I see a lot of threads on this issue. I'm hoping since most of them are dated around 2012, maybe there is a fix for this recently.
I have ElectronTeam's dn4v2 rom on my t889. There are a few issues I'm having in the past couple weeks (since flashing) but the latest is a problem with texting.
It starts with the fact that I'm not receiving group messages in Samsung's SMS app. So, I don't really like Hangouts as an SMS/MMS app, but one good thing about it is that it receives group messages and displays them as such. However, when I try to send a message to a new contact/start a new thread, it gives me the option to send from my Google voice # or Carrier Number "Unknown". I'm assuming that means the recipient will not know the text is from me?
In one of the threads, I read that if my phone number is correctly listed in "About Device", I would be able to send and receive Group messages in Samsung's SMS app( a feature introduced after JB)
In About Device>MY Phone Number> Unknown.
In my contacts, the first contact listed is ME, and my phone number is correct.
I've gone into Contacts>Settings>Contacts>Contacts to display> Sim card and my number is there.
I put the sim card in my old phone running Cyanaogen, and went into call settings etc., and the phone # is listed.
So I believe that my sim card has my number. But for some reason it's not getting recognized. Perhaps this is a rom issue?

Hey guys, having a small issue with my phone at the moment. I've got a load of contacts in my phonebook. All loaded from their Facebook information.
Every time I try to dial any of these numbers, I get the "sorry this number has not been recognised error". Now before you go jumping to conclusions and say stuff like "they've entered the wrong number on FB" "it's an old number and they haven't updated their FB" or anything like that. Let me say, that manually dialling the exact same number, doesn't result in the error message. I can dial them fine from my landline and other handsets.
I have a suspicion I know what's causing the issue but I'm at a loss as to how to resolve it. The numbers from Facebook all seem to get modified with an 'international mobile dialling code' (or something, in my case +44 for UK).
So instead of showing as 07*********** it's showing as 44**********.
So my guess is the way FB is formatting these numbers is somehow confusing my phone, but I don't seem to be able to edit these numbers to the 07 version.
Any idea how I can get this sorted? Preferably without asking my 50+ contacts to check their formatting on FB
Thanks!
Multiple threads on this, it's a Facebook thing - unsync them and they'll be fine
Hello everyone,
I'm on the current AOKP Milestone (4.2.2) on a maguro (GSM version)
I have to switch between two sim cards from two different countries and I cannot send SMS from one of them (just reports an error without any further info "SMS could not be sent."). Which is really bad for me since I have to activate my data and minute plans by sms.
Tried this:

Still can't send sms.
Tried changing the SIM Card's messaging center on an old phone, still cannot send sms.
Is there any other way of changing the messaging center? Or is there at least a way to verify which one my phone is currently using?
Thanks a lot guys
What written there really is the solution. Putting the right number on SMSC field and clicking Update solved it for me.
Are you sure you put the correct number in and did a restart to make sure? Try googleing "<your carrier> SMSC" to find the number.
If nothing helps including trying on another phone, why not call the carrier for support?
Sorry for the late reply. I put the SIM card in an older phone and it gave me an error message saying it was a network error. Since it's a new SIM card that's possible so I'll have to contact the provider.
Yesterday a friend of mine ran out of battery on his iphone and put his sim card into my nexus and again it wasn't able to send sms. So he used another friend's iPhone and everything was fine. What's wrong there? SMS seems to be a difficult task for our nexus... or on android in general
I've been flashing random ROMS lately for note 2, and i've been running beanstalk 4.4 without any issues for about one week. All of a sudden, i have no service. On lock screen it says, 'emergency calls only". I reverted back to the original 4.3 Bell rom, which also unrooted my phone, and still no luck. My IMEI is correct, and so is my serial number (however before reverting back to stock my IMEI was 'null' and serial number didn't match. As of now, my phone number, IMEI, serial number are all accurate, but I just can't get any service. I've went to my carrier, and they tried everything, including trying different sims etc....but can't get any service? My sim card is fine too. I didnt backup EFS, nor do i know if there is any problem with the EFS components.
However, i just remembered something. The day my phone stopped getting service, i vaguely remember clicking on the terminal emulator app just to see what it was all about. I must have clicked somewhere on there, because suddenly i had a notification that said i had 140 new text messages (all my messages came up as new messages in the notification bar). I would try to clear the notifications, but the text message icon in the notification bar would persistently keep popping up immediately, saying i had 140 new text messages. I didn't know what to do, so i went to application manager and disabled the terminal emulator app, and this stopped the new text message notifications.
Now, i don't know if this caused the issue of not getting any service, but its the only thing outside the norm that i did to my phone. If anyone has any ideas on possible solutions, I would really appreciate your help. Thanks.
Hi all,
I have an HTC Dual-Sim (China version) running Lollipop 5.02 4.25.1401.6, rooted and TWRP; and have been using it quite flawlessly since I brought it.
Since the 28th, I have not been able to receive any text messages on both sims, though sender's phone for the text message will show as delivered and read. I can send text messages no problem though.
So I did a few tests, a full reset or changing to a different rom will resolve the issue, but after I restore data the issue will come back.
I looked at the permission manager and everytime a message is sent (from my one sim to the next), three apps will show up: messages, phone and google play services
and the phone app shows it has the permission to read, write and delete messages, cant set it as denied either.
3rd party sms apps like handcent doesnt receive anything either, the same with Hangouts.
Checked for blocked contacts but the lists are empty...it feels as if the phone gets the message but a specific app is receiving and deleting all the received messages.
Now the question is, any way of getting my phone working without having to build up my data from scratch?
It the same whether its a 4.4.4 rom, stock, 5.02. Once data is restored, I cant receive sqwat.
Not being lazy or anything but I rather not install everything from scratch, I forgot some of my credentials for some apps and some are registered on old phone numbers which I dont have anymore.
Any feedback is much appreciated.
Ok so for whoever that may run into this problem also, the issue was greenify 2.6 beta 3...
It somehow disabled the text broadcast and I dont even receive the text in the message app.
Uninstalling it doesnt remedy the issue, had to install 2.6 final, install xposed for lollipop and enable all the options I did before the issue occurred and now I can receive text messages again.
About a month ago, a problem popped up where I have not been able to send MMS messages. Whether it is a picture or multiple recipient text (sent as MMS). I have tried every trouble shooting that there is:
New SIM
Reset Networks
NEW DEVICE
eSIM
The ironic thing is that when T-Mobile issued me a temporary NEW PHONE NUMBER, the problem was resolved. I am not willing to lose my phone number which I have had for 22 years.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried more than one Messages app to see whether you have success. If you haven't installed Google's Messages app, give that one a try.

I have tried several apps. What I am interested in is if there are settings that the phone company assigns to a "phone number" as opposed to a device. I took my sons SIM card and placed into my device and it worked fine.
