Hi all,
First time posting here and have a problem with my I-mate so thought I would dip into the knowledge pool before I brick my phone or throw it through a closed window.
My i-mate ultimate 8502 will not send SMS text messages. Will receive fine and MMS and voice calls no problem. Im on Virgin (UK) it keeps saying" text message failed"
Its my first use with Windows 6.1 I was on Symbian before which I got the hang of but this all new to me, any help is much appreciated.
Welcome to forums
Have a look here:

Good luck,
Check the SMS service number is correct. Outbound SMS messages are routed through a particular number unique to your telco.
This is WinMo 5.0 but it's not a million miles away.
From the Phone Dialing screen.
Menu->Options
Click the Services Tab, then then "Voice Mail and Text Messages" in the dropdown box, and then click Get Settings...... Takes a few seconds to retrieve the info.
The Text Messages Service number for Virgin Mobile (UK) should be set to: +447958879890.
Good Luck.......

Hi,
I got spv c600 n upgraded it to wm6
when someone tries to send me an MMS message, the phone connects to GPRS, but i doont get no notifications of receiving any message.
When I click on the message icon, i only get outlook e-mail and txt messaging. no MMS
can anyone one help me pls
I have been using WM6(the andot version) on my Cingular 2125 for about 3 months now and love it. One issue that I cant seem to resolve is the MMS. I know that if you go into the TEXT MESSAGING and then click Menu, New, and then you can select either SMS or MMS. But I cant receive any MMS, unless I go to create a new one, then it shows that I have a received one, but by this time it is already expired. I cant seem to find any settings that affect the MMS Gateway or such, so any help would be great.
Update***
Now I seem to receive the message about a week later.
What WM6 ROM are you using?
Try Nitro's or EA's version. There is also a setting as to whether you prefer messaging to use GSM or GPRS somewhere.

Got similar problem here with wm6 Eng_Standard v.3.1 running on c600 - I can send MMS but not receive - instead of that I receive SMS notification that this MMS was placed somewhere on GSM carriers servers. By pressing Menu>Send/Receive the top bar shows 'Error Synchronizing' message... Is it possible to change some settings to fix that? Any suggestions, please (my HTC TyTN on the same carrier copes with this issue without any prob - Sends/Receives MMS's both ways).
I suggest having a read of this thread...

.. it may answer a few questions. I have MMS working perfectly on o2 UK on the "perfect English" ROM with the settings I posted in the above thread, no delay in receiving messages.
I work in the basement of a building, and thus, my reception is spotty at best. I tend to use my phone most for text messaging (and not even SMS, though I'm not sure I'm clear on the difference).
If I'm sitting on my desk, I will eventually (through the proper alignment of air particles or whatever) get signal and receive text messages, though sometimes they're delayed. However, when I reply, I usually get "text message cannot be sent" and the message stored in drafts (and often I don't even see this message, and only notice hours later that the message wasn't sent).
Every other (non smart-)phone I've had has automatically retried to send text/SMS until it succeeded, but for some reason Windows Mobile doesn't do this, and relies on me realizing that a message is still in drafts, and makes me resend manually.
I found this thread from 2006 that addresses the same problem, but there was no solution at the time. I was hoping that Mobile 6 or 6.1 would solve the issue, but it appears they still just abandon failed messages.
Are there any third party apps that will retry until successful? I'd like it to be for standard text messages, though I could switch to SMS with my wife to solve the main issue.
I've found a post in the kaiser software forum that says that "Palm Threaded Messaging" does this, but isn't that a Palm app? They also mentioned that it gets rid of the 'text messages' link in messaging, which is unacceptable.
Anybody know of an app or registry fix that would solve this? I've tried searches on google and this forum, and have come up with nothing. Does anybody have the skill to write such an app? I might be willing to pay for a couple hours worth of development.
Thanks.
I am looking for the same solution.
I have a samsung i760 and have a similar work issue where I have little or no reception depending on the alignment of the stars.
Please help us out
This can easily be done with mortscript. Simply move all messages in the drafts folder to the Outbox and they should send. You can also check signal strength before you do it. I am sure somebody is willing to whip something up.
wish they would!!
I am used to Nokia's features and with the bad reception i get in my office at home I am used to just hitting send then once i get a ray of light willing to carry a signal the msg gets sent, but on this diamond i gotta get up off my jacksie and go find a signal before hitting send. This is a major inconvienience as you can imagine.

