I purchased a G1 from craigslist. Turned out it was an ADP device. I updated the recovery image, updated to Haykuro SPL, and Cyanogen ROM.
Everything worked except that SMS messages would not send... (I didn't try MMS messages).
I checked and double checked everything. ON another forum I found advice to acquire access to some Phone Info settings using "ANYCUT" - a free app.
Create a shortcut to your desktop using ANYCUT: Shortcuts>Activity>Phone info.
The above suggestion stated to use the above shortcut to turn off - then, back on - the phone's radio. That did not work for me. Also, in that shortcut was a space for a SMSC - whatever that was.
I called ATT and spoke to a knowledgeable associate who asked if my SMSC had been set and what was my number. I remembered seeing the SMSC setting in the above shortcut. I was provided with the ATT SMSC number for an HTC device for my area as "+13123149810" I used the above shortcut to enter the number and selected "update"
This solved my problem.
If you have similar problem I would suggest attempting the above. Call your provider and ask for the correct SMSC and enter it in using the above method.
I observed several posts on various forums where persons where told to go get a new sim card. I don't know if that would work or not. But, it was not necessary in my case.
Thank you for the post!
This worked for me.
My ulocked G1 was working fine with Cyanogen 4.0.4. I upgraded to 4.2.1 and lost my ability to send and receive SMS messages.
I followed your instructions, but for some reason I lost my 3g when I opened the Phone Info via the AnyCut link. I changed to GSM only and got Edge, at least. Guess I need to play with it more.
Anyway, I'm on the STC aljawal network here in Saudi Arabia. (Jawalnet) using an unlocked G1 and sending and receiving SMS messages again. Yay!
If there happens to be anyone else having SMS issues, the number on the STC website is +966505031999
I think this is the SMSC number, because when I put it in the SMSC box on the Phone Info I was able to send SMS messages again.

I have just found out that I can't send text messages, I can receive them just not send them. From talking to the phone company they have asked me to make sure my message setting number is correct but they couldn't tell me where it was and I couldn't find it.
Apparently this number is used when sending text, can anyone help by letting me know where this setting is.
I don't believe it is the rom or radio as since I found the issue I have been trying all types of roms and reverted my radio back down to 26I, no joy.
Currently I have CyanogenMod 5.0.8 installed
Found this answer from "Nexus One","BryanNexus1"
Dialing *#*#4636#*#* AKA *#*#INFO#*#* brings up a troubleshooting/statistics menu page. Dial that and select Phone information and at the bottom you can enter the SMSC (Short Mail Service Center) number. If the phone can receive but not send SMS it could be a carrier outage or issue 90% of the time. Morlin it is not risky to update the SMSC number. Kerorek gave the correct one for T-Mobile (12063130004). SMS is a voice issue and has nothing to do with data. Morlin try to update the SMSC number and powercycle the phone and test sending SMS.

for New Zealand the number is +6421600600
I had a similar issue some time ago. I remember trying to fiddle with various settings, but that didn't really do me any good.
I ended up wiping the phone and restoring all my SMS/Contacts/etc. Worked like a charm.
Just had this issue, after stupidly messing about in the very area I need to be in to fix it, ( pressed update smsc number with no number typed in, could receive messages, but not send them), full data+cache wipe did not fix this, nor did flashing other roms, since the SMSC reset wipes it from SIM I believe.
Looking up the correct SMSC number for my network and entering this fixed it however, and sms behaviour is back to normal.
So thanks for this, and remember folks, no matter how smart you think you are, all it takes is one stupid moment to remind you, you are just like everyone else
I have HTC Wildfire rooted. I cannot send sms but i can receive them and make calls and receive them.
SMSC number is correct and i have tried even wrong ones.
I have tried hard reset and taking battery and SIM Card off.
I have tried different ROMs.
I have tried to restore from backup and use different messaging app.
I am from finland and my operator is Saunalahti.
Hopefully someone can help
I had the same thing once after an RUU install how I fixed it.
Apps>Messages>Menu>Settings>Service Centre Number= you must have a number in this field or you will not be able to send messages.
You can get in contact with your Phone provider to get their number. Or if you have a number it must be the right number for your company..
Hope this is of some help to you.
Go to Mobile network settings and go to SMSC Settings and put in +13123149810 click update. This number is for ATT US. Try looking up your SMSC Android settings on your carrier and putting it in andn hopefully it works. If not try restarting and see if it works then. Make sure u have all of your APN settings setup for your carrier 2.
I Have Radio 01.97.00R http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128963
I upload my APN for AT&T, (Update) Should be able to send and receive pictures and video to and from people for At&t only!
Download ApnManager From Market.
Put ApnManager Folder in to the internal sdcard.
Open ApnManager and click resort APN. See if u can now send and receive, If not try restarting.
My old APN had Custom Tethering that messed up Picture Messaging! You can try deleting that if u can't send or receive pictures!
For GSM handsets, the SMSC number is actually stored on the SIM card. The handset should update from the SIM to correctly display the SMSC.
Also, a universal instruction for all GSM Android phones to verify or change the SMSC is to dial *#*#4636#*#*, select Phone Info, and scroll down to SMSC. You can refresh to see what's already there and update the SMSC if it's incorrect.
Not trying to threadcrap, just wanted to make sure you had this info!
Thx

