I've got some problems with sending SMS.
I read about people with this problem, but nothing to fix that problem.
Please give me some information how to fix the problem.
1. I have the right SMS center
2. I have intalled provider configuration after hard-reset
3. I use WM 6.5 (5.2.21500 - 21613)
4. I use latest Radio (1.14.25.24)
5. I use new Manila (2.0.37889.1)
When I will send a SMS to someone, some seconds later came up message "Can't send SMS".
With the same SIM I can send SMS with an other mobile.
When I got my Touch HD, I couldn't send SMSs either. It was a problem with my SIM card, that it was too old and I couldn't SMS in newer phones (like touch hd). Try to get a new SIM card.
Can confirm the above on HD in switzerland, got a new sim solved it.

I never heard about that. Why is there a problem with older SIM-cards??
Searching google don't give me any hint!
Is there someone with other ideas?
Intresting approach !
So lets run the above by me one more time.
You post saying that you cant send sms, give us info about your settings, rom and radio.
User one says "It was a problem with my SIM card, that it was too old and I couldn't SMS "
User two says "Can confirm the above on HD in switzerland, got a new sim solved it. "
and then you google not liking the answer.
Now you want somebody to give you another answer, will google and not like it and then ??
I for one can not answer the question of why one can have a problem with old sim cards only confim that I had it and I solved it. But What do I know.
Hi HDuser.
Thanks for your reply to my thread! But it didn't help ...
On writing my statement, the second one (you) told, that he fixed the problem with a new card, too. So I saw first just one answer, after submitting the second.
My reason to ask more people is:
- I have to pay for a new SIM. Why should I order a new one, just one person told something about a new SIM.
- I don't understand, where's the differents between this SIM-card new one vs old one.
Are there realy different SIM-versions in the market? I don't find anything about that search the net...
Please post some URL to read about that fact.

Update 1:
I checked out with an other SIM (newer from 2008 prepaid) and the news: with it I can send out SMS.
So I phoned with my provider today. I will get a new SIM for free. They told me, a new SIM is good for my battery and GSM-connection, too.
Update 2:
Today I got my new SIM. But SMS don't sendout :-(
Where's the problem - that's my question at all!
Yours Andreas
Now I can only go on what happend to me and that was a faulty sim.
I too have to buy a new sim but if the sim that I have does not work then its a fault of my provider not mine. (but I have a contract and not a pre-paid).
I cant point you to anywere as you yourself can't find the issue in google.
If you feel its not the sim, them use a friends and SMS with that one, prove that you can SMS on the device and you know its not the device.
Proving that you can SMS with your sim an other device does not mean that the sim works on your blackstone.
On mine device just reflashed I need only to go to phone, options - services -voice messages and text - get settings .... this gives me my text message service of my provider. I am set and can send.
Sms Sending Problem with simcard of U-Fone - Pakistan
i have HTC Touch HD i installed the new 1.56 V3.3 XTREME by Dutty based ROM. everything works fine but sms. when i send sms it stays in the outbox until i make a call. the sms is only sent when i make a call.
i have tried the new sim card solution but no use.
still having problem. if someone have a solution please help.
Think you will find that the sms goes even though it says it doesn't, at least that is what mine is doing as the girlfriend thought I'd gone mad and sent her about ten messages all about some flight details.
Even though the phone said not sent she got them all lol, but got to admit it is annoying and it has nothing to do with my sim it has only happened since shifting to the 1.56 base all previous cooked roms worked without this glitch.
I don't have interface to send SMS or type a new e-mail
when i try to send a new sms or a new e-mail i got a blank white page.
please help
on Dutty's roms this is known bug of manila.
I have an old simple sim, more than 5 years old, and I can send sms within standard sms application. but when I use manila (on dutty's rom) it sends somtimes, and sometimes it doesn't.
MOD EDIT

