Hi all,
after hitting *#*#4636#*#*
i am unable to retrieve the SMSC nor update the number keyed in.
for example singapore singtel: +6596197777
After i click on update it gives me update error.
Does not matter which rom nor radio i use it all wont work.
Can help?
Are you not receiving any SMS? Why are you trying to modify this? When I was on Starhub and my girlfriend on Singtel we never had any SMS issues. Are you trying to forward them elsewhere?

i am trying to send sms but unable to so i went to update the SMSC using the numbers given by singtel.
The problem is that i can recieve sms but not able to send them.
Phone is unlocked, rooted and flashed with cm 2.3.4 kanged.
That is quite odd we never had any issues like that on my nexus one or either of our nexus s phones while we were there. Our nexus s phones were stock but my nexus one was constantly having new roms flashed on it and never experinced that on Singtel or Starhub. Have you tried wiping the phone and reinstalling your rom?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
yes done all that, and mixed and match different radios and roms to test but to no avail.
Have you flashed a stock backup image? One that isn't rooted? Did you have any of these problems before rooting? After rooting? Was it only after you started flashing roms?

Call tour service provider and have your SIM repushed
Sent from my Nexus S
sim card was reset by singtel (Telco)
Rom was flash with stock, cm7 etc etc all types of radio
The only solution left is to update it with another SIM card
I had a similar problem a few weeks ago and I solved it by *#*#4636#*#*, phone information, press menu button, select radio band. Select the one that should be good for you then re-enter your smsc number and it might work.

The reason why it doesn't hold is that you cannot enter and save the number as +xxxzxxxhhff. You have to convert it to a smsc + pdu format.
Google it up.
An alternative would be to put the sim card in an old phone (non smart phone) and change the centre number there, save it and transfer back the sim in your phone.

Right before you posted that i did that.
Problem solved
SIM card missing SMSC number. Place into old phone(non-smart phone) or another phone and input SMSC number then place SIM card back to NS. Done!
Thanks for the help
I realised after keying in ur smsc number via another phone. I powered back my nexus s again and went into *#*#4636#*#* it still shows up as blank.
In the nexus s, to enter smsc number, you first have to convert it to pdu format.

Thx for ur hint @ deeren.
Hah, i managed to fix my SMS problem with ur hint.
I tried to update my SMSC for Orange Switzerland using +41787777070
Phone crashed on updating.
Then i converted the number using this page into PDC format.
AT+CMGW=17
07911487777770F011000091sasdda0000AA00000000000000
Updated the SMSC using 07911487777770F0 and voilà, im able to send SMS again
Btw, maybe there is a better page/tool to convert the SMSC number into PDU, cause the link i found converts the whole stuff and not just the smsc. And therefore u have to snip the correct hex-nums out of the complete string.
//update: its quite easy to snip the exact numbers out of the whole string.
First Number = Length of SMSC Info -> In my Case 07 -> SMSC has a length of 7
07911487777770F0[/B]11000
7 Hexdups -> 91 14 87 77 77 70 F0
Complete SMSC PDU => LengthInfo + NumOfHexdups
Update2:
@rallos, for +6596197777 it SHOULD be
0691566991777711000091sasdda0000AA00
Means: Enter 06915669917777 as your SMSC number
Code:
0691566991777711000091sasdda0000AA00
nn112233445566
nn=length of smsc=06
11=1st hex=91
22=2nd hex=56
33=3rd hex=69
44=4rd hex=91
55=5rd hex=77
66=6th hex=77
Results in 06915669917777

This has bitten me too previously, why is the NS's SMSC number in a different format? I know SGS we can enter the number straight as it is in the same screen.
Try Go SMS Pro
I have been struggling and struggling to change the SMSC on my G2X CM7.1 using *#*#4636#*#* to no avail. I kept getting "update error". I could not send sms. I can change the number using the Go SMS Pro in the settings and now I can send sms.

Switch the sim to an older android phone, #*#*4636*#*# then went to phone information , clicked refreshed, then put the sim back in my phone and that solved the issue. Thanks a lot! I have been looking for solution all afternoon.
This is the cure. It works

This works for me. I used a old nokia phone. I've found the fix after years of searching. Relief!

