Able to receive text messages. But unable to send even a simple thank you message. I tried "factory reset" two more times, but no breakthrough. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
It sounds like you have a APN issue. My suggestion would be to find the APN settings from another Android device (preferably something similar to the A2) and copy them over.
If that doesn't work, try resetting one more time and starting the phone without the SIM card in and then installing the SIM card.
APN couldn't be am issue, as this is posted from my A2. Also I'm able to call and receive text msg. Moreover I got the APN settings pushed from my service provider's Web site after the first reset. That reset w/o SIM is interesting, as the SIM was kept in the phone for all resets. I'll try that.
Sometimes these sim cards can cause some very strange issues. My sim from my old OG ATRIX wouldn't work in my new A2. And neither would my gf's . But a quick trip to my nearest AT&T store and a new sim card fixed everything. If yours is bad your nearest provider should have you a new one free of charge
Figured out the same. Removed my SIM, popped in a Reliance SIM, and all three unsent msgs were auto sent (those guys will be cursing me now). Put my sim in another Moto, tried sending an sms, it didn't go. So, visiting bsnl customer care office tomorrow to change SIM. Will post then. Thank s to both of you for taking some time off to post.
Couldn't get a replacement SIM, as BSNL staff are on strike. Will try to get a new one tomorrow.
Its solved !
Didn't get a replacement SIM. BSNL customer care gave me a number as the number to be set for message center. Couldn't locate that feature in A2. Put my Sim in good old L7 and fed the message center number in outbox settings. Now message was delivered (from L7) ! Put it back in A2, composed & sent a msg, bingo, msg delivered !!
I never thought a phone could program the SIM. BTW how to do it in A2 ?
Anyone on this forum know/have the sim tool kit for windows phone 7?
it only can copy existing sim contact to phone but in future cannot add contact to sim anymore..
thanks everyone
I belive as part of Tango you will be able to save contacts to your sim. Also my Lumia has "SIM applications" in 'settings' but there is nothing there, so I don;t know what to make of that.
Hi,
I have a problem that someone here might be able to help me with. I have recently moved between countries (say from country A to country B). I keep WhatsApp under my phone line in country A, because the vast majority of my contacts use that number to contact me. I still pay a small monthly fee to keep the line. Initially I had no problems with WhatsApp, I simply inserted the new SIM card from country B into the phone I brought from Country A.
However, now I have bought a new phone (Moto X 2013 (=no SD slot) and I am trying to link WhatsApp to my usual number, in country A. Even though I still own that line, I can't receive any SMS/calls from it in country B. Unfortunately, WhatsApp doesn't let me use alternate methods of verification. I am stuck with using my old phone (Galaxy s3 mini) for WhatsApp.
Is there a way to move WhatsApp from my old to my new phone, in a way that no verification is required?
I have the same problem with Telegram, but (unfortunately) my contacts use WhatsApp the most.
Both phones are rooted. The new one has the bootloader unlocked. I am willing to tweak these features if necessary ( I will need proper guidance though, I have never played wit them before).
Thanks
Sorry this is my 3rd attempt to get a message out there for help so excuse if my other 2 have gone somewhere else and I am repeating myself. I have a Doogee dg310 Voyager and recently some of my contacts have been duplicated in my contacts list (not of my doing) but more worrying is that contacts are disappearing overnight (again not by me) from my phone. I have no message to say the SIM is full which I have had with my Samsung in the past. Both my wife and some friends have the same phone and are not experiencing the same problem but then I am using a dual SIM, one here in Spain and the other is from a UK company (Orange/EE). Digimobil is the SIM I use the most and it's this one that where the contacts are being removed from. Digi say it's not the SIM but the phone that is at fault. Can anyone help please?

Hello I am new here and not sure if I am posting it in the correct section of the forum. Anyway, I just purchased an unlocked ZTE Primetime K92 tablet that was on the AT&T network.
The SMS messaging app which has an icon which says messages, when I launch it is AT&T messages and requires login or registration with the AT&T account info. I am now using this tablet on the T-Mobile network and trying to find an SMS messaging app that will use the phone number assigned to my sim card and hence to the tablet.
I have replaced my old device which was getting SMS messages because it would only attempt connection at 2G speed which is now no longer available from most carriers. I have also downloaded SMS apps that I found and were either incompatible or did not work. the tablet is running Android 7.1 and I was trying to update it but could not find how to do so.
Can someone help either to get the version of Android upgraded or a SMS app that will work, as I stated want to use the native number for my sim card and not register to get a new number.
Thanks in advance