Hi guys,
I uploaded a new rom with windows mobile 2003, the radio stack 4.21 from O2 site and I am very happy with my device.
Thank you all for made the upgrade possible.
I just have some issues that I wonder if they can be solved:
1) my xda does not send SMS. I am not sure if it depends from the WM2003 upgrade, radio 4.21 upgrade, both of them (or none of them!!).
The SMS center number is correct and verified. I receive SMS.
When I send them, I get the message SMS sent. It stores the SMS in the Sent Items folder but......the SMS does not arrive at destination
2) When I receive phone calls, and my mobile phone is OFF (or out of coverage), after I turn it on again my mobile operator sends me an SMS showing the number of the guy (guys) who tried to call.
This works fine, although after the upgrade I receive 2 SMS, one with the number of the caller and another one empty (??).
2b) With my previous phone (Motorola Timeport), the mobile operator used a (java?) application to associate the number of a missed call with the phone numbers stored in the SIM.
It was easy to see who called you and eventually call back.
Without this function I have to search my contact list in order to see if that number belongs to somebody in my contact list....pretty annoying
Any idea of the solution to those issues?
Thanks a lot.
Claudio.
P.S. My mobile operator is Wind in Italy.
i am in the same boat claudio
Claudio,
which version of WM2003 did you upgrade to ?
Ciao, bruco
UPDATE
1) The phone still does not send SMS correctly. Which means: a) they arrive very late (the next day) b) they do not arrive at all
2) Double SMS from mobile operator.
It seems a bug of the phone/operator. Apparently this happens also to other mobile phones.
2b) No update :-(
For Andhy: You live in Italy and have Wind operator?
For Brix3: I upgraded to the WM2003 available in the Jeff's kitchen 4.00.11 ENG
do you have the phone numbers stored in your contacts saved with the county code in front of them ? ie. +447989111222 ?
If you have remove the country code, so you would be left with: 07989111222.
I'm using WM2003 4.0.11 and Radio Stack 4.21 and I can send SMS fine, and missed calls are shown with the person's name if they are in my contacts book.
Claudio: I live in Thailand. Now I had no problems at all with sending sms. I know it may sound weird, but this sms problem happened each time after I flashed a new ROM (Been playing around a bit the past days). ANd I found out that the cure was to re-inserting SIM card with different ones. In other words, I replaced the SIM card with another one from different provider, did a few sms (worked) then inserted back the 'original' one and voila.. all semeed fine.. strange eh.. but that's what happened and what I did.. I always make sure that the SIM card rubber cover is closed properly...
Andhy!!
YES!! That is a nice bug.
I changed the SIM card sent a couple of SMS (working) changed back my original SIM card and now......SMS sending is perfectly working.
Thanks!!!!

Hi all,
This topic started in 'general' but would be better placed here. If anyone has any more input please reply here - I think this is currently the biggest problem with the out-the-box v1605.

Cheers - Rich
I sent an email to HTC today and they told me there is no update...
This is still an issue
It apparently seems that the problem is only for Vodafone or Vodafone Group (SFR for example) users.
Any update on this issue ? This is really annoying....
Nothing I have heard yet. Apparently 242 mail notification works - but to sign up for this you have to get a code sent as SMS - and guess what - this SMS never turns up too!!!

I upgraded to the new HTC ROM but this has made no difference to the voicemail SMS issue
R
You can register at http://www.vodafone.net where you can set your alerts to be delivered by SMS. You need to enter your phone number for it to send a service SMS containing a passcode to, so you need to have your SIM a phone that you can get them on, ie not your v1605!! Once you've done that, you can put your SIM back into your v1605 and you'll then get SMS alerts for your voicemails and even the little answerphone icon in your top bar!!

I have finally taken this to the step of raising a technical ticket with Vodafone. After 3 days they came back to me saying it was definately the v1605 handset However, in order to try everything they are replacing my 5 year old SIM with a new one to see if that helps.
Hopefully this will at least solvev the problem of the vodafone,et registration SMS messsages not making it to my SIM no matter what phone it is on. At least then I can move to 242 instead....

as Matho indicates above, i have the v1605 as well as the Tytn and i have subscribed to 242 which now gives me voicemail text and icon.....
follow my thread indicated above, it's not the sim, it's the way the hermes variants handle the 'silent' sms texts that vodafone use for voicemail on their older 121 service
with 242 you can still even dial 121 from home or abroad and still pick up the same messages!! the voicemail icon and text service on 242 is much better than text or (annoying) dial every 3 seconds with vodafone 121
This is driving me mad - could not get the vodafone.net registration to work (it never delivers the autentication SMS) and my 121 has now also stopped 'alerting and delivering'. Vodafone sent me a new SIM but this has had no affect. I have tried the new SIM in a K750i but nothing. However, put my other (personal) vodafone SIM in my TyTN and I get the authentication SMS through straight away??? Could this be something to do with my main number being a business number and not a personal one?

