Im getting the following error on my Sprint 700wx whenever i try to text an email address: "Could not send message. The message center number or the email center number is invalid. Please contact the wireless operator." Was this issue ever solved? Or am i doomed to send emails thru outlook only?
"text an email address"
if you by text mean sms then it will not work
one can only sms telephone numbers
and most countries only mobile phone numbers
Rudegar where do you get your misinformation? you can send sms to email addresses all day every day. and vice versa im on verizon and if you email from your home computer my mobile [email protected] i will get it as a sms!!! and if i sms your email you will get it because of verizon's sms to email server. to answer malibu's question your settings in tools or options are incorrect sprint does have a message center number (unlike verizon) and you need to obtain it. its here in the forum somewhere. then go to manual settings and edit the mcn kk. unfortunately for verizon the palm threaded is just a good sms threader and doesnt allow sending email or mms but it does receive them. hope this answers your question.
then thats a service your cellphone provider offers
it's not std
thx, im on the hunt for the sprint mcn...
if you have access to an pop3 email service you can just add that acount
and use it when connected to gprs

I have trouble sending e-mail on my device. I sent using a connection like GPRS or dial-up, it makes no difference in this matter. I use dutch provider chello to send and receive my e-mail. Every e-mail I send, gives the error (mail message in inbox appears):
From: System Administrator
Subject: Invalid message recipients
Body: Your message 'my subject' was not sent and has been moved to the drafts folder. The following recipients are invalid: 'email-adress from the person I want to send it to'.
Receiving mail works fine, but sending won't do Any help?
Your pda seems to try to check the recipients mail address at your providers mail server and this seems not to work.
Have a look at your account settings (as always I've to guess the english terms, because I'm running a german OS):
At the bottom of the messaging app there's an item called something like "accounts".
Open this menu and click on "acconts...". There, click on tab "adress" on the bottom of the screen. There shouldn't be any check marks within the second box, if there is something checked, uncheck the item, otherwise your pda will try to check the recipients mail address at your providers and if your provider doesn't support this feature, you'll get the error messages you've mentioned.
HTH,

I figured it out. Part of the problem was solved by your reply, thanks!
I did change the mail server for outgoing mail to the right one, I had mail.chello.nl but it had to be changed to an orange or zonnet server. It works now.
I'm having the same trouble but I only have one option under 'Verify names using these address books' which is POP3 and is unchecked.
I'm guessing I need to add an Orange address server in there?
Hi All
Somehow I just cannot send Text (SMS) from my HTC cell.
I have configured the Web GPRS setting & the internet works, I can send MMS messages but cannot send SMS msgs. Though I can receive SMS msgs sent to me. Wierd uh..... I inserted my SIM card into another phone & I can send & receive msgs. So I know it has to do with some setting on my new HTC cell.
Can someone please shed some light on this
Thanks

I think it could be in some file or registry. Because wm's creators missed this option in GUI.
I have the same problem like guys above.
Maybe someone know where is this log to edit it manually. I mean SMS Service Center...
Thanks for any reply!
how about sending SMS only?
I am trying to get my TouchPro to send SMS instead of MMS. I have the phone 514 number for text message settings. I don't want to send a text and ppl who received it gets it like a MMS.
I have been using youmail.com for a while before I got the google phone but now with the G1 I dont get the voicemail indicator from my service provider. Does anyone have any insight into how to set up the G1 properly or another service that has similar functions?
And I tried PhoneFusion and didnt like it because of the double notifications.
Youmail works on the G1 just like it does on other tmo phones. You get a text message notification when you get a voicemail. The provider's voicemail indicator doesn't show up because the call was never sent to the the provider's voicemail system.
Just make sure you set up your voicemail number as well as call forwarding numbers for youmail, configure youmail on its website, and you're good to go. Also, you might want to add "YouMail" to your contacts, both by its dial-in number and by the four digits or so the text notification comes from, so that your notifications are like you want them.
And yes, PhoneFusion was way too annoying for me as well. I would much rather have individualized voicemail greetings for my contacts, as well as "ditchmail" greetings for the telemarketers. Been using it since it was introduced.
It was all setup and working on my Hermes and it would show the voicemail indicator but on the Dream I only get the text and no indicator. Little annoyances like that always make me go for the default option.
Interesting that it worked on the Hermes. Maybe it's a difference in ATT? I've been using Callwave for a couple years and switched to Youmail when I got the G1, always on T-Mobile and never got the voice mail indicator...which makes sense considering your "network" VM box never gets anything in it. In fact at one point my call forwarding got reset and I was tipped off by the sudden reappearance of the VM indicator!
I used YouMail on my Excalibur (Dash) with WM6.1 and, like the previous poster, only got the standard VM notification when something messed up with the forwarding numbers.
It would be cool if an Android webapp were made that checked YouMail on their site. Then PhoneFusion would definitely be out of the running.
Ya, I am not sure how it worked before but I think it was youmail that would send your phone the voicemail notification. It was basically a straight replacement for the provider service but I was able to have different voicemail messages for each caller.
Youmail works very well on the G1. If I miss a call, I get a notice. If they leave a VM I get a SMS (if they don't leave a message I *could* get a SMS but I choose not too).
Custom answers, ditching telemarketers and getting my VM via email is TOTALLY worth it.
I am to the point where I couldn't stand it if I didn't have Youmail (or some other competant equivalent).

