I've been having problems with long texts not being received. I send a short one and it goes through, I send a longer one (say 140 characters) and it doesn't. Phone pops up the message sent bubble, but it is never received.
To test out my theory, I started a new sms and sent it to myself. phone says it sent, then I get a reply via text saying like not able to send, please resend with area code... so i use area code and it sends and i get it just fine. I press reply and send a short message, it comes through.. I reply again and send a longer message, and I get the error saying I need an area code.
So what seems like is going on, for whatever reason with I REPLY to a message with a lengthy text, it tries to send it without area code... I dont get that error text back though when sending to my girlfriend.
I'm on alltel, typically trying to text my girl on verizon.
HELP!?

This is a problem I am dealing for they day I purchse the Phone.
This apply for some of my contatcs
When i receive a SMS and hit reply, i write my message and the hit send. I am getting straight away the error: message was not sent. try again?
Then I go and start a New Message not replying to that to the same contact and the message sents fine.
Do you know what i can do?
this happens to me every now and then. Sometimes when the phones doing a lot of stuff or the network messes up.
Also i've noticed that the majority of the time when that error appears, the message is actually sent, because i'll press the try again and it'll resend the message, then i'll get a message back from the recipient saying they've recieved the message more than once.
My situation is quite different. When i press resend I get the same message and the receiptent does not get anything.
Also this problem is for some of my contacts and only for some of them.
Sometimes my messages are not sent, which isnt a problem considering the rural area I live in. What has been pissing me off is trying to resend them if it says message cannot be sent. If they are not sent, they are moved to drafts, and there is no way to resend them without retyping it up.
Any suggestions?
I don't know why my phone is so wacked out...but now I can not send Pics in Text Messages. It trys to send but just gets stuck on "sending". Any suggestions?
Maybe try toggling your data connection off/on. Or, sent out a regular SMS. Sometimes that will help push em thru. I've had issues sometimes where they'll hang like that until I receive a text, then they push thru, but only on certain ROMs.
Hope this helps at all.

I had the same problem before, then I learned that my data had to be on in order to send or receive messages through text messages. I'm not sure if this is because of my carrier or if that's just how it is.
Won't work over Wifi, which seems kind of silly.
You need to have the data on to send MMS (picture messages) the carriers do not generally count that against the data you use.
I'm using the crespoa i9020a package for my phone from the Google site, and for some reason I cannot send any texts to short codes, however I can receive them. Breakdown of what happens when I try to text a shortcode:
I text "51401" to 33333 (local transit authority bus information number, 51401 is a stop number)
SMS Application says "sending" briefly, then says "Could not send message", asks me to review and attempt to send again. Trying again does not work.
I'm at a loss as to what to do. I've even tried alternate SMS programs to make sure it's not just the stock one having issues. Any suggestions? Carrier is Rogers.
I had not had this problem until a few weeks ago, and i haven't changed ROMs, radios, or plan services in the time. I receive SMS as usual, EXCEPT from numbers such as 79710(Espn Alerts) or 32623(Pens Alerts). When i attempt to send a message to either number, i receive a message saying
Free Msg: Unable to send message - Message Blocking is active
I have called T-Mobile and nothing is being blocked they're saying. When going into *#*#4636#*#* and looking at SMSC number, it is blank, and if i enter a number or hit refresh and update it, it does not stay the same. When i re enter is is blank again. Has anybody experienced any of this? Any help would he appreciated
