Stock Virgin HTC One V CDMA -rooted- ... Trying to enter a local contest by entering a text message and sending to 79640 - I get returned "You rec'd this msg because you sent a text to a number without the area code or used an invalid short code or you are blocked from using this service. Msg 2133"
Anyone else on Virgin not able to send like this?
Anyone know if Virgin has this ability blocked?
Short codes don't work on VM
Evidently Virgin doesn't allow you to dial anything shorter than a full number (area code + phone number).

my VM does not function when someone calls my number. When called the systems askes for the 9 diget number to ID the box. When entered the system tells me it can not find the VM box.
I'm using Non-ATT stock ROM. It was working with ATT original ROM.
Anybody has the same problem? or know how to fix it?
I had this and called AT&T and they fixed it.... I went from Iphone to the tilt 2 and I think they still had it as Visual voicemail and they needed to reset it.
Go into phone options, then click around until you see TTY, voicemail and tex, call forwarding, etc. Highlight voicemail and text and click get, etc.
It will connect to ATT and pop up the numbers. You then enter in the correct number.
To get the correc #, you need to call ATT or check a few peoples phone that is in your city, and with ATT and see what they have.
^ good call tatung70, thanks.
Hi,
I'm getting an error when trying to text overseas on my Evo. First off, let me say that all my numbers are stored in the +XXX format, so for US they are +1 2125551212 and for overseas, say UK, they would be +442075551212. To the best of my knowledge all phones should support this. I used it on T-mobile without an issue. Today, I received a text from a friend in the UK. When I tried to reply I got the following error:
"9230: Message sent to invalid destination. Please check your number and try again. Msg 2127"
I called Sprint, and they were clueless. They told me not to use the +44 format and instead to use the 01144 format instead. However, that's really annoying because now when I go overseas, none of my numbers will work. As an additional confusion, calling numbers using the +44 format works just fine. This issue is unique to texting.
Thoughts?
I am having the same issue. Worked great on my EVO for a couple of months and now that I have switched to a Photon, I get the same error as you.
I can call just fine using int'l format but now int'l SMS doesn't work.

Chances are, your settings are default, but see if this helps in case something is different:
Settings > Call Settings -> Plus Code Dialing Setting
Make sure the checkbox is set, the the dialing code is set to 011.
Evo 4G LTE
I'm having this same problem with my Evo LTE. I imported all of my contacts and SMS history from my Desire, which I had used in Germany for the last 2 years.
A bunch of the numbers don't work. I tried updating a few numbers of people I SMS frequently, but it didn't solve the problem. It looks like any thread that was STARTED with an international number defaults back to that number any time I SMS in that thread, or even respond to an SMS from that contact. Even when the incoming number shows up in U.S. (xxx) xxx-xxxx format, I still get a 2127 error for replies.
When I update my voicemail settings, or call forwarding, I get a "Unexpected response fron network" error message. I called my provider (Rogers) and said it appears to be correct on their system... However, it doesn't seem so because when people call me, they get forwarded to Google Voice... I already uninstalled Google Voice, and it was taken out already, however, it still forwards to there which is a USA number and I'm in Canada, so people who call me get forwarded to a long distance number and it bothers me and them so much...
Rogers told me to contact HTC but I want to hear your solutions first guys... BTW, I'm using the Virtuous ROM (which is almost entirely stock packages)
Help?

I was getting the same error and this worked for my desire on orange:-

"Try sending ##21# which is the network code to cancel all forwarding."
Call Forwarding Problem
I have an unlocked AT&T Atrix on Orange UK running Gingerbread. As soon as you go and look at the Call Forwarding options the phone indicates that all calls are Forwarded and the Icon top left turns on, disabling 'Foward All' shows disabled for a few seconds then comes back with the 'Unexpected reponse from network' message, although calls are not actually Forwarded (can still receive calls). Old SIM card, but OK in old V3x phone. I tried with a '3' Network SIM and all works as expected, so definitely an Orange problem with Android/Atrix. I called Orange who sent some SIM updates one of which failed, called them again and they decided to send me a new SIM but this has made no difference at all.
Only way to reset the indicator and message once on, is to enter ##21# which does the job.
Just an annoying Network bug but interested if anyone knows how to get Orange (and I guess T-Mobile) to do anything about this as it seems from other research to affect several different phone makes and models.
Same issue
I'm Having the same issue on Rogers with my Xperia ion....still ahven't sorted it out
Any Resolution to this issue? I have what appears to be an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S7 Active from ATT and attempting to use my CRICKET SIM and I get this message.
i will try to explain this the best i can.
We have in the last week receieved two new handsets, a DesireHD and Desire Z, we have also signed up to Vodafones one net express.
one of the functions of One Net is to be able to show a virtual landline number when dialing out (youare given several viirtual numbers on the account) to show the number you have to use a code with # -- # (-- being the short code for the number) when i enter this i get an error message saying "invalid MMI code". Having spoken tothe one net team they inform me that Android phoens will not accept # codes or shortcodes, Has anybody found any type of work around to enable the use of # codes on Android or should they work.
Any help or advice will be appreciated.

Hmm on aosp here and just tried #31# and it says mmi code activated, and throws a popup telling me the service is disabled, so it seems to work fine here.
Thanks for the reply, what android version are you running- is it stock or Custom Rom, i am wondering if this could make a difference.

Hi guys my Verizon G4 is been used in Mexico (with a Mexican SIM), however I can't dial some carrier specific numbers. Example *86 (voice mail) it says invalid number, *611 (Customer Service) it says Welcome to Verizon Wireless mobile roaming hotline, *773 it popups an error saying "Connection problem or invalid MMI code"
So I'm thinking that maybe the apk's that are involved for the phone to work are "carrier specific", So was wondering if I replace those apks from an international version or at least not carrier specific device, could this problem be solved?
Thanks
This is probably a verizon (location) error. Replacing the app in your phone will not change this.
They probably block *86 when you are roaming internationally because they charge you per minute used, and checking your voicemail is billable.
You are also ROAMING on someone elses network, that does not recognize *86. Honestly I would just pick up a local prepaid SIM card.
Words of wisdom, be VERY VERY careful. It is very expensive to do what you are doing. International voice roaming is like $2.75 a minute and text messages are like $1.25 PER message (incoming or outgoing). You can pick up a local prepaid sim and callforward your verizon number to your local number.

Thanks but I guess you missed the part been used in Mexico (with a Mexican SIM)
But anyways I found how to bypass those errors , when I have to dial *86 I just add a + and voila.. So the dialed number should be *+86