I'm on the total-internet plan instead of the official G1 plan so I don't have text messages bundled. That means it costs me money each time youmail notifies me of a voicemail. I can have it notify me via email, but then the voicemail is lost within the tons of emails I normally get.
Solution: t-mobile email triggers.
Email triggers is a service that t-mobile provided a long long time ago to certain phones like the SDA and MDA. Basically, you login to t-mobile.com and configure the service to periodically check an external mailbox, like gmail, for new emails and then will send an SMS to you. The trick is that you're not suppose to view this SMS as a t-mobile application on your phone is suppose to look for this SMS and when one comes in, it will be triggered to pull down new emails from the mailbox that the SMS indicates. The key is that you're not charged for this trigger SMS.
So in short:
1. Configure youmail to send the voicemail alert to a gmail mailbox
2. Configure t-mobile email triggers to check that gmail mailbox and either alert you for all emails (if the mailbox is dedicated to youmail) or only alert you when certain text is detected (like "YouMail"). You need to tell t-mobile.com that your device is a SDA before you do this.
Now, I will get a free text message alert from youmail. I don't use sms so the text alert will really standout apart from my email alerts.
On another related topic, you can configure the "1" key on the phone to dial youmail, but that reverts back to the t-mobile number on its own. Now I just use a shortcut to youmail's number.

I am on the total internet plan also but I do get text messages for free... weird. I better check my account!! The rest of your comments are spot on and a great alternative method for notification.
I didn't check the speeddial voicemail (#1) for awhile since I usually dial from the SMS...It did reset it to TMo... interesting. I'll have to watch that more closely.

Hello,
actually I plan / search a app that send automatical all sms to my email account and with a answere from the email account the device send a message to the number.
It´s that possible?
Input SMS --> Send mail (Subject = phone number)
Answere --> Send mail to device (Subject = phone number) --> device send sms to number in subject.
regards from germany,
Bibox
Can't you just send an SMS to someones email addy anyway? Thought I used to do that all the time...
Sent from my TBolt using my f***king thumbs...
Receiving the sms and sending an email can be done using tasker. Don't know how to do the other part.
It kinda exists:

Not quite what you described but close enough. You'll be then to forward the email to whatever address you like
I recently switched from a Motorola android phone on Verizon to an S5 on AT&T
I spent many hours with AT&T and Samsung phone support over the weekend trying to get to the bottom of a problem I am having -
When the phone receives a text via email. Instead of appearing in the text logs as the FROM email address, it uses some id that is associated with a server somehow. The first text via email I received is showing the caller as 1210100001 and it increments from there. After having received many more texts via email I am now up to 1210100031. When I receive messages from AT&T, I see IDs of different lengths but I don't care about those.
When you receive a text via email the first thing you see in the message is "FRM: [email protected] but in the log it shows up as 12101000xx
On my Motorola/Verizon/Android the FROM email address appears in the log as the sender and more importantly emails from the same address are all grouped together. As a matter of fact I backed up the SMS from that phone and imported it into the S5. I can go back in my history and see the texts grouped by sender so that you can scroll through and see all your conversations on one screen. On the S5 I can only see one text at a time. No grouping of any kind.
AT&T says the problem is with Samsung. Samsung says that's how it works period and I should go back to Motorola (shocking).
I downloaded a third party SMS app but find the same thing in the log. Shouldn't all android phones work the same in regards to this?
Is there a way I can get it to work the way it did on Motorola? I am rooted now. Will a custom ROM correct the problem?
OK I guess this is a difference between AT&T sms gateway and Verizon SMS gateway.
My big problem is not being able to see all the email texts in one scrollable screen in chronological order.
Anybody know how I could view all message logs from sender 12010100xxx in one long scrollable view in chronological order?