I know it will not help, but my vodafone sim was also a business one and it worked 1st time
I haven't looked, but is there a way to repeat the signup process by selecting a 'forgotten password' option on the vodafone.net site? then put the sim into your k750 just at the point that the site sends out the sms confirmation.....I used a windows smartphone to get my sms so if you can get it on that I am sure the k750 will !
I hope you can get it work, it is a fantastic service
The problem is the same with all operators, it is a problem on the ROM. The only solution will be a ROM upgrade...
Suddenly at 22:00 last night I had 7 SMS messages come through - each with their own authentication string!!! Some 10 hours after my first attempt of the day. I went back to vodafone.net and registered again - worked first time. I am not ure if Vodafone did anything or maybe my new SIM neeed some time????
ALSO - it worked using the TyTN to recieve the authentication SMS - did NOT have to use another phone! I now have SMS notification and the *new* voicemail icon - excellent!
Rich (much happier)
Most excellent advice !
Subscribed last night and get text messages and the voicemail icon, even when roaming abroad now too !
Thanks all.
Just to add my two-pence worth to this subject.
I've just spent ages trying to sort out this problem!
I've got a v1605 on vodafone.....
I signed up to www.vodafone.net email, fax and voicemail facility (and managed to get the security SMS through ok) and all was looking good with my new mail/voicebox until I left myself a voicemail.
I got a SMS through saying I had a new voicemail to listen to, and the little O_O......I phoned 242 (or hit dial on the popup message), and was told I had no new messages :shock: - and as previous people have said the notification O_O wouldn't go away!!
As I soon discovered, dialing 242 on my mobile wasn't going through to the new service, it was going through to my old voicemail. If I dial my new voicemail box number (0788... number which I was given when signing up to vodafone.net) and press 9, and enter my PIN, I was taken through to the CORRECT mailbox, which had my message in it. After I heard that, the notification icon on the phone disappeared.
So for some reason dialing 242 isn't going through to the correct mailbox....I'm wondering whether this is something which will take a few hours to resolve.
I'll try again tomorrow, but if anyone has a solution let me know
Cheers people
you need to change the default number in the phone options.
goto phone, options, services, voicemail,get settings
in the voicemail box, I had 121 and still have but it seems to go through fine if it is on 242.......
each vodafone customer has a unique mobile number for answermachine but we can all access via 121 or 242....it was designed to use abroad when 121 was not always available, but most countries now support the use of 121 / 242
but, you may have noticed when you signed up at vodafone.net that you were given a new answer number (i think you can check it on the log in page).....if you are travelling where you can't get 121/242 or simply you have got used to entering your pin, put the new number in the voicemail settigs box in the phone app
hope it helps!
I updated my voicemail number to 242 in the phone settings.
I just tried 242 again, and it still goes through to the OLD 121 voicemail.
Hi Guys, i do not have a vodafone subscription so i don't have your problem. But i know there is some feature in wm5 where you can use incoming sms messages that meet given filter criteria to trigger a send/receive for an email account and collect your mail. thus an sms notification for new mail can be used to create a form of pushmail. if the sms message meets the filter criteria, you will never see the sms message. it just starts silently to get your email
on this link http://www-rocq.inria.fr/who/Arnaud.Porterie/projects/PushMail/
you will find a program that can make these settings. Could it be the case that on your phones this sms filter is activated by default for sms messages coming from your voicemail number but with no action attached to is. this could explain why messages vapourize
if this is the case perhaps you could switch this feature of with the program in the attachted link.
I have managed to get the Voicemail SMS Alerts to work.
I followed the link and regsitered and i recieved the sms with the code on my Voda Tytn and it did say it will take upto 24 hours.
I tested it and left a VM and it still did not work.
As i had errors, i ended up reflashing my phone again with the latest dopod version and did not modify the extended rom.
as soon as it booted up, i got the alert and it seems to working fine now.
I also managed to get all the Vodafone Connection Settings Back.

