unfortunately, when I don't have service HTC touch pro 2 keeps trying to send sms out and after a couple of attempts gives me message that it was not able to send it. I have to click on each message and resend it when I have service. Instead, I want my phone to put all sms into outbox sms folder and send them all when I actually have service.
I know other phones perform this function well. I went thru all settings but couldn't get it to put sms into outbox when no service available.
Does anyone have fix for that?
Also having a similar problem
Hi all,
Same, or similar thing with me. I'm on Vodafone in the UK, and I've got a friend who is on '3' in the UK. If I text him with a new fresh message, and hit send, it goes to him no problems. If he replies and I attempt to reply back - then I get "Your message could not be sent. Try again?" underlined in red. Tapping on this just generates the same problem again and again.
I've tried his number with/without spaces in it, ensured his contact name has no non-alpha characters in it, tried his number in +447xxx format as well as 07xxxx - all to no avail.
It does not happen with any other contact in my phonebook and I end up having to let the message fail, then forwarding my reply to him, so it leaves my device as a new message.
Now, as it's the UK, its nothing to do with him having not paid his bill (we don't get charged to receive SMS in the UK), and I've got great signal (I work for a Vodafone associated company and we've got a cell on-site, so it's full signal of HSUPA for me).
I am completely at a loss to understand why this happens - I have other friends on '3' that SMS's go to fine, so I'm guessing it's not a Vodafone to '3' issue either.
Any ideas anyone?!

...bump.
Anyone?

change your network setting for automatic to manual. and enable call waiting now your problem is solved. i was suffering from the same problem but now solved
Please save a poor woman from getting unwanted texts
I run a junior football squad.
One of the 'soccer mums' originally gave me a wrong mobile number starting 07940 ... which resulted in a poor woman getting lots of texts from me.
I corrected the number on the contact to 07540 ...
If I send a text directly the text goes to 07540 ...
If I reply to a text from 07540... the text actually goes to the 07940 number
If I try and dial 07940... then it comes up with no suggested numbers/contacts. When I receive a text from the poor pestered woman it still comes up with the contact name.
So. I tried deleting the contact (John Smith) and recreated it using a different name (John S). I can no longer find a John Smith in my contacts (even when ticking all the sources to look in - GMAIL, FBOOK etc).
However Gesture Search still finds a John Smith somewhere I have refreshed the index and even reinstalled gesture search but it still finds a John Smith.
Also the SMS thread containing a variety of the 07540 and 07940 numbers all now say they are from JOHN S.
Im confused but the woman receiving rogue texts is getting very p****d off.
Anyone ???
Is it possible that the rogue number is synchronised to your Gmail account, so even if you delete it, it will resync to your phone? Check your gmail account for that number.
Also go to the good number and make sure it's not linked to the rogue one.
Tried that. The contact john smith isn't on my gmail at all. The only place I can find it is using gesture search
Worst come to worst, Settings > Privacy >Factory data reset.
have you tried changing the default number in use in the people app?
I don't understand but sometimes the Contact Names decided to appear and other times they don't. Like take for example my friend Curt, he sent me an SMS but the name didn't come up, only his number starting in +44, then about an hour later his name mysteriously appeared again. In the Call Log this is also happening where number are shown but not the name.
Could this be somehow to do with the phone not recognizing number starting in '0' and '+44' because I think all the contacts I have on my WhatsApp, this does not happen with them and that's because WhatsApp saves them as +44.
I can't really go through and change all my contacts numbers to +44 but that might not even be the issue. Does someone have a clue. Any help would be MUCH appreciated as often I don't even know who it is that called me or texted me.
Thanks.

I see a lot of threads on this issue. I'm hoping since most of them are dated around 2012, maybe there is a fix for this recently.
I have ElectronTeam's dn4v2 rom on my t889. There are a few issues I'm having in the past couple weeks (since flashing) but the latest is a problem with texting.
It starts with the fact that I'm not receiving group messages in Samsung's SMS app. So, I don't really like Hangouts as an SMS/MMS app, but one good thing about it is that it receives group messages and displays them as such. However, when I try to send a message to a new contact/start a new thread, it gives me the option to send from my Google voice # or Carrier Number "Unknown". I'm assuming that means the recipient will not know the text is from me?
In one of the threads, I read that if my phone number is correctly listed in "About Device", I would be able to send and receive Group messages in Samsung's SMS app( a feature introduced after JB)
In About Device>MY Phone Number> Unknown.
In my contacts, the first contact listed is ME, and my phone number is correct.
I've gone into Contacts>Settings>Contacts>Contacts to display> Sim card and my number is there.
I put the sim card in my old phone running Cyanaogen, and went into call settings etc., and the phone # is listed.
So I believe that my sim card has my number. But for some reason it's not getting recognized. Perhaps this is a rom issue?
I'd say 30% of my contacts have been messed up since the latest AT&T update a few weeks ago. Here is whats going on...
I get a call and it says it's from one of my contacts, lets say Tom Smith, but it is actually from Sally Jones. The name says Tom Smith but the phone number belongs to Sally. I end the call and view contact. It shows Tom's name but Sally's phone number. Sometimes It shows Tom and Sallys phone number under the same contact! It's like it took some of my contact names and their phone numbers and addresses and mixed them all around.
Maybe unrelated but for years now, over half of my contacts have multiple entries in my contact list for some reason. For example I might have John Adams listed 7 or 8 times in my address book but only one of them has his phone number and address in it. I only ever knew one John Adams and only added him once to my contact list.
Is there a easy fix for ALL this?
I don't think I have my contacts synced to any account except maybe AT&T. I have several hundred contacts that I only have saved on my phone and really don't want to go into each one and verify that is their correct information. In fact I would have to call many of them to verify their info because what I have is all mixed.
Thanks...
