I have an HTC One S with T-Mobile USA which I've rooted and onto which I've installed CyanogenMod 10.2. Everything is working great except for one thing... I can receive text messages but cannot send them! I've scoured the forums for an answer and I've gone through this process:
- Dialed *#*#4636#*#*
- Went to SMSC option and pressed "Refresh" to display the SMSC number +12063130004
- Pressed Update
And then nothing happens...
I've read that once you click Update, it's supposed to take about ten minutes or so to reconnect the number with your service, but pressing Update just doesn't do anything. I even tried using the PDU number instead and that gave me "update error" in the blank space.
I'm at a loss here. What am I missing?
UPDATE: MMS works but SMS doesn't. This narrows things down slightly.
did you ever fix the problem because i have it now as well

I have a problem with my HTC Trinity (Formerly an Orange m700). I have updated the rom several times over the last 18 months and it has always worked with no problems. However, I recently updated to a Manilla2D rom (Karmba_a's) and I have lost the ability to text!
Whenever I write a text and press send, it says "Your text message cannot be sent." The message comes up immediately I press send. No matter how many times I retry, it will never send. The signal is fine and I can make/receive phone calls and *sometimes* receive texts (although there is also a problem with this too). I have tried everything I can think of - checked the message centre number is correct, tried with 3G and GSM. I have tried several old roms including the original Orange rom (which all used to work fine) and still the same problem. I have updated the radio rom.
It is not a fault in the network - I've tried my sim in another phone and it works fine.
Nothing I have tried will work. Does anyone have any ideas?
Anyone?
I used to get that message on my Nike sometimes. But, that was due to poor reception.
Have you hard reset your device?
Pfft, all sorted.
It was a fault at Orange's end. I spoke to customer services and they sent a SIM update via text which seems to have sorted it out. I have no idea why I could send texts with another phone the other day (I couldn't today) and I guess the timing coinciding with me updating the phone was pretty unfortunate.
Thanks though.
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
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.
Hi guys
Yesterday i flashed my OPO back to CM11S after trying CM12 nightly builds using this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/rom-xnph25r-cm11s-zip-t2820008.
Now I have the problem that I can send and receive text messages for 2 - 4 minutes when I turn on my phone but after that it keeps saying sending... I looked it up online and find something about disabling Google Voice but I don't have that here in Belgium. SO any idea on what i can try?
You could try resetting your SMSC number.
To do that:
1. Dial *#*#4636#*#*
2. Go to Phone information
3. Scroll down till you see SMSC.
4. Hit refresh
5. Enter the SMSC number and hit update
You can probably obtain your SMSC number at your carrier. If not just google it.
