Sim Message appears every 30 seconds

I have a HTC Touch - Windows Mobile 6.0 device and recently changed mobile provider. Now whenever I active the phone on my device I get a pop-up with the same message each time (an ad for backing up the Sim contacts with the provider). If I press ok I get another pop-up 30 seconds later.
I looked for a way to turn off the pop-ups but can't find anything. Does anybody know a way to turn this off?

I don't have a solution for stopping the messages, but might I suggest actually taking the SMS's advice and backing up your contacts, maybe then it will actually stop bugging you?

Thanks Jadel I don't think that will help however, though I won't be able to test until I fully switch providers. My contacts are already backed up in Gmail, Hotmail and Exchange.

May be there is contact backup as sim service? Go to sim services and look for this service if any????? May be you can do something from there.

that's a good suggestion. it seems your provider has something to do with this as i'm not familiar with anything that offers this weird thing automatically.

[Q] App whats app how to deactive a fake account

Hi,
One of my friend lost her smart phone she did everything to block the telephone and all that. Now, somebody is using fake id with her name and had been using Whatsapp with her name and using her contact number.
Is there any way to deactivate that account ?

When you lose a phone, first thing to do is inform all your contacts (via SMS from another phone) about the lost phone. If you do this, then all your associated contacts won't mind or ignores the messages or calls received from that number, as they'd be knowing its fake (I guess a Contacts Backup has been made into computer or synced with Gmail). And the next thing to do is, inform your Network/SIM operator and block the SIM. Anyways I'm still not sure, whether Whatspp will work on blocked SIM's or it just needs a working number at the time of its activation?! Have a look at these --> Whatspp FAQ, and see whether something mentioned on it helps.

well !! she tried contacting whatsapp support team through mail and the response is still awaited. The contacts have been informed about this but still using fake status and propagating wrong things about a person cannot be permitted.
I wonder if there is a way to deactivate the account using website or some software etc

I'm assuming you can't get a new simcard with the same number? And than have the old one in the lost phone blocked ofcourse. Cause than you could just reactivate whatsapp on a other phone which makes it unactivated on the lost phone.

[Q] HTC 8X Windows 8 - AT&T - Backing Up Entire Phone

Hi people!
I have an HTC Windows 8X phone locked to AT&T.
I'm a newbie to the forum so please don't hang me for asking but is there any way to backup other phone info besides your app settings?
I had to do a reset but using the cloud backup only allowed my programs and a few other things.
My phonebook, wireless settings, email settings, icon placement etc had to all be redone.
I know it does the apps, pix and texts but I'd at least like to have my phonebook if nothing else.
I had my old phonebook copied from my old phone (a Moto on AT&T) and they (AT&T) copied my phonebook from the old
SIM to the new one. I was then able to copy from the SIM to the phone... but you can't copy back to the SIM so any and all
contact updates and corrections can't be stored on the SIM again for future transfers back and they aren't backed up to the cloud.
I actually do like the phone, I just wish they'd give you more options as to what to back up so I don't have to wind up
writing down all my contacts for manual re-entry should something go haywire.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks!

Contacts not displaying on incoming call

I have an unlocked US variant S6 SM-G920T with Baseband (G920TUEU3COK1).
I have been using it on Tmobile without issues since Cyber Monday.
But now, randomly, when I get a phone call from a contact that is already in the phone, I see the number on the display rather than the contact name. After I either answer or reject or allow to go to voicemail, and then go look at the call log, the contact name is displayed. This is getting annoying as I keep ignoring calls that I would like to take ( and sometimes need to take).
Only thing I've tried is to clear data and clear cache in the contacts app.
Phone is not rooted. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Couple of questions:
1) Is it all contacts, or just some?
2) What type of contacts are they? Phone contacts, Gmail contacts or some other account?

All my contacts are stored in Google. So they were synced when I setup the phone. The issue seems to be random, but more often than not. I tried clearing the data in the phone app as well. No luck.
Thanks.
Update: I have just seen that this issue is for all incoming calls when the phone is in a LOCKED state.
When the call comes through while I am using the phone the contract shows fine with the name.
But still no solution in sight.

Honor 8 fails to send SMS

I love this phone for so many reasons, but there are too many times I've sent a SMS (either in Messenger or Honor's stock app, Messaging) and the send fails. If I try again, it'll usually go, but I don't think it should ever happen. Any ideas?

try checking the message center number etc in message settings. Cal your operator to confirm. Might happen when you switch to a new phone.

please read
check message center number if not entered call your service operator and ask for number also check mobile network,
no issue with phone problem is with your sim card

I've had this issue more and more with Android. It is very quick to decide there is no connection and will fail to send. Had this happen many times with both this phone and Nexus 6p.

Check APN settings with your mobile operator.

Yes. Make sure your APN settings on the device match with your service providers. Call them directly to confirm this #. [ns]

I have same issue with Cricket. Huawei support was no help. Basically told me clear the cash and check APN. I use Cricket and there is no option to change it.
I guess I need to stick with Facebook app for messaging

have you tried resetting APN? or factory resetting?

Is that app region specific? I suspect it is and depending on your device version it might conflict.

Was there ever a resolution to this problem? I'm getting the same thing on Fido in Canada with the correct APN, correct message center number and the amount of time to factory reset. And the time it would take me to set everything up again on this phone would take far too long for me to justify a factory reset.

This issue just started today for me, I've had the phone for a while now... Maybe 2 months

I suffered the same problem. I gave up and ended up installing the non-bloated Google's Messenger application to send SMS. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging Now I have fully working SMS'.

i have problem in sending sms. SMS NOT SENT appears. actually first time when i was sending an sms then i received an option please tick, to not send, it will cost, and i also tick on another option that KEEP ALWAYS my PRIORITY mean not to send an sms from my phone if it costs. now i cant sms to check my balance or any other information. plz help
