Hi! I'm using the stock sms app. I have had zero trouble before with messages, but a couple of days ago my messages wouldn't just get sent. I can receive fine, but afted sending an error only pops up saying message not sent. I believe this is some sort of problem with my smsc number, because when I use Go SMS and type in my smsc number manually, I can send messages fine. Calls and internet are working.
When I call *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone information, the smsc box is empty and if I hit update, it just comes up with an error.
I think I accidently pressed update before this problem came up and the box said 00. Any help would be very much appreciated because I prefer the stock sms app to 3rd party ones.

I'm not sure if that is the problem, as my smsc field is empty and I'm not experiencing the same issue. What is your preferred network type?
WCDMA Only, but it seems I got it fixed. I didn't reaize that I had to encode the sms centers number. Working now

Hey everyone,
I currently have an AT&T Captivate on the Telus network. I had to manually put in the APN setting and stuff. I have a problem with the SMS portion of the phone. If I send an SMS using the messaging app or handscent sms it shows the sms as sending even though it has been sent. And when I restart the phone it sends all of the text messages again. It is very annoying as sometimes it will resend about 30 texts to the same person. What is wrong with the phone?
I have the same problem sometimes with handscent. Usually it's only 1 or 2 tho

Go under 'Settings', 'Send Message Settings', and check the box for 'Prevent Resend'. This stops that problem with Handcent SMS.
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA running Android 2.3
just tried, it would still send the message again after i restart the phone. any other ideas?
i have to delete the whole sms thread to make this not happen. Which is kind of annoying. So I am hoping someone has the same issue as me and has fixed it lol
Hello
Since "some time", I cannot send SMS text messages from my Nexus S with stock ICS 4.0.3 and also not with CyanogenMod 9 v4.0.3 Alfa 20p1. When I try to send a SMS to whatever number, it takes some time (round about 10 seconds) and then I see a red exclamation mark (!) and get a message in the status bar "Message not sent"
My provider (Sunrise in Switzerland) tells me, that they even haven't seen any signs of me trying to send a text message and told me, to make sure that the correct SMS service center (SMSC) number is entered.
As there's no way in ICS to "easily" enter the SMSC, I "dialed" *#*#4636#*#*, went to "Phone Information", scrolled down to SMSC and entered "+41765980000" (without the ", of course *G*). I then pushed "Update", BUT…
BUT then, the field where I entered the number: update error
When I insert this SIM card in a simple, "ancient", non-smartphone Nokia mobile phone, I see that this number is stored on the SIM card and I can send SMS just fine.
Well………
What to do to be able to send SMS text messages again?
Dunno if it's important, but I can receive text messages just fine.
Thanks,
Alexander
I had this same problem last week, and had to encode the SMSC number to get it to work.
I followed the recommendations at http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-926771.html and got it working.
what Baldar538 said!
I used that same thread posted above the first time. It was not a fun thing, it was easier to just get my girlfriends phone, and copy hers since she has a nexus s to.
Balder538,
thanks to your heads up, I revisted that page and, more importantly, the "Online PDU Encoder and Decoder" listed there and got it to work.
The encoder encoded my "+41765980000" to "07911467950800F0110000910000AA00". Entering 07911467950800F0 worked then just fine.
I can now send SMS again - yeah!
Thanks again,
Alexander
Thanks to Baldar538 for the link to the answer to my problem as well.
For those of you on Koodo, the SMSC phone number for Koodo is 16475800172. But it has to be encoded before it can be put into the SMSC field in the 4636 menu.
After it is encoded, only the first 16 characters are used from the encoded string.
Sooo... If you want to turn the SMS back on for your Koodo phone, put the following numbers in the SMSC field and press the "Update" button.
07916174850071F2
Worked for me.

I'm on the AT&T network and can't send texts anymore after flashing to ICS. I can make calls and use my data plan but am unable to send SMS for some reason. I've tried almost every APN setting recommended by others and still nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions or has had a similar problem that they resolved?

Correction. I can receive text messages but not send them.
*UPDATE 9/11*
So I found out the issue is related to the Message Center which you can access from "Messaging" -> hit the option button -> Settings.
After flashing to ICS I noticed that this option has been removed so I can't edit the message center. Are there any ICS or JB ROMs that still have this option available to the user? I need to change the message center number back to what it needs to be in order to send SMS texts.
27 views and no responses? Anyone?
After a BUNCH of research I finally found out how to fix this. Instead of posting a to the thread I found (since I'm still under 10 posts) I will post my copied instructions.
Go to google and search for your SMS center number which should be based on the carrier you have.
Next, go to twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode
Scroll down to where you see SMSC, Receiver, and Alphabet size.
Put in the entire SMSC number, including the + sign into the box, leave receiver blank, change the Alphabet size to 8, and delete whatever is in the message box under Alphabet and hit Convert.
Now, on your phone go to the Phone info menu described above and scroll to the bottom and find the SMSC field.
Enter the first 16 numbers into that field and hit update.
Reboot your phone and you can now send SMS.
This fix is for people who have the proper modems flashed on there phones and can still receive texts but not send them.
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
Does anyone know how to remove the call back number on every single sms message I receive? Even if the person has it turned off on their phone it still shows up on mine when they send me a message. I would just use another messaging app because that fixes the problem but then I can send mms messages. I'm on a local carrier and can't find the settings to put in to fix this either. Any help is appreciated thanks.
*can't send mms I meant to say.
