[HOW-TO] Reenter your lost SMSC number
Fix not sent SMS messagesHey, you just flashed an ICS ROM and found out that you can't send SMS messages anymore? You flashed back to Gingerbread and it did not help?
In this case probably your SMSC number has been deleted. I've had that problem too and found several webpages that said "Do this", "Do that" and finally you shall enter your SMSC number and tap on update. Well, indeed that's basicly it, but there's one problem: You will get an update error, because you can't simply enter "+4912345..." into the little box.
"But how can I update my SMSC number?"
Well, for this you have to do a little step before you can do that. The number has to be converted into the PDU format. To do that go to this page: http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode and look for "String sms message". There is a little editbox which says: "SMSC +019000001". Enter your own SMSC number here and klick on "Convert" below. The big textbox "Hexadecimal PDU Message" will update and will show something similar like this:
Code:
AT+CMGW=24
[U][B]0791349124722037[/B][/U]11000A9210299232900000AA0CC8F71D14969741F977FD07
The first 16 numbers which are underlined are your converted smsc number.
"All right and were shall I enter it?"
Open your phone app and enter "*#*#4636#*#*" after that a new window will open. Select "Phone Information" and scroll down. There will be a little box "SMSC ". Enter your converted SMSC number (in this example: 0791349124722037) and tap on the left button which says "Update".
"That's all?"
Yes you're done, but how about leaving a little comment?
I have created this thread because while searching with google I have found tons of websites that did not mention the PDU conversion and so I have thought it is good to have it here...
Reserved. Just in case...
thanks... worked great for me... nice guide.
Hello, I tried following your guide, but I have not solved the problem of sending MMS. But now I can not set the old SMSC number. Can you help?
EDIT: Thanks, but I solved by putting the SIM in an old phone and restore code SMSC.
Excuse my English.
I dont have a galaxy but i keep running into this issue.
Plus im on sprint, and when i go into the phone to update the SMSC number i keep getting update error.
I have been searching but i can not find anything that has helped.

Thank you so much i was pulling my hair out over this. I had the message center number but had no idea about the PDU conversion. It's also worth noting that you can check the PDU is correct by pasting the first 16 characters into "Hexadecimal PDU message"(its ABOVE the smsc box) and pressing convert. It will convert it back and you should see your message centre number you entered down in the SMSC box in the "Readable PDU message" box. If not, you've copied the wrong digits. It's Best to copy ONLY the first 16 chars as you are checking only your SMSC.
Dude Thanks so much for this, Vodafone have been trying to figure this out and knew nothing about the conversion and then tell me my phones broken !!! Shows you how much they know !!! Much Appreciated my friend really good help !!
Problem
This doesn't work for me. Maybe because i am in Greece. Maybe i have to change the Receiver on this page.I don't know, help me
Try using GoSMS. Go to Settings > Advanced > Enable customized SMSC number and put your carrier's SMSC number in. Did the trick for me and it even sticks after uninstalling GoSMS!
May Be this will work

Hi Buddy,
Many thanks for this thread.
I tried the steps but didn't help me on my Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos (GT-I9082) upgraded to CM 11-20141008 build.
Neither settings are not stored nor after updating the code SMS sending works.
I have verified the SMSC no.

Friends,
I got the issue fixed.
The SMSC code is to be entered in the PDU encoder as + Country Code & SMSC number e.g. +91991xxxxxxx in the box under header "String sms message". Select 7bit "Alphabet size". Remove the text message . Thereafter hit "Submit" button. The hexadecimal PDU message created will be something like "AT+CMGW=8
0791198922700800110000910000AA00".
Use first (from left) eleven (11) digits from this code and enter in the phone.
Many Thanks for support and guidance by all and most importantly this site for rescue.
Regards,
//Ramakant
All of these advice on smsc is wrong. All you do, is enter the damn smsc number in quotes, PDU is not necessary at all.

Dude near 2 hours on the phone with str8 talk and countless days past since I've searched n searched... I would lick your nut sack if I didn't like ***** so much...my comment will probably be deleted. But in any case to ANYONE THAT CANT USE THE *#*#4636#*#* OR THAT DOESNT HAVE THE MESSGAE CENTER NUMBER IN THEIR SETTINGS IN THE MESSAGE APP THEN FEAR NOT BC ITS IN your network mode settings I tried several codes none took me there. So I download force LTE from the play store or anyone of them will do that I've used... and that big ass SMSC that says updated refresh well that's it it's right there. And I'm supposed to know alot about phones and computers but this gave me nightmares....anyways thank you to the o.p. who probably won't see this anyways but your method needs updated a tad. With a 3rd option to find that setting. Jus download an app for LTE switching from Google or apkpure or wherever. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

I would suggest you to leave it empty. You can key in your area code in each of your contacts number (e.g. use full area code + number for all contacts). Mine is empty, works well.

