first off I have a lumia 900 from AT&T with the new 7.8 update. I have also contacted Nokia about my problems but they just tell me to contact AT&T, so here I am. Can some one please explain to me how group texting works and why it goes through as MMS when there is no data involved? If I dont have a data connection I dont get the message (which is a problem for me when I travel). I get the message (media content in this message) or (we cant show some content in this message). Again no pictures or video were sent just a text to multiple people. Another problem is contact share app, the app just doesnt work, I cant send or recieve anything. Most of the time this happens when the other person sends info from an iphone.

When I try to reply to a message sent to me from one particular person, I get a message from System Administrator saying "The message you sent has been delivered" Whenever I get this message, the person I was replying to does not get a text from me. If I open a new message and add this person as a recipient, then he gets the message. Why is there this error and how do I fix it? Does anyone know? I love the phone but this error showing up and not sending my messages makes me want to get a new phone because the person I cant reply to is my fiance!
In my past experience with verizon, you will receive that message when you attempt to send a text message to a land line. It might be that you have numbers stored in the wrong fields. For example, you accidentally stored the home phone in the mobile field.
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
Hey guys,
Picked up a desire yesterday and its great, though I'm having some issues with sms. I notice I don't receive any texts until I send a text first, then I'll receive 2 or 3 texts, timestamped in the past, up to an hour ago!
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks.
edit: unrooted on o2
i get a similar problem, i know i should have received a text message but it doeant show up for hours.
unrooted on tmobile uk
Most likely when your phone is connected over GPRS the text don't come through till you disconnect, used to happen on my N95.
So if my phone is operating in GPRS mode, until it decides it doesn't need the internet anymore and disconnects, it won't retrieve texts... right. So any workarounds or fixes for this?
Prety much, after I use GPRS I just made a call and during or after the call my text came in.
Been getting this all day, are people really just dealing with this or is it only a few people that have this issue?
I am having another problem... on T-mobile, my phone won't download MMS messages. It will just say Download error, General Network Failure... After it expired (3days) , I was sent a link to the T-mobile website, where I am able to see it for 14 days.
Another problem that I am having, the phone is struggling sending long text messages... 4 or 5 normal lenght messages 500-600 characters... I am using the Text App provided with the phone.
I have a problem that I dont think is an actual problem I think its just how the phone works, and tbh its a bit rubbish.
If you dont have signal when you hit send (im my office at work I only get signal on a little square of the desk) the phone says "message not sent". Sometime when it gets signal it will send the message, but if it doesnt get signal quick enough it seems to just give up sending.... a bit lame really....
I'm going to post a message up with the T-mobile UK MMS settings so people in future can find it on search. Have a look in 5 mins.
JAmes.
I've got the same issue with my HTC Desire.
My operator is a Belgium one, namely Mobistar.
I've got the impression that when i open the sms box, i start seeing the messages. Don't know if it's the communication that goes wrong, or the 'throughput' in the phone (screen, alerting...).
After installing (and using of course) chompSMS, this problem is gone... yipppie...
I have an unlocked Desire, my mom has an iPhone 4, we're on a family plan on AT&T in the US. I can send/receive picture messages to/from everyone, she can send/receive picture messages to/from everyone, we can send text messages to each other, I can send picture messages to her, BUT SHE CAN'T SEND PICTURE MESSAGES TO ME. When she does, my phone's screen comes on and the "H / 3G" icon lights up to show it's downloading something, and then no message shows up. It doesn't say "downloading error" or anything, it just acts like nothing ever happened. However, I had a few of my friends with iPhone 4's to send me picture messages and they always worked perfectly. AT&T tech support has no idea what's going on, except perhaps it's some weird server issue due to her being on an iPhone plan and me being on a regular data plan and us being on the same family text plan. But no one really knows. Before she had the iPhone she had a Motorola KRZR and we never had this issue.
Anyone have ANY IDEA what could be going on here? She thought maybe I accidentally changed something in my phone settings to block MMS's from her phone number, but I'm not sure that's even possible. Any thoughts?

It sounds like an issue with MMSC Router Profile for those devices and related to a CUG or call user group glitch. Are you on a " Family " Plan?

Yes we are. My dad is also on the plan, and it works fine when he tries to send me picture messages, and when my mom sends him picture messages.
I was being charged the group texts as photo messages (on Orange network), just now orange support people confirmed me that there's a bug in Nokia Lumia phones that it always send group texts as photo messages. is it true? any body else facing the issue? any fix?
cheers...
I don't think that's exclusive to the Lumia, or a bug. Pretty sure that's just how Windows Phone works. You may want to look at using GroupMe which does go over SMS or Push.
hmm, you mean sending sms to more than one person on windows phone goes out a photo message or MMS message? I think this was not the case in HTC Mozart i used to have last year and even in previous versions of windows phone.
is there any setting I need to change? unfortunately the orange support team gave a clear verdict that on Nokia Lumia any sms going out to more than one receipient will go as MMS / photo messages.
If you look at Messaging settings it says "Helps keep replies in one thread by using MMS" under the Group Text option. So, group text is going to use MMS on any WP7 device, not just a Lumia.

Try turning off Group Text option in Messaging Settings and see if that fixes it.
Thanks and I've just turn the group text off and tested with my colleagues, it's ok now. but will check the group messages abroad because that's where I was charged as photo text messages.
cheers....
