[Q] [Fixed] Help! Cannot Send SMS with any ROM!

Hey xda,
My Desire has stopped sending sms's since i installed MIUI-AU 1.6.10 - used many ROMS before but never had this issue.
The first time i switched to MIUI i followed the instruction to flash the corresponding *.DX.zip file before flashing the ROM [see their site] which i did, then flashed the rom - all seemed ok and since then every time i send an sms to any number, from contacts/manually typed or what have you it gives an error - 'message not sent'
Since then, ive switched to the updated MIUI-AU,MIUI 1.6.17 (running currently), RCMix..whatver is their latest build - and im sure the issue will come back with any other rom.
Now obviously following all instructions and all i must have skipped something that is causing this..
Before flashing miui 1.6.17 i wiped everything and my SD card is setup for A2sd with the right partitions and extentions
Im running a CM7 HBoot if that matters.
If anyone has a clue please let me know here - im happy to provide any more information...cheers
Fixed: Guys if you ever get into the Messaging settings>Advanced>SMS Message Centre..don't change the default number stored there - i just called up my provider (Telstra) and they gave me the correct number to use and now everything is back to normal

Did you try to get the settings from your provider? You could try to reset them if you have got an account for the internet portal of your provider. You could also try to call them.
I don't know if you need special settings for every provider, but you can try this.

Thanks for the reply - phones here in AUS will normally get the settings as soon as you insert the SIM card but because i had deliberately messed with the sms message centre number i had to ring them to get that...your post got me thinking what i had changed and it just made sense

[Q] Flashed CyanogenMod 7.1 and Cannot send SMS

Hello, I flashed CyanogenMod 7.0.3 last night and was able to send SMS when I first booted, but I could not after next boot.
I decided to just flash to CyanogenMod 7.1 and Cannot send SMS still, I have looked for the Message Centre number to ensure this is correct but I cannot find this on my phone?
Any help would be great

Try going to phone dialer and dialing *#*#4636#*#*
The phone will go into a back end utility menu. Select Phone Information option. Half way down is an empty area with SMSC next to it. Enter your message centre number and update. Might resolve your problem but can't guarantee anything

How do i find out my message centre number? Im near philadelphia and using sprint. googled it but cant find anything concrete.

@bobblin
take another phone from ur friend or any one else having same network as urs and collect the message centre number from that phone (not htc any other like se or nokia)and copy it to ur phone by dailing *#*#4636#*#* and goto phone information>SMSC.

What do you mean by (not HTC)
Also, how do you find the message center number on the friends phone? The same way you enter it on your own phone? *#*#yada yada?

Yea!!! It solved the same problem on my HTC Tattoo/Click with CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1 Nightly 256

I have flashed 7.2 RC. I have to retry sending sms 3-4 times and then the sms are sent. I tried changing the SMSC no but no use. Same prblm...pls help

If you have the problem on Android 4.2.
Enter *#*#4636#*#*
write the number in the mentioned field in "":
like "+00000000000"
This worked for me...
If you just type the number it will ignore your setting. ""-ing it solved that.

Sms failed?

I have been getting sms fail texts on my GT-S5660M. Bell says it is not the network. Samsung said it isnt the phone. Does anyone have any ideas what to do? It is driving me nuts. I have to go into airplane mode and back out of it to send them

Have you tried another SMS applicatied than the original?
Something like GO SMS.
Consider a full wipe too or another rom, if you're still with sotck one.

Have you flashed any ROMs on your device? What is your current ROM? I myself have a GT-S5660M, so feel free to message me! I can send you the Canadian baseband which you can flash with Odin. I will walk you through the process!

May b Message Centre number has changed.
Try to set it back in ...
Message > Setting > Message centre

[Q] I can't send text messages???

It's been a week now and I still can't send any text messages.
I receive msgs but unable to respond back...
I thought it was because I finally updated to Jellybean (I've had ICS for awhile so I thought I should just stick to that) but then I downgraded last night to ICS and I still can't send messages.
well today I tried fixing it but still no luck, although I tried sending an MMS instead, I sent myself a picture and it worked! even tried it to other numbers and they received it. I also tried adding a text with the picture and it did work. but it's still not working when I just type in a text...
so anyway in short, I can't send SMS but can send MMS (and receive messages as well)
also extra: I can call people but whenever they call me it comes up as unknown number...
and btw I already checked the message centre number and it has the right number in it so I don't think the issues w/ that
Does anyone of you know what might be the problem? How can I fix it? Thanks

Did you flash new modem? Or did you Odin stock 4.1.2?

what does that mean? im sorry im not good at this but well i did something last night, i downgraded back to ICS 4.0.3 (from 4.1.2) using odin
I thought that would resolve the issue since everything occured after I upgrade to jellybean 4.1.2... but im now back to the old version but SMS still wont work. (but I can receive msgs and send a msg if it's MMS, which is very strange)

flash to a 4.1.2 or higher, i would recommend it since you always want to have the newest software since it makes your phone run buttery smooth lol. flash to another rom you want and flash properly! if sms still dont work find a radio zip file you can flash(but make sure its the one right for your rom!) and that should fix it

There's no right or wrong radio for particular roms. If its 4.1.2 or higher, there's only 2. Period. The new T-Mobile and the new Telus. They're the only 2 that work on any JB rom these days.

Well I don't have to now because it's fixed!
There wasn't any issue on my phone........ it was T-mobile all along -__-
I called them this morning and apparently they had my sent messages blocked, and they didn't had any idea why.
So they unchecked it and I can text perfectly fine.
Thanks for trying to help~!

I have this same problem, I'm going to call my service provider soon.

[Q] Cannot call or receive calls, but can text and use 4G

Ok so I did a ton of stuff to my phone like rooting, flashing different ROMS, but in the end I want to get my phone back to stock, so I flashed the stock firmware with LG Flash Tool but now I can't call anyone and incoming comes don't come through. I just get a "out of service area" after a while whenever I try calling someone. Texting works and internet works, and so does Wifi. Also, my time is 3 hours fast when it's set to automatic in the settings. I don't know why it's doing this. And my IMEI is 0. Here are some pictures of my settings. One more thing. Since I flashed the stock, in my android devices, Google doesn't recognize my old device anymore. It treats this phone like a new device now. Weird... Anyone know how I can fix this problem?
Oh and when I try to update my phone it gives me this: "Your phone is not registered yet"
So many problems, I'm so sad

Do you have a EFS backup? Your IMEI is 00000000000000.... That's NOT the way it should be. Maybe the network provider blocks you from using the network because of an invalid IMEI (don't know for sure) but since you reflashed Stock ROM i don't think it's modem related...

I think I fixed it! I just used the kdz method of going back to stock instead of the tot/dll method and it fixed my problems! I got it from this thread if anyone else has the same problem:
