Your text message cannot be sent.

I tried to sent a text message and, after a slight delay, got the following:

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

Who sent me this text message?

It arrived with "Natwest" as the sender, but who is "Natwest"? Yes, I know it's a bank, but why can't I see the number it was sent from? It's not in my contact list. Unlike my older phones I don't seem to be able to get a `properties` view showing sender, date etc. Is this something I need another app for?

Hold your finger on the text, a box pops up with the option to view the message details.

thanks, but that still just showed 'natwest'. Surely it's come from a number?

I dont think this is a device related ... because there are many companies make deals with Mobile Operators to send ad messages to the masses and only show the senderID, they dont even need a number to do that.
i say this because i have done such solution for my company, the messages go to the masses and only senderID (company's name) appears, ... no number needed to do that (from a mobile operator point of view)

You have an account with them and they are making used of this volcano story for a bit of PR!
A friend who has an account with them got the same message.

I had a txt from 'Natwest' today but when I opened it it says it was from one of my FB contacts!! Had it twice now I just delete them...

You've never had a text from just a name before?!

Nope, all mine have just been a number unless in my address book...

nothing to worry about, that's simply how Natwest send out their balance texts when you;ve signed up to their text alerts service through Monilink.
It will show as Natwest on any phone. as has already been said, lots of companies and premium sms services come from just a name now, rather than a number.

I had a similar problem...
When I want to check balance (free minutes, SMS, etc...), i need to send SMS to number 1260, and after that i receive SMS message with usage details.
Problem is, that I receive 2 messages with same content.
One is from number 1260 which is my operator, and other is from my friend on Facebook (strange, he even didn't enter Mobile number on FB Profile).
Because of receiving same message over and over again, I had to delete my FB friend

I don't use the balance alerts - the txt is a public service announcement which I don't want

I got this message too. I have a Natwest account that is never used and has about a fiver in it, and I didn't even know they had my phone number!

Seems as though loads of Natwest customers got that text yesterday..
I have a mate who works for Monilink and he said that they were hammered with queries regarding it!

Does Anyone Know How To View Their Text Messages Log Through Sprint?

I received a text messages the other day from a friend who changed their number but of course I forgot to store it before flashing a new ROM, which wiped everything out. Sprint claims the only way to retrieve the text message log is with a subpoena but I remember when I was on Verizon, it was provided through my bill and online account. Does anyone know of a work around to get this info? TIA!

Nope, with Sprint it's subpeona only.
I'd recommend SMS Backup+ for your future protection. Very handy app that keeps all your texts backed up to Gmail.

if all you're looking for is the number that texted you, you can go to your account and look at the text message log and find your friends number, only thing is that you can't view the message within the text if that's what you're planning to do

How about the Nandroid Backup you made before flashing the new ROM

Where on the website do you go to view your texting log? I've never noticed that feature... The bill detail only displays voice numbers?

they will give you an excel format list of texts, just the number time and date, not the content of the text

i have done it, quick turn around

sending picture messaging w/o messaging?

So I disabled Texting on my GS3 and opted for google voice which can push texts to my phone. I'm not sure if I can receive or send MMS/picture messages on my phone through data only. anyone know any solutions?

Not trying to sound like a smart ass, but why not just email the picture? quality stays the same and no compression
aside from that maybe via apps like GroupMe, WhatsApp Messenger? (although they also have to have the app as well)

I wouldn't mind downloading an App to send picture messages but I want it to be similar to google voice in how they allow my contacts to virtually do nothing different. is there a way to directly send pictures to numbers that isn't reliant on a 3rd party app by both sender/receiver? If I have to resort to email that's fine but I'd just like to do everything through phone contacts if it is possible.

Yes you can email to phones. For T-Mobile the addy is usually like this
Code:
[email protected]
The easiest way to get other carriers email would be to have them email to your phone, then you will have their addy aswell.
Code:
[email protected]

Hangouts SMS problem

I noticed that when receiving some international SMS sometimes the numbers don't show "+"
And hangouts gets screwed up.
For example I'm texting someone in UK using +44XXXXXX number
They respond but now the number looks like 44XXXXXX without +
So hangouts doesn't associate the incoming message with the same contact and decides to open a new thread. But I cannot even respond to message in the same thread because I need the + sign. So now I'm receiving messages in one thread and sending them in another.
I don't remember ever having this problem with stock messages app. How can I fix this?
