[Q] Cannot send SMS

MMS, data, voice all work fine. I can receive SMS. SMS was working before. This problem occurred after I flashed a custom ROM and then restored the backup from CWM. My Nexus is on Straight Talk using stock rooted ROM.

Try changing the SMSC (SMS Centre) number.
You need to dial
*#*#4636#*#*
and select the first option.

Had the same issue before.

How do I find/ what is my smsc number?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Getting the real SMSC for android is a bit tricky
1.) Find the SMS centre number of your carrier (e.g. for t-mobile DE -> +49 171 076 0000)
2.) go to http://twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode
3.) Enter the SMS centre number in the field "SMSC" and clear receiver and the message "How are you?"
4.) Click on "Convert"
5.) On the right side you'll see something like (in my example)
0791947101670000110000910000AA00
the first two digits show you the length. (7)
6.) 7x2+2 = 16 (+2 cause of the length needed[?]); Mark 16 digits from the start of the number. (here 0791947101670000) Thats your SMSC Number.
Go back to
*#*#4636#*#*
first option, scroll down to "SMSC" and enter your SMSC, click the button directly next to the input field.
Leave this screen and go back to it. Scroll down to the SMSC section and click the right button. (if everything is correct, you should now see the correct SMSC number instead of "00")
If you need further help, feel free to send me a PM.

Thanks a lot. That link is dead but I found a post with the number:
07913121139418F0 which worked for an ATnT customer and now it's working. I'm about to search for another udp encoder so I can use the proper straight talk smsc. Much appreciated!

DUDE!!!! Double thanks for posting this question and SMSC number. I am on Straight Talk and had somehow got my SMSC wiped. Its been a week raising hell with ST when I read something about the no SMS and their SMSC reading as 00. Checked mine and sure enough 00. Thanks again.

NO KIDDING! I was having the same problem, and now it's fixed, thanks to you guys! ST is not very helpful over the phone, however I have found they have much better customer service over facebook.

I tried using the number in this thread and the att number and I still cannot send messages. When I refresh the smsc number after entering the att number, I get the same number with an extra 0 at the end. I know why it was wiped, I just cannot get it back. No matter which number I try, I still get a message not sent error

I hope you got this sorted. But it needs to be said your SMSC number is carrier specific. My carrier is Straight Talk specifically but I am using the At&t MVNO not the T-mobile. Since my service is through At&t's network, I'm using At&t's SMSC number. You will need to find or decipher your carriers SMSC.

I ended up getting it. My code was exactly the same but when I tried it, I did not capitalize the letter and it would not work. As soon as I did, it worked so all is well

[Req][MIUI]Mexican Users and SMS Centre Number DB

Hi guys this is a simple request for a configuration number. I've been having an issue with sms, the thing is that I can receive and make calls without problems, even I can recive sms's but I can't send any sms I always get an error saying "Cannot send sms" I think it is related to the "SMS Centre Number" wich is automatically given in the messaging app, I remember that I used to have a number in that menu but now I only have "00", it is under "Messaging/Settings/Advanced Settings/SMS Centre Number" If anyone can share your sms centre number we can build a data base for further problems we might have with it.
The number I need is the one for Mexico's Telcel carrier (I really dont know if it is a generic number or if there is centralized server that gives you your carrier's sms centre number)
I have not been messing with Base Band (Radio), I still have the one that came with my phone, also I'm using franco kernel milestone 4.
Thanks in advance, I hope you can help me out guys.

No such option in my ROM. Looks like a MIUI related issue. You should try a different ROM.

Google Voice

I just bought my T999 two days ago, and am just getting a feel for this phone. I've not rooted it yet, and may not for a bit. I haven't decided.
I have rooted several other phones, so I'm comfortable with that process. I just want to get a feel for a few weeks, and even see when/if 4.1 gets officially released in the short-term.
That said, I've been using GV since it came out; really before it was officially released. I load it on my phone, and when I go to configure the voicemail, it fails. I've called TMO tech support, and of course they don't want to touch this.
Any thoughts on this? Is there truly an incompatibility with GV on the T999 as the TMO rep told me? I've searched the Apps forum, and could not find anything remotely related to this issue.

From the dialer screen, hit menú, go to call settings, scroll down to voice mail service and try it that way, I had the same issue

I tried that, and the calls are still being routed to the carrier voice mail. New messages are not routing to Google Voice.
Dangit!

Settlement it up online. It will have you enter codes and such.

