[Q] Unable to make outgoing calls / text messages - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently flashed my desire with mildwild. Everything worked fine. However i have 1 issue, i cannot make outgoing phone calls or send text message. I can receive phone calls fine, and i can also browse the web with hsdpa.
So when i try to make an outgoing call it return the message call ended, after half a second.
Things i've tried so far:
- Flash a different rom
- Upgrade radio
- Flash a different rom again
So then i thought maybe it's related to my SIM card. I tried a different provider sim in my desire, and gues what, I can make outgoing calls!
Then i tried my orginal desire SIM card in a nokia (6310i, yeah ). And it gives me the error message : Nummer barred. What does this mean? And what should be my next step ?
Thanks for your help!

I think you proved there is nothing wrong with your phone but with your SIM card. Sounds to me like you don't have any balance left if you are using a prepaid card, or there is some problem with your contract.
But you being able to browse the web doesn't quite fit into this theory.
Anyway, you should contact your provider.

Just had contact with my provider. It appears that the bill from 2 months ago hasn't been paid. Paid, and now i can call again.... Now i just have to figured out why the bill didnt get paid in the first place..
Kinda weird tho, the provider didnt send me a letter or message informing me about the unpaid bill / blockade.
Anyways, everything is fixed now, now to reinstall the wildmild mod again. Thanks for your help

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.

can't receive or send any sms

hi guys
i ve a problem i am not able to receive or send any sms. My rhodium is tilt2 , I try to chage the radio from 4.49.25.91 to 4.48.25.20 to see if that may help but nope still stuck!
I am running the official european rom from htc (sense 2.5).
Any idea?
up
Does data work? Phone calls? SMS is on the same band as phone calls...if you can make calls you should be able to send/receive SMS.
NET
Install the NET messages3.5 cab its located inthe app section of this website
www.krenisiswinmobilegamesapps.com
well yes i can receive phone call.
I am going to install NET messages3.5 cab.
I know whenever I put a sim card into my Rhodium it looks for a service to connect to, and when you pick your carrier it sets everything up. Try removing it and putting it back in. Your problem seems to me that it is something wrong with the connection setup within the SMS area.
Also, If you have a buddy with the same phone on the same provider check his settings and see if they match up.
well after reinstalling the net 3.5 net i am still stuck.
I allready retry to get the right setting via the auto configuration when you put your sim card, put didn't get any luck!
resolved
I changed the text messages service center number to
+19703769301 (for att user)
and it is working

Text message problems

Hi
I have a problem - sometimes i receive text messages and sometimes i don't. It could be due to not having network coverage but, when i do get coverage, i still don't receive the messages. I get other messages later on saying things like 'did you get my message'. I don't know if the problem is with my 4 year old sim card, the phone, or the network. I am in the UK using Talkmobile. P.S my calls still work and I can send text messages.
Thanks in advance
Try removing your sim, & insert a newer one to confirm, if it is a problem with phone or sim card.

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

Not receiving texts

My wife's Capitvate Glide stopped receiving texts a couple of days ago. The phone is running stock ICS, not rooted. She can send texts just fine, and she can make and receive phone calls. ATT says they don't see anything wrong on their end. I've tried rebooting, pulling the SIM and battery, but it still doesn't receive texts.
Hi
I found that as a possible answer:
AT&T indicated that it was a problem with the network registration, given every piece of my phone's communication worked except for receiving SMS. This turned out to be true. The solution was to put the sim card in another phone, which overrode the network registration for my number. After about a minute, the second phone received all of the texts that the first had not been able to get, and then I could move the sim card back into my regular phone and receive texts as normal.

The woman at the ATT store did that and it did fix it, sort of. Later in the day the phone was still receiving texts but could not send them - it just said "Failed". I pulled the battery for about 15-20 minutes and that issue was fixed.
I think we'll be getting a new phone for my wife soon...
