You are right.
I once encountered such can't sent message problem. It was because of poor signal. I cannot make phone calls at that time either.

My carrier made it impossible for me to send text messages. It was a mistake on their behalf and the problem got fixed.

I have the same problem, I have some clues but not the answer. I only can’t send a sms/text if I create / enter the mobile no from my Windows Live account!
In the below tests I am using the same mobile no
Test 1
I create a new contact on my Windows Live account (web browser) and enter a mobile no, I sync my phone with Hotmail and the new contact appears on the phone. When I send an sms I get the message "can't send message try again"
Delete that contact from all locations
Test 2
I create a new contact on my PC using Outlook, and enter a mobile no, (I have the Hotmail plugin) , I send/receive from outlook. I sync my phone with Hotmail and the new contact appears on the phone. When I send an sms it goes through fine.
Delete that contact from all locations
Test 3
I create a new contact on my phone and enter a mobile no. When I send an sms it goes through fine.
Delete that contact from all locations
Test 4
As no Test 1 Windows Live account, sync with phone When I send an sms I get the message "can't send message try again". Now edit phone and delete mobile no, re-enter mobile no on phone. When I send an sms I get the message "can't send message try again"
So conclusion
Its not the phone number format, but must be something in the contact information that Windows Live creates. Any ideas please.

Change the system locale
change the system local in Settings>Region and Language>System Locale
To a lamguage that support an accented character

In which software do we change settings - phone, Internet Explorer Outlook ?
Please explain
Re Dave

In the system settings, the main settings.
I think that sometimes having accentuated letters causes thaf issue. That was my case.p

argh! Can't send text messages

I'm on Orange (UK) and 2 days ago I lost the ability to text one number. I tried deleting the queue of unsent messages and reset the settings within the messaging app. This didn't help and I now can't send any SMS at all, they instantly fail. Annoyingly, they work fine with my T-Mobile Sim. I've tried updating the message centre number with the one given by Orange but it's not worked. I've now done a full wipe and reflashed my ROM and I still can't send messages. Everything else works fine.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Is it something on the carrier side.... Seems to me if it works fine with another sim then it's either a problem with the carrier or maybe you have the wrong apn settings.... But i am not sure that effects text messages
Also this might be a dumb suggestion but maybe try downloading a third party messaging client like chomp

Thanks for the reply, I agree that it's likely to be a network issue, I was just hoping to avoid a long call to customer service!
EDIT: I got them to send me the settings via SMS and everything's back to normal again. Phew!

[Q] SMS/Text not working on the Infuse

I think I know what the problem is, but I want to make double sure before I go to the AT&T store.
I recently changed over to the Infused 1.5 ROM and during the process had to take out the SIM Card due to a small issue I had. Did this about 3 days ago and phone, data, and email have been working fine.
Last night, I thought it was odd that I was not receiving text messages and asked one of my friends to try to text. Did not get anything, so I tried texting him. Still nothing. So I decided to try it in my Blackberry to see if I can text, and I still could not receive or send texts despite being able to before on this phone.
From what I have read, some people have had issues if the new batch of SIM cards gets scratched, so I am planning on going to the AT&T store to exchange the SIM card and have them test text messaging. Anyone else had any similar issues?

message center number
See if Your message center number was wiped when you installed new ROM. go to Messaging/Settings/Message Center....
If there is no number, Insert this +1 312 314 9810,
This is the message center number for ALL AT&T SIM cards.
Hope this helped.

Similar Problem- Unable to send SMS from Beanstalk Rom 4.4+
Hi,
I am getting a similar problem and I am unable to send sms from my infuse, though I am able to receive SMS. I am using a Beanstalk ROM 4.4.240-20140203.
Model No: SGH-I997
Baseband Version: I997UCLB3
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I997UCLB3-CL977492-g1bc7cfe
I think the problem is that the Message Center number is not properly set in the settings, but the problem is that I am unable to find the settings to change the message center.
I have searched for the option to change the Message Center by clicking on settings of messaging app but though there are many options to change the viewing settings of SMSes but there is no option to change the SMS Center number.
I would be greatly thankful for directing me in the correct direction

[Q] cannot send sms after flash

I recently flashed my phone with the latest insert coin Rom. I cannot send any sms messages when I'm connected to the network. If I'm on WiFi messages will go through. I already made sure the service center number was correct. Any solutiions or suggestions is appriciated.