Mobile Secretary is fine for sending Automated responses to missed calls. But is there a way to include the "resending" feature in WM 6 ?
Hello!
My problem is I cannot send any SMS message (it actually is moved to the sent folder, but the other phone does not receive it), as well as I cannot receive any SMS message (the phone lights-up when I sent a SMS to it but nothing more happens), EDIT: though on the sender's phone I get a delivered report.
Before you ask - no, the text messaging service number in phone options is not correct. The field is empty and whatever I do write there does not get saved. I can modify the voice mail number, area code and all and save it, but the text messaging service field keeps being empty (it is set correctly when trying on my other phone).
Calls do work.
As I believe the only problem is the number not present, is there any other way I could store the text messaging service number in the phone? Like registry setting or similar... Or any other solution welcomed.
Thanks!
By the way, I'm running the WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.20282.19597 for Tornado with Neo Style English Version V1 by Karas, my operator is O2.
The radio version is 4.1.13.28_02.61.01, RIL version 2.002.
i had the same problem with the rose rom... it only helped to hard reset the device...
has somebody a fix for that? or what is the problem?
hard reset does not work for me, but it seems it is a problem in the rom, which cannot be workarounded...
Try another rom!!
Hi,
Today I found an SMS message stuck in the outbox on my "HTC touch pro", (O2 network).
The message was resending itself regularly, (upsetting the recipient obviously).
I was unable to just delete the message from the outbox and found that it only dissappeared after deleting it from the deleted items folder.
Is this a common problem - has anyone found a way of stopping this happening.
I've only been using this phone for about 1 month but this has not happened previously.
Thanks in advance,
Dave.
Can anyone help with this one??????
PLEEEEEASE!!!!
Never seen this before. Are you using the stock ROM?
Yep- everything as purchased.
No tweaks or upgrades.

Strange problem.
What (precise) ROM & WWE version does your touch pro run?
Does it show multiple copies of the same textmessage in "sent items"?
did the message contain other than simple text?
Like #34 or #*34 and alike sort of formating (34 used as example for any range of numbers)
What I could think of is that the cell provider or phone has some kind of error in which the text sending wasn't completed eg. the cell tower didn't send/ the phone didn't receive the propper "message sent" signal, and the phone simply resend the message.
Did it happen with only one receipient?
Hi,
ROM version is 1.90.206.4 WWE
Text msg was straight forward text - no numbers/characters.
Error only occured to one recipient.
Only one copy of the msg was held in the outbox.
Cheers

I would say it was a fluke, never heard of this before, and I really think it has to do with cell<->phone communication.
Keep us posted if it happens again.

Hi,
I've got exectly the same problem, however the thing I discovered is that my text messages stay in the outbox when I have the regulare GSM netwerkcoverage, as soon as I've got 3G or HSPDA receive they are being transferred, my textmessage settings however say they have to be transfered by GSM.
I've got a SE X1 on stock WINMO 6.1 build 19608.1.2.60
Nobody formiliare with this problem? (excue me for my bad English)
Me too. Can't edit the message, can't delete it, can't move it. Keeps sending to the same recipient everytime I open messaging. I've pulled the battery, no change
WM 6.1 pro
CE OS 5.2.19214 Build 19214.1.0.4
ATT tilt (HTC 8925)
Bad form to reply to my own message, but found a tolerable fix
I did a MENU TOOLS Clear Messages
And the second time it got rid of it.
First time hung for several minutes, second time that was the only message left to delete.
This happened to me too today, I was chatting with a friend and she was like why the hell do you keep sending the same message over and over again.
I restarted the phone and no change then I looked in the outbox it is there cant delete cant edit cant move.
However the message is in the deleted items too.
if its not just click delete in the outbox then go to the deleted items and click delete from there it will be gone.
The message somehow links it to both folders like a shadow copy.
Simply that process fixed it.
--------
PS : I was using Wm 6.5 and threaded texting.
Same Issue
Yeah mine are just sitting in Outbox too. I can reply to a message without an issue but when I compose a new message it just goes to the outbox and there isn't a way to send it. Just simple text so no clue why. Any advice?
Hi,
I have the O2 Serra/HTC Touch Pro, I looked on the Wiki and ran a search and could not find an answer to this. When I receive a txt message, if I bring up the menu then select Forward it does not send all the message, it sends just part of it. The phone is as it was supplied, I dont know whether you can update the "Firmware" so to speak, as I am new to Windows Mobile.
I wondered if there was a cure for this SMS/Text problem,
Any advice welcome,
