Hi I recently changed my service provider from Mobilicity to Wind Mobile and now I cannot send any text messages.
Every texts I send out results in "Message Not Sent" right after I send out a message..
I did some research and it seems like I need to update my SMSC settings.. However I cannot access my SMSC setting on my S2X by entering *#*#4636#*#* into the dialpad as it disappears every time when I enter it completely..
Does anyone know how I could possibly go about to fix this?
(FYI I'm running Jedi Mind Trick X3)
You have to change your APN settings. These tell the phone what servers and such to send sms through. Hopefully your new carrier's website will have the proper settings on it somewhere. If not, call them.
Sent from my beastly Galaxy S 2.
I've fixed it after alot of trial and error.
Apparently you need to delete all the past SMS from your previous provider before you are able to send any new messages using your new provdier.. on the default SMS app anyway. Handcent and other sms apps works regardless

My phone has stopped sending SMS messages. I can type them, with a recipient, but when I hit send, nothing happens. My SIM has not had SMS outgoing turned off, so it is a setting or code within the Dash.
I am running Unlocked Tmo WM6 on Rogers Wireless in Canada.
There must be a setting? Help!
Thanks...
When was the last time you had a successful sms sent out? Have you altered any settings recently? If not, I'd call Rogers and make sure they didn't disable sms from your account and see if they can help get you back up and running!
I had tried resetting a few times, with no change, I eventually fixed it by simply pulling the battery out for 5 minutes...
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!
grts,

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.
I tried to sent a text message and, after a slight delay, got the following:
Your text message cannot be sent.

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?!

PS: Stock ROM running WM6.5, unlocked GSM, nothing odd about the configuration/software either!
...bump.
Anyone?
Thx,

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
Hi all,
Been loving the Desire so far but this evening I got an mms from a friend, presumably showing me his own new Desire, and while the messaging app shows an unread message waiting it doesn't seem to want to download it.
The picture messaging settings seem accurate in the network settings so I'm at a loss as to what's up. This is all via T-Mobile, as per the subject, and everything configured itself when I put the sim in.
Any ideas?
I'm on t-mobile and receive and send mms mostly okay but there have been occasions where my mms wouldn't send at all. tried a different picture and it worked. I've had problems with mms and t-mobile on my iPhone before I got my Desire so I think it's a problem with t-mobile not the Desire?

You need to enable mms for you account, they are not included in the contract and thus you need to activate them online or by contacting them if it doesn't activate when you receive or send an mms.
All good suggestions, thanks.
I checked my account online and it's set to allow picture messages. I also just sent a picture to a friend, which arrived fine. I did notice that it disconnected from the net both before and after sending, so I'm thinking it's using different settings to send them.
Under Settings/Wireless & Networks/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names it does actually show two connections. One called T-Mobile Internet and one called Picture Message.
They're both very similar, except the T-Mobile Internet has no username/password set and no MMS server details. Also the APN type is set to "default" and "mms" respectively. Wondering if I should try combining the two...
Fake Edit: I just asked the same friend to send me a message back and this time it worked. Guess I just need to keep trying every once in a while to see if it happens again.
T-Mobile accounts generally are enabled for MMS to begin with, but to finalise the settings and actually activate it, you have to SEND an MMS. This activates the service.
Once you have done that, you can then normally receive.
if you hadn't sent an MMS before this, that is probably why.
Yeah that could be it, too; although I'm sure I'd sent MMS messages on my Touch HD before (same SIM). Ah well, it seems to be working for now at least! Thanks again all.
If you're using Handcent for sms / mms, that might also cause your issues...
Having quite a problem. Im able to receive/send calls and receive sms. But sending fails them. I checked the internet and people stated that the SMSC number is set to verizon. However, there is no option to change this number from settings. Even the service menu is blocked I would appreciate any help please.