Any ideas very frustrating..

US factory Unlocked Galaxy s7 edge SMS "not sent" error. Help!

I bought a brand new s7 edge, USA unlocked version (no carrier specific) and activated it on PP. I had to buy a Pp nano SIM as my previous phone, a verizon S5 , used a micro sim.
Activation went smoothly. My phone rebooted and "programmed" the SIM and I was immediately able to make calls, use data, and send and receive messages.
Then a few hours later, when sending SMS texts, my phone would get stuck sending texts, then after a few minutes report that the message could not be sent. I could retry over and over and it keeps failing.
Now for the strange parts..
1. The recipient is actually getting my texts despite my phone reporting it wasn't sent.
2. Sms works normal if I am on a call when I hit SEND.
3. Mms works normal in all situations.
So I have tried many things.. restoring to defaults, clearing system cache, resetting phone to factory defaults in bootloader.. Turning 4g data off, turning wifi off, and pretty much anything else you might find a on google search. .nothing solves it. I spent hours on PP support calls who had me do everything again, they reset / reprovisioned my sim which made it activate again.. still nothing.
It's driving me crazy getting 100 failed message errors a day.
I am thinking next I may try getting a new Sim.
Another option might be setting up a SIP caller app to use for messaging, like Csipsimple, but I'm not sure what settings to enter for pageplus, or if they even support SIP text & calls.
Please help! Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello,
try clearing the data of the sms app
or else try another app from play store to see if the problem is from the buildin app

Thank you for the reply. I forgot to mention that yes I have tried that as well. I have cleared the SMS data several times and tried a couple different SMS apps like Google messages, Facebook Messenger, and a few others. They all have the issue.

Thanks! I think you are right about the root of the problem. However the solution may not be so simple for me. The command *#*#INFO#*#* does nothing on my phone. I'm trying to find another way to edit that setting but having trouble. I'll keep searching but it sounds like a new SIM car might also solve it?

First take out your sim and check if its OK my friend asked me about an exact same issue with a note 3, I told them to take out the sim and try another one, we came to know that the sim was damaged by a way or another

Thanks, I'm happy to order another SIM, however one thing that confuses me is how would the SMS go through fine when I'm on a phone call? If the message center number or sim were corrupted shouldn't it fail on a call as well?

Hello again, a corrupted SIM will surely cause both messaging and calling issues, i may recommend to test another SIM to check if the problem still exist, it yes, then it's from the SIM
and no, the message center isn't related to calls

But I would like you to check another sim if available, since it's more like a phone problem and not a sim hmmmmm

Unfortunately I do not have another sim, so I ordered a other one to try and activate with.

Got my new SIM card and activated it today, still having the same problem.. ?

Hope, any more ideas? I'm fresh out!
Is there some way to use a SIP or similar app to send SMS through using my normal number?
Or how about rooting my phone to try to hack the message center number or maybe the SIM card ?

Did it happen after an update ?
my question is are you trying to send to your friend or to a premium number such as a service provided by your carrier ?

No it did not happen after any update, and no premium messaging of any kind.
Again the message does get to the recipient, its just my phone giving me the false error that it wasn't sent.

Try turning both WiFi and mobile data and trying to send
------
1.Install Handcent SMS
2. go to send message settings > delivery report
3. Here you can delete undelivered conversations and end your "messages not sent"
This app seems to work also.
----
Also check your network signal
---
Do another factory reset and try handcent again

Have done all of the above, still not working .. haaaalpp

With Handcent I can set it to not vibrate or set off my message notification sound on failed messages, which helps.. but I still get the popups saying it failed.
Again I have to stress that messaging works fine when I'm on a call, where mobile data is not available.. but if I disable mobile data while not on call, it still fails to send. Surely this must suggest a possible solution, although I am not adept enough in Android to say what that is..

Hello,
Message app > settings > more settings
can you capture what do you got there ?