You have to go to Google voice settings Not just your Google settings. It walks you thru on setting up new/different phone number
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

If you are on T-mo prepay, they don't support conditional forwarding. However any t-mo number can get to a tech support (call a few times if need to) and they can just change your voicemail number in the system to your GV number.
Alternatively you can follow GSM codes and Google Voice instructions.
Type into your phone...
*004*1XXXYYYZZZZ# dial
That will forward (missed calls, busy, and phone not reachable) calls to that number.
Also, on T-mo (not prepay) and AT&T you can set the number of seconds before the ringing call goes to VM.
*61*1XXXYYYZZZZ**10# dial
Where 10 is the number of seconds the phone rings before going to VM.
You can look it up, but valid numbers there are 5, 10, 15, 20, 30.
You can save that as a contact and change the time it rings based on location.
(If you have two GV numbers, you could direct missed calls to one voicemail box,
and phone off /no service calls to another number for a different message)
Enjoy.

Also, just FYI, install the GV app on any android phone (since the G1), and it will allow you to toggle outgoing calls being made through GV or your call service (or prompt you each time you dial). So if the GV app is running you can call someone and the caller ID is your GV number. The phone says something about calling 1-800-whatever which is google's relay number. The app also allows you to listen to voicemails and full access to the same stuff in the webpage (ie. send SMS from the app, block calls, etc).
The only difference is that Sprint has totally integrated GV numbers with their phones, so you can actually send and receive calls from GV number without the app running or intermediate 800 number. (maybe they pseudo port your GV number)
Also protip, you can transfer GV numbers between different gmail accounts. You can even swap two GV numbers but it requires a third dummy google acct. The only thing in transferring is that you must have different pin numbers and the receiving account must not have any GV number associated with it (or you just transfer it to a new dummy acct). You can also have the same GV number listed on two gmail accounts is they both set the number to Home instead of Cell, but that means you cannot get SMS forwards. Google has a special webpage for the transferring process, which happens almost instantly.

You go to voice.google.com and add a cellphone to your account (or edit the number the acct is associated with). When you do this google with call you and you have to enter in two numbers. Or if you do not already have a GV number it will walk you through the process (pick a GV number, enter your cell number, confirmation, done)

Go into settings from your dialer, call forwarding, and then change the last three numbers to your gv number then it will work properly. For some reason the app doesn't do that part properly on our phones.

AT&T Voicemail on CM10 broken.

I recently installed CM10 and have not been able to listen to my voicemails. When I get a notification for a voicemail and try to call, it says "No voicemail number is stored on the sim card". Is there a number I can add to get this up and running? Tried using Google voice but it says there was an error forwarding the number. Anyone know how I can fix this?

Not sure how you could fix it permanently, but for a temporary fix just call your cell number on your phone and listen that way.

Thanks, that worked. Is this a known problem with installing an AOSP ROM? I'm coming from Verizon and I never had this problem.

I've actually had the same exact problem as you did. After days of searching, here's the solution:
Dial *#61# from your phone. AT&T will send you your voice mail number. Copy that down.
From the Dialer, hit Menu and go to Settings>Voicemail>Setup>Voicemail number. Punch in that number, and you're good to go.

I had trouble with this too. Go to the google voice webpage and verify your google number, youll get the same error if you try the mmi code given when you click 'activate'...so just get your google number and then on your phone settings under call forwarding change the forward number(s) to your google number, and keep the +1 in front. you may need to change your google number if this doesnt work, mine worked fine once i did that, but you might not have to. hope this helps.

Ya, right out of the box, setting up google voice didnt work properly. Had to manually set my forwarding numbers as my google voice. I had to do it manually, OH THE HUMANITY. Lol

I wish I knew that earlier. I called at&t tech support and they provided me with the correct voicemail number immediately.

Trouble with contact numbers on Lollipop

So, if I add the country code to my contacts, the calls will be show as an unregistered number. If I remove the country code, the texts will show as if coming from an unknown/unregistered number. This is very annoying.
Anyone have any idea on how to sort this out?

Indeed it is. I just wish I hadn't updated...

Nobody knows a solution for this ? I have this damn annoying thing to...

I found a work around. I ditched the stock messaging app for GO SMS Pro and the contacts appear fine. After that, I removed the country code from the contacts so that the names will appear when they call me.

same problem here. A phone number entered with a country code and the same number entered without country code are 2 different numbers according to my m8.....

Same problem...

i've installed dialer+ and the recent call list is right (in dialer+). The stock dialer is still showing it wrong.
So I guess it's a bug in the dialer. I'ts not possible to update or downgrade the dialer apk on a non rooted phone?!?

I use the hangouts for SMS and in contacts I have the number without Internacional prefix...