it's a known problem in the old ROM of HTC (here in Holland). Just update to 1.66 via the HTC website or flash a custom ROM.
i've flashed to the latest from 1.72 that i could get and still the problem persists?
Hi,
To the best of my knowledge, and personal experience, the original SMS problem was silent. You didn't get an 'unable to send sms message' alert. How did this message appear, was it from Windows, the message client or a text from your service provider? To be honest it looks to me like a service provider issue. have you ever been able to text out with the current SIM?
Now I have the same problem. How did you fix it?
SMS problem
I have this problem also.
I think it's a bug in the software of HTC-sense ( not WM ), while, when I send a free sms (only one's a day) from the Vodafone-button in the Start-menu, this works well.
I have all the update's done from the HTC-site, also all the Rom's I've tried from this site.
Update!
I have tried to send a SMS with HTC sense Off, this has No effect!
Update 04-04-2010!
With other sim in Phone (also other provider) it works normal! So, my phone is working good!
It must be a problem with my Sim or provider (Vodafone).
I let you know the next days the solution of this problem!
Update 06-04-2010
When I installed a new rom on my phone, also the original Vodafone-rom, he installed the wrong number for the messageservice, I have tried this many times, the install was without +31 (netherlands). After editing the number everything works great!
It could be that other costumers have the same problem, but with editing the number with your Country-number the problem must be fixed, my old number was 06540881000 (vodafone),
the new number is +316540881000 (Netherlands)
can't send sms
I have the sam problame with differt sim card of different providers so I don't know what to do, pleas help.
My rom version is 1.66
Thanks

I send group sms often and the device send for example 18 from 22 and the last 4 stay in outbox (after a "sending message is unavailable" error meassage. Maybe its a secret settings the max sms of a day? In HTC or provider?
Could it possibly be a ROM/Radio Version mismatch?

if you go to Settings > Wireless Controls > Phone > Voice Mail and Text Message, what is your text message service center number?
this should be set to Optus' service center number, im afraid i am a telstra customer... so i cannot tell you what the number is... i can tell you if the service center number is the telstra one though.
good luck.
I have another type of question, but in the same subject: I have sometimes the same sms problem, all settings are ok but I need to check every time if the sms message went out from outbox. Sometimes the outbox is empty so the message is sent but sometimes sits there and I have to send it again or delate and compose again. But I receive no info about this!!
My question is if it's possbile to activate somehow in HD2 the information that the message is sent? Like in most simple GSM phones, you have info "the message is sent" and sometimes animation of flying envelope. Before HD2, I used a Qtek S200 with Windows Mobile 5.0 and when I was sending an sms massage, always the information "message sent" was appearing.
Is it possible to activate somehow this info on HD2?? Because, if the message is sent, I can only guess that it sent before checking the outbox or sent messages...
Thanks in advance for a solution !!

Check with your telecoms website, it should tell you what the phone number the SMS service goes through
Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Phone -> Voice Mail and Text Message. The number should match your telecom's number. For some reason this can be blank, and can be the problem.
Sorry to reopen an old thread, but someone might find use for this answer.
I had the same problem, sms service center was ok. Solved it by changing sms carrier from gprs to gsm in advanced networks, witch can be found in Phone settings/menu/Advanced network/SMS service.

Have you checked if the SMS center number? (I think you can find how to do that in the manual or by contacting Vodafone).