And i'm talking abt SMS/MMS not email.
Seems fine.. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the SMS center's number. Go Start -> Settings -> Phone -> Services (bottom tab) -> Voice Mail and Text Messages -> Get Settings Check the number on Text messages service center (e.g. with/without country code, but it is the FULL phone number). I'm not sure about your telco.. but you may check this number using another persons phone (with the same telco) or probably they have it listed on their website.

And as far as voice mail is concerned i have inserted no voice mail number there, the box is left empty.
I am not statisfied!!! I dont know why my heart isnt satisfied with WM 6.0 Tri-Sync Edition can anybody tell me this too that which of the WM 6.0 ROM is best. Thnx in advance.

[solved] Problem with Contacts and International Country Codes
So Ive been using my HTC Ozone (6.5 Standard, 3VO rom) for a while in israel, and the way the cellular network works is as follows: country code is +972 the number that shows up on an incoming call is 052-555-5555. The number that shows up on an incoming text is +972-52-555-5555. The number that shows up on an outgoing call when dialing without the country code (aka 052-555-5555) is +972-052-555-5555. All of these differences mean that if I have a number saved in the contact manager (in only one of the above forms), it isnt displayed 2/3rds of the time. If i send a text to ME(052-555-5555), the reply comes back from an unsaved number, in a new thread is +972-52-555-5555. Is there a way for me to just save the base number (052-555-5555), and have the phone's contact manager realize that its the same number is the +92 equivalent? My current workround is saving all the forms of a number to a contact, but 1. its tedium to go through all my contacts and do this, and 2. you can only save so many numbers to a contact, which means im screwed if the contact has two different numbers. I see all these fields in the "current country" setting, but I have no idea what they mean, or if that is even the solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
hey , i got the same problem on my Omnia 2 with windows mobile version 6.5 The local incoming call won't show the country code, and sms does the opposite way. check through all my phone setting, can not find any related option for this. Thanks for anyone can provide a resolution.
i just resolved my problem. hope this way can help you as well. get a regedit software on your windows mobile phone. go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/Phone under it, you should able to see a key name "CallIdMatch", change the value to maybe 8 or 9, which means it will match the last 8 or 9 numbers for each incoming call or sms. (use decimal) after the changing, reboot your phone.
Wow, it worked!! Thanks a lot man!
thanks for the tip jason_ma! i was also wondering about it.
Anyone know how to edit CalIidMatch an an HTC hero
[Q] Can send MMS but not SMS?
Really strange. I suddenly lost the ability to send SMS messages. I can still receive them, and I can still send MMS, pictures...etc., but NOT SMS. This has happened before once on my Nexus One, I went into messaging, opened settings, and there was an option for "Service Center number" or something similar...I was then able to input the SMSC # "12063130004" and all was well. However, in Gingerbread on the nexus S, there is no such option under messaging settings I tried *#*#info#*#* as well, went to the SMSC box which was blank, entered "+12063130004", then clicked update...but I keep getting "Update Error". I'm not sure if this matters or not, but when I choose "Refresh" to the right of the blank SMSC box, instead of obtaining the correct telephone number, I get "00". If anyone has encountered this, or has any other possible ideas...I'm all for it. I've tried some basic stuff, cycling battery, restoring from nandroid...even flashing a stock 2.3.1 and unrooting/unlocking the Nexus S, and I am still stuck, totally unable to send an SMS. Please help!
SMS seems good on my end :/ maybe just an issue in your area?
slowz3r said: SMS seems good on my end :/ maybe just an issue in your area? Click to expand... Click to collapse Possibly, thanks for checking. I wish there was a way to manually enter a SMS service number in messaging settings like in previous android versions. I was thinking maybe for some reason my SIM card is too old, and suddenly decided to not be recognized properly. Looks like I'll be going to t-mobile tomorrow,
May wanna give them a call. going into a store they wont be able to help you
I've found that the primary merit to taking my phone to T-Mobile when it's messed up is so the guy behind the counter has to go through the list of things you already tried that the phone support agent is required to tell you to try again instead of having to do it myself. At least I can check out some cool phones and accessories while I wait. >.>

Yeah. Unfortunately, since the Nexus S isn't supported by T-Mobile, giving you a new SIM card is about all they'll probably do, unless you're lucky and get a rep who's actually tech savvy.

