My sms function stopped working the other day. I was running JPC on a I9000M.
I flashed back to JG8 and still didn't work. I have the same APN setting as before, while it was working.
Any ideas?

APN settings are used for data based services. For SMSs you need to check the Message Center number (Messaging > Settings > Message Center). Call your operator and verify the number you already have.

Hi,
I have a Samsung Vibrant. As I'm in Australia, I was playing around trying to connect to another frequency via *#*#4636#*#* > Phone information. I set it to AUS and backed out (pretty sure that's all I did). Then I couldn't send any texts .... at all. Failed.
I switched back to Automatic frequency - no difference....
I have re-falshed the OS with Odin, both with the most recent 2.1 release and also with one that is supplied on the xda post "OFFICIAL T-Mo Vibrant JFD ODIN/Nandroid Backup Images" (I'm not allowed to post links) (I've still got this one installed right now). Both made absolutely no difference.
I deleted all user data... no difference.
Now I have a stock phone entirely, that will not send any text messages.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Andrew
I've noticed that SMSC is blank - I tried to set it to the right number: +61411990001, but it just returns 'update error'. So I tried 0411990001. It didn't 'do' anything, but didn't return an error. It disappeared when I backed out and came back in. it didn't fix the problem.
Is there a trick to updating the SMSC that I've missed? It seems likely to be the error??
there is also no information in 'Your Phone number', and I recall that the default way to access voicemail never worked because of 'no voicemail number on the sim card'...... does this all add up to my sim card not having the correct default information? Is there a way to fix this?
....help

Here are a few tips:
1 in mobile settings click apn and make sure there is a green circle on thee right of the name for your apn. If not just tap on the circle once and out should turn green.
2 in mobile settings, click automatic network discovery then try step 1 again
3 open mms app, press menu and go to settings. Make sure auto retrieve is checked.
Let me know if this works or not.

@crazy25000: Thanks heaps, that led me in the right direction to correct the texting issue. I had no apn at all - no options and had to add it manually. I'm not sure that it worked, but perhaps. I did get to the right settings menu to fix the smsc number though, which is great.
I still feel like my sim card is not quite right - there seems to be no default data for the carrier on the sim.
Immediate problem solved though. thanks again.
i have done the same thing while fiddling with my vibrant. sms wont send because the gateway # is blank . what i did was pop it in a friends iphone and type **5005*7672*61411990001#
(61411990001 is optus smsc # yours may be different)
then i put it back in my vibrant and viola!
altho i still cant send or recieve mms..

Glad to great it's slowly getting resolved. If you don't have an apn, click on automatic network discovery in mobile settings and it will automatically generate the correct apn for your carrier. Keep me posted because this it's relatively easy to resolve so don't stress

Hey
Im on Orange UK And updated to froyo using the reg hack.
But now i cannot send Picture messages,
Iv tried manually entering the APN details many many times but the pictures just sit on sending, iv tried another sim card and its exactly the same.
Anyone have any ideas??
Check your APN settings - for some reason mine disappeared! If there's nothing showing hit menu and restore default. Then reboot your device.

Thanks for the suggestion, but still no joy
Solution?
I fixed this using Samsung's very useful set up page. Allows you to get settings sent to your phone for free, on any UK network.

I have just bought a brand new (unlocked) Dell Venue Pro. It had Windows phone 7.5 pre installed and I have installed all the updates. After I finished setting up my account and settings, checked the marketplace... I tryed to send an SMS - and got a nasty suprise. The phone won't send any SMS messages to anyone. It receives them OK, it can make calls, use data connection and everything but it won't send a damn SMS. When I go to the messaging settings, the messaging center number isn't there. When I enter it and tap save, the field just goes blank again. I have tryed rebooting the phone and reseting it from the about menu but it still won't send an SMS.
So I tryed a different SIM card (the same provider) and here the message center number was entered and the SMS was sen't successfully. So why won't it work with my SIM card?
Settings - > cellular -> edit apn
Set your apn info from your provider.
Also next time search the forums first. There are already a few threads about this
I think that you need to read my question again. NOT MMS! I have trouble sending SMS messages. And those don't need the APN - which is set and the mobile internet is working.
I've seen SMS get screwed up when the MMS settings arent set. The only other possibility is that you need some AT commands sent from your phone.
I have just tried the logical step - I sen't an MMS. The MMS was sent without any problems and was delivered to the other phone. But the damn thing still won't send a bloody SMS.
Call your provider up and have them activate sms on your sim card.
I don't see any reason why they should be deactivated. If I stick my SIM card into my old Motorola Milestone I can normalny send SMS messages.
Well I fixed it. It took a little bit of magic but it is working now.
I took the SIM card out and inserted it into a cheap samsung dumbphone and changed the SMS centre number to an incorrect one (if I entered the correct number it didn't show up), then I inserted it back into the Dell and the incorrect number was shown in the settings. So I changed it into a correct one and this time it remembered the number. So everything is working now.
I have same issue
I tried the SIM trick, I did manage to change the number in a dumbphone, but I still could not read or change the message center number in the DVP. I just did the latest update through zune yesterday, but that had no positive effect.
Any other suggestions? Maybe a hard reset?
alright so im on the echo rom Via the verizon pf2 firmware. Selected sprint during the setup process. I have voice and messaging working. i edited the build props.... still no data. any advice anyone?
google your service providers apn settings and enter them in and if that didnt work after you did what was said i would go back and redo everything and slow down to make sure i did it all in order etc, sometimes a second run through will make it work
i hve them. the keybord im using now is messed up. some letters nd shift key re out.. i will type them up on something else nd post themwen i get min.
My experience is actually kind of strange. When I rooted my phone I actually lost the ability to edit APN. It does not show up anywhere in my phone. I had to edit the build.prop to get it working right. My messaging works but not picture messages which sucks. So I use a messaging app called 8sms and it fixes all my APN issues.
verified my apn settings but text messages wont go through.
calls are all fine - lte data service too is fine.
any ideas?

Had that happen to me. Goto Messages App. Top right settings, then More Settings, Then text messages, then Message center. Make sure theres a phone number there. Thats the ATT phone number for text. If you dont add this +13123149810 you must have the + sign also. Hope that helps

My calls are not good at all. It would be on 4G then drop back down to edge to make a call.

Ya that happened to me as well. Just went missing. Thats how i found out the missing number. Was comparing all my settings to my daughters s7 edge.
Similar thing happened to me, I was receiving text messages ok, but could not send them out. The AT&T number at the message center was there correctly. (+3123149810) If it happens to you, go to your APN settings and make sure all MMS Port numbers are input correctly, mine were missing, for some strange reason. All good now.