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 think this is kernel related, I did a search and found no answer...does anyone know where to look or how to change this so that my number shows? The reason I'm looking for this fix is that some apps required it..thanks for your help
...thanks to wolfpack612
Under WM, go to sim manager from your contacts, most roms have it cook in but if yours doesn't, just do a little search and you will find a cab.
...once under sim manager go to tools and from there you will be able to input your number..
...save changes
...reload android, go to settings and verified that your number appears under my number. If is there it lucky, but if it does not show
...delete data under your android folder and start fresh this will solve that issue.
Once aging thanks to wolfpack612

I have the same problem. I got a temporary number for a day waiting for my number to get ported over, and now under settings it shows that number. So for apps like tikl I have to use that stupid number. It might something the carrier can change I'm just too lazy to deal with them about it.

As the subject indicates i have ****ed up the smsc number in phonetester. I got 3 denmark as operator and one of my friends who also got 3 have told me that the smsc number should say:" +4531300000" but when i type it in it just erase it self, and when i touch the refresh button the number automatic changes to 00 or says refresh error, what am i doing wrong?

I don't think you can correct that SMSC using your Nexus S.
I was in the same situation. There is nothing you can do.
If you search the internet, you will find quite some reports. Certainly, this is Android bug or limitation (which cannot change SMSC in that format).
So, dont panic
Get an old phone like Nokia or Windows Mobile or even an iPhone. Change the SMSC there and put back in your Nexus S.
That's it!
Whoala, it should work!
I did that with my old Win Mo device.

yes you can.
to update the SMSC in android,
the number first need to be encoded
please use below url to encode the SMSC
http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode
for example, if your SMSC is number is +4531300000,
after encode, it is 0691541303000011
put this in the info page, and it will work.

Many thanks for this info. My SMSC is now configured again.
To all who are curious:
Type in the SMSC number into the converter (no need for any message) and copy the first several digits until and including the "11". Android will cut this number down to a number without the "11" on the update process, so don't be surprised. Afterwards it should work again.
Insert another Sim Card with same provider to your device --> Write the SMSC --> Insert your Sim Card --> Update your SMSC with SMSC that has you writted
Hope it's help
Sorry for bad english
This thread saved my day. For those on Koodo the SMSC is +16475800172 and once converted is 07916174850071F211.

Hi, i found your thread because i can't update my smsc error number. My provider (who is spanish) give me a number but when i try to update it on my pixel 2 xl it appears update error.
i try to understand your thread but i don't understand what number i have to take and where i should put it. If someone can help me that would be lovely because even my own provider have poor advices.
I know how to access to the interface to update the number but i don't know how to do it. I tried with an other phone a bluboo, but as i understand from your thread it could be too recent to update it correctly ?
Here my smsc number +34622996111, if someone can help me, it will be awesome,
many thanks
This is how we enter the Message Center / SMSC number in the CM7 build ( as the messaging app doesnt allow us to update the sms number )
First Search for your SMS center number from Google
The go to the following link : http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode
Towards the center there is a section which has Sender reciever and message on the righthandside, now enter your message center number including the + ( ex - +919845087001 ) leave the reciever and the message blank and hit convert.
Now the first 16 digits is SMSC number, note that and follow the steps below on your android phones
Here you are:
1. Go to Phone Dialer, and press: *#*#4636#*#*
2. Select Phone information
3. Scroll down to bottom of the screen, you'll see the field for SMSC setting.
4. [Optional] Click Refresh to see current SMSC number.
5. Change the SMSC number as you want. Then, click Update

I was in a similar situation as somehow my SMSC number was updated to 00 and my SMSs were not getting delivered. Followed the steps from the OP and now all is well
This solution worked for me the best:
Code:
AT+CSCA="+380910440601",145
OK
AT+CSCA?
+CSCA: "+380910440601", 145
OK
The manual for +CSCA command is easily googlable. (can't post actual link because of spam protection)
I could only receive sms and not send. I am glad I found this thread. Followed the instructions from first post exactly and all is well again, and now I know what the smsc setting is for and to not delete it

Try using quotes.
Source: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/SMSC_Updates#Updating_your_Phone.2FTablet
Or you can try entering your SMSC number through an older phone. Ex: in my s3 i wasn't able to change the number neither from messaging app nor *#*#4636#*#*. So i put my sim card in my older phone (nokia 6131) and tried to send a message and then a popup appeared requesting to type that center number (without quotes) and it was confirmed correctly, sending the message after that.

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