Hi everyone. I purchased a sanyo incognito phone, successfully activated it and followed a guide i found here on how to pfash evo to Boost Mobile. I followed all steps without any problem. Did a copy o all correct nv items, copy of nam from donor phone to evo. I successfully zeroed all location (flashed to RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.29.651.5_Radio_2.15.00.09.01_NV_1.77_CNV_release_150224_signed and then unrevoked3), did restart and found at ##786# all zeroes in mein and esn. Then successfully write donor MEID (esn was generated correctly and writed by itself). Then i put HA and AAA passwords into the phone.
What i've got now - is fully working internet with 3g (i'm not sure, but speed sems to be pretty fast), however voice and text messaging are not working. Text messaging showing error code 97 class 2, and when I'm trying to call someone i got a srange message from operator (i believe from sprint) - i attached it.
The only thing happen strange to me - when i tried to write all aaa and ha passwords with 0 profile in QPST Service Programming andter flashing it whowes me an error something like ESN has been changed or something.. However i found this on google and somebody wrote that i shouldn't worry about that - all information was written successfully.
In settings about the phone i see next information:
MEID: donors meid
Phone number: correct phone number as on the donor
IMSI: some numbers?
current username: boost mobile user name
prl 60683'baseband 2.15.00.01.01
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be gratefully appreciated! I just don't know what to do - i didn't find similar problem on the whole internet! Maybe i was looking wrong?
Thanks for everyone in advance.
and here what I've got in QXDM after writing correct meid into the EVO - check attached picture
should DIAG TX items be zeroes?

Have you done a factory reset, and re-input the ha aaa passwords. And all other info in service programming? Had to do it with two phones cause i counldnt receive incoming calls or texts. After a factory reset. Then the fresh write, all worked. I cancelled the ota but let it kick in after final reboot. Might be worth a try.

If Sprint is saying Error Code 16 Switch number whatever and is calling a representative. Your EVO has been flagged. You'll need to let the call go thru answer their identity questions about your Boost account and they will clear it. I just did it 2 days ago. NOTHING else will clear the code 16, ONLY a Sprint Security Specialist can clear it. After they reset your Boost account the voice will work.
Hooray! I did it! It works now! Thank you everyone, and especially Dean_L. Next time when i called any number the system transfered to a representative who asked me a few questions about my account and then reset it for me. Now the phone calling is working. However text message still not working. Trying to resolve that problem now. Thanks again
Fixed problem with text messaging by calling customer service. They asked me what is the phone I'm using and i said Incognito - lie, but it worked!
The only thing left - is the MMS messages. I can recieve them, but can't send! Running miui latest rom. I changed MMS apn http://mm.myboostmobile.com (through voice dialer "Open A P N"), but no luck. Is any suggestions on this? Thanks.
Finally i found the fix. It's already been here, but i will post it again. The way to send MMS is to install Go SMS Pro from the market (it's free) and change in settings different mmsc address. The "Open A P N" method is not working. Or i installed SexynSmooth rom, which is sense rom and change mmsc by dialing ##DATA# - and it worked great for me. ANd exen long text messages works too (on miui they not working, unless you install gosmspro and change settings in it to manually partition them).
I love MIUI rom - so far it's the best one, but i don't want to use those forsk like installing different apps and not gonna be able to send long text messages. Hope they will change it in future versions and will app manual mmsc to their application.
Hi
I have a little problem. Normally I should be able to just hold the "1 button" in the dialer and it should call the voicemail number stored on the simcard, but instead it says that the number is not setup and that I should configure it in settings. I then press settings and try to put in the voicemailnumber, but then I get an error that it couldn't be said and that I should contact my provider if the error persists.
I have called my provider but it hasn't helped much (they tried taking reassociate my voicemail from their side, they got me to change simcard and reset the phone, but still no solution)
So there are 2 problems:
Nexus4 is not reading the voicemailnumber stored on the simcard
and
I cannot manually set the voicemailnumber
This is on stock android 4.2.1 and the number is ported from a normal sim to a micro sim(and I know am running on another micro sim the said I should try)
Does anyone know what is failing and what I can tell my provider to get this fixed. I know it is minor annoyance and I am just calling voicemail from my contacts instead.
Best Regards
Hasse

Do you have google voice app installed on your phone? If you do try removing and then try adding the number,.
Thanks for the suggestions. The apn settings is correct - so they must have been read correctly from the simcard
I don't have Google voice installed(seems I cannot even get it in danish play store)
The problem also exists after doing a factory reset and 3/three has also replaced my simcard, but I still cannot set my voicemail number (in the settings of the dialer). So I'm thinking that 3/three in Denmark maybe are doing something wrong with the simcards? I will try later to put it into another phone and see how that work