I had same problem as each SMS I tried to send was found stucked in the outbox file and never been sent out.
That was solved be replacing the SIM card, with a brand new one i got.
The former Sim card worked perfect with my old device - but not with the new HD2.
Try to use another new Sim card to find out if that is the same case.
Wish u good luck.
hi there i had this problem with the sms and now i'm all good.
i have the 1.48 rom inst. and i have found on the htc europe site an update for sms. i' ve instaled it and after 1 month of testing it i have no problems with my sms not sending or stocked in the outbox like before. i'm also on vodafone
I have an HTC Legend (Vodafone Branded), that I am using unlocked in Lebanon.
Mobile phone numbers usually start with 03, and the International Country Code is +961.
When I send a message, it gets sent as 03****** and is stored in one thread. Then, when the same person replies to my message, it arrives as +9613******. The phone is considering them as 2 different phone numbers, and storing the received messages in a different thread.
Is there any solution? Shall I install a non-branded ROM or anything? Is there an app for that?
Btw, I have updated yesterday to 2.05.161.1 OTA, and now in addition to this problem, I have the problem of the SMS showing older messages first.
Handcent SMS doesn't fix the thread problem btw...
bump.... anyone?
The first problem I don’t recognize but I also have the problem that, when ever I got a new SMS, I have to scroll down to the bottom of the SMS list before I can read it. I did not have this problem before I did the update. I checked with a friend that has HTC Desire and he dose not have the same problem after the update. When he opens the SMS the list will show the last SMS that has received.
Same thing happens to me if I send a message to 09x xxx-xxxx, but if a message is sent to +385 9x xxx-xxxx it is in one thread, together with a reply. That's why I store all contacts with a country code (+385).

The ordering is a bug in the 2.05 update.
The thread problem might be easier to solve. Check if you have two contacts with the same number i.e duplicate contacts. If not that check if you have the number stored twice in the same contact. This might sometimes "confuse" the phone and lead to the above said problem. It happened to me when my google contacts got sync with my phone, I ended up having many duplicate contacts.

This is a bug in the latest Legend update [2.05]. The Desire is a different phone. The latest update it received was the Froyo update. The Legend is yet to get that update. And hopefully the update might fix the bug.
@ananthm2k5 thanks a lot, but the thing is that it is not even recognizing the number.... so the received messages get stored in a thread under +9613****** so it's probably not a problem of duplicate numbers or contacts.
I had a Telus HTC Hero before the Legend, and it didn't have this problem.
Is there an application I should install that could fix this problem, or would I have to debrand my Legend? And would debranding even fix the problem?
Thank you.
Generally when you have duplicate contacts the phone displays only the number .. but since you say you don't gave duplicate contacts ... I guess you could just back up and reset your phone to factory settings ...
Also ask the contact to call you ... see if it shows the proper contact or just a number ...
Installing other apps or debranding will not help ... you could try alternate messaging applications ... there are a quite a few .. look around the forums ... but I'm not sure about how good they are ... the default is good enough for me

Alternate messaging options don't fix the problem...
The weird thing is, that when they call me, it displays the correct phone number, and doesn't even show the +961 extension...
I haven't tried a factory reset, but I did try deleting all the messages... I'll try one asap... I just don't feel like restoring all the apps and contacts etc.... Do you know any good backup app that doesn't require root?

The Legend does a back up on its own ... its somewhere in privacy setting or something .. look for it ... and while doing a factory reset remove your SD card. ...
I just sold my legend and bought a Desire!
And im loving it!
That's what u all should
Alright, I have debranded my phone, and installed the official Europe HTC Legend RUU 1.31, but the problem is still there.
Also, meanwhile, I have contacted HTC Support, and here's their last reply:
Dear Marc,
I am afraid changing numbers manually is the only option I can offer you. According to your serial number, your phone is locked to Vodafone and has been purchased in Germany, which means it is not coded to recognise numbers from Lebanon. Your old Hero might be SIM free, that is why he can recognise the numbers. We do not provide unbranding services, as branded phones are property of respective service providers. As to 2.2 update, we don’t currently have the date of when it will be released to other devices.

However, my phone was not really locked to Vodafone Germany, since I could use my Lebanese SIM Card. I can use the phone, messages and mobile data. I also know that SIM Lock is not allowed in Germany. Shall I try to re-unlock it? Is there a way to know if my phone is somewhat locked or not??
My HTC Hero was locked to Telus, but I have gotten it unlocked by a third-party.
@Lola90, if you can find me a good deal, then why not?
what should i do?
Nobody has a solution to my problem?
Any recommendations? Rooting, custom ROM, anything?
factory reset did not work for you ?
No, it didn't work...
Any suggestion on what to do? Shall I try to re-unlock the phone, shall I install a custom ROM, or an Official North American, or Middle Eastern ROM, or is there an application that I can install?