Click to expand... Click to collapse The @Tmobile twitter is way handy and the reps who run that, are actual engineers so send them a tweet
This could be many things... does the Nexus S not have the ability to do the *#*#4636#*#*? That is the code on every Android phone (save a very few POS) to get into the "engineering" menu. Select "phone" from that menu, then scroll to the bottom and bingo, SMS service center number entry... first hit refresh to see what is shows, if not correct delete, enter in the correct one, then update. If the phone doesn't have the *#*#4636#*#* menu, not sure... perhaps your SIM doesn't have the SMS service center # saved to it anymore? New SIM would correct that, or putting your sim in an basic phone, then changing the service center # on that phone would put it back on the SIM. Also, have you tried texting yourself to make sure it isn't a cross carrier issue? I know Verizon, for example, doesn't play very nicely with other carriers (actually all carriers prioritize in network traffic over cross carrier traffic, but Verizon seems to be especially bad in my experiences). (FYI, I was looking through as I am thinking about getting a Nexus S and saw this thread, and couldn't help but toss in a word or two given I sell cell phones and have to deal with things like this all day).

SMSC Update Error - Solved I had the same problem - but found a way to solve it without replacing sim. What you need to do is to insert the sim into an older phone and update message central number from there. I fixed it using a nokia 3210 - after having tried using an n95 with no success. While trying to figure out what was wrong i tested with another sim also - and when reading out the SMSC from the *#*#info#*#*-menu i found that the number is stored in some strangely obfuscated way. Here is how it stores number for two of norways major operators: Netcom: +4792001000 - shows as 06917429000100 Telenor: +4790002100 - shows as 06917409001200 What the first 4 digits are for, i'm not sure, perhaps a code for '+' but whats interesting is the last 10 digits - they are basically swapped around in pairs of two. I tried inputting the digits for the other central in this manner, and sure enough - it saved ok! Hope this help someone
grab another phone and put your SIM card in it then try to send a SMS see if that works properly or not. if that works, then it might be a SNS setting issues if the SIM card does not send SMS on another phone, then you'll need to swap your SIM card with a new one.

a one-phone solution from www google com tw/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=078232a74455bbf0&hl=en Code: OK, I managed to fix this. I'll post the answer because this was buried deep and is a pain. Answer is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-926771.html The relevant text is below. One thing I'd say is that the link is a bit vague on how to do the conversion. You need to put your SMSC number in the page, clear the rest of the info and press convert. You then need to ignore the numbers after 11. For example, my vodafone +447785016005 goes to 0791447758100650110000910000AA00, which shortens to 079144775810065011. Go to the *#*#4636#*#* menu and put that in SMSC and hit update. Messages now send!!!. Hopefully I can save someone else the grief I've had all day... " to update the SMSC in android, the number first need to be encoded please use below url to encode the SMSC http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode for example, if your SMSC is number is +4531300000, after encode, it is 0691541303000011 put this in the info page, and it will work. "
SMSC PDU - I might be an idiot.
Well first off, it looks like I'm the only one to blame for accidently wiping my smsc number in the first place but I've been trying to fix this for the past two days with no luck. The smsc number I need to put in is +4531310000 but for the life of me I can't figure out the correct PDU encoding of that number using the various online PDU converters. I know how to enter the smsc using *#*#4636#*#*, but I need some help figuring out exactly how to get the right PDU smsc number to type in.
Hi,
On mine I am using the VF Australia SMSC (+61415011501) & under the test menu it is listed as: ("+61415011501",145). I don't know what the 145 at the end means but using the same method, you could try entering:
"+4531310000 ",145
Try exactly as it is above including the quotes.
Hope this helps you.
Cheers,
Rob
Thanks, but no luck for me :-(
cannot send ams but everything els works
Hello I got Moto Razr M and trying to use Telstra, Australia gsm simcard. Successfully unlocked & rooted it and installed the last rom of cm10.2. I can make calls, access the internet & receive text messages, but I cannot send text messages. I tried everything what I found on google but nothing works. do you guys know what the problem could be ? Since there is no option to check the SMSC number I entered *#*#4636#*#* and in the Testing - Phone information section * there is no number next to SMSC, so I clicked on the "Refresh" button and the number +61418706700 appeared next to the SMSC, which is correct. I clicked on the "Update" button then exit out of this. * When I go back the SMSC is empty again. I put my simcard in a other phone and then it works so i think it have nothing to do with smsc. Thanks!
