Post some pics from your phone with the text messages... I can't really say what they are, unless someone is sending you anonymous text messages?

I had this for a while (also on Orange, stock ROM) and did manage to get rid of it - problem is I can't remember exactly what I did as fiddling around so much!
I think it had something to do with a missed call or voicemail message. Try deleting an entry (or entries) from the call history with a similar time stamp to the sms message.

A further thought - using the built in message app (not handcent etc) press menu - settings - Manage SIM card messages and delete from there.
One of these methods sorted it out for me but this was weeks ago...

Hi folks.
I get these Anonymous texts whenever I have a voicemail (on Orange UK, generic HTC ROM). I think that when you get a voicemail, the signal from Orange to say that you've got voicemail comes as this anonymous text and lands on your SIM (and triggers the voicemail icon on your notification bar).
I'd delete this text only to find it reappear every time I restart my device. The only way to get rid of it permanently is (as AjUK said), go to Messages>>Settings>>Manage SIM Messages and delete it from there.
I guess turning off Voicemail notifications would sort it, but I'd rather have them and live with the hassle.

It's literally just a text with an 'Anonymous' number but it doesn't have any text. Usually get them after flashing a new rom.

Cricket MMS help

Ok so my droidx is flashed to cricket and it does everything pretty good. Talk/web/sms/market but incoming or outgoing mms not working. Every message i send i instantly get a "No national access coverage" error. same with incoming mms. I have tried with the stock txt app and handcent. I have pushed the autostart and the u2nl files. tried the apns from anycut with all the cricket settings. Tried the ##program menu and changing the upload to 111111. I am at a total loss at what else to try. would love to get the mms working to complete this phone flash. Could it just be cricket blocking it? Had mms working on my droid 1 a few months back. any help would be great maybe i missed something. Also i am on the
$45 plan could it be i need to be on the droid plan?
You guys rock here with solutions hope you can help!
Edit:
OK phone d/l the new ota update and after re-rooting and flashing new fission i can now recieve MMS pics. I cant send them though just says sending and never moves

Have you ever had any luck sending any sort of rich message, previously?

only regular sms messages worked. No pic or vid message have worked since i have had the phone. Always says no national access coverage error.

Has the mms info been changed completely to Cricket's details?

[Q] straight talk tmobile mms not functioning

I've used the search function and tried many different suggested APN settings to no avail.
I'm on straighttalk/tmobile, running stock non-rooted 4.3 rom. Since the 4.2 OTA update -a month/6weeks ago?- I have not been able to send photos through text messaging. I receive them no problems, just cant send.
Now when I attempt to send a photo with the messaging app I get the following message: "can't send message right now. Too many unsent muti-media messages."
I'd like to find a work around, since switching to Tmobile directly will cost $10 a month more at the minimum.
Thanks guys!

My wife's gs3 is having MMS and data issues as well, st tmobile sim

Weird MMS Problem

Initial Notes:
Using a rooted Verizon S5 with stock KitKat ROM (NK2), but this problem also persisted on a rooted Lollipop ROM (OA8).
This problem persists on the stock messaging app as well as all messaging apps I have downloaded from the Play Store so it seems to be an issue with the phone itself. I'm currently using Chomp.
------------------------------------------------------
Problem:
For the longest time, my MMS messages would come and go at what seemed to be the most random times, but I've finally come to notice that the only way I can get an MMS (including group texts) to send or receive is if I send more than 1 at a time.
For example, if I try to send my wife a single pic, it will hang indefinitely, literally for days sometimes. However, if I send another pic to ANYONE (including myself), the pic that was 'stuck' waiting to send to my wife will then finally send.
Also, if I long-press the stuck outgoing MMS, and choose 'resend' it will usually send, but then the recipient also gets 2 copies.
I've also noticed that when the stuck MMS finally does send, I frequently RECEIVE multiple pics or group messages from friends who sent them long ago. It's as if successfully sending an MMS from my phone has somehow unlocked a stuck setting somewhere in the network, which then allows all existing MMS to send/receive.
Also, I've noticed that if I attempt to send 3 pic messages, sometimes only 2 will actually go through. If I want to send the 3rd, I have to generate a 4th pic message also to any recipient. I've gotten to the point where I just decide in order to make MMS work, I have to do one of the following:
- Send 2 pics to the intended recipient
- Send 1 pic to recipient, and then forward that same message to myself.
- Send 1 pic to recipient, and then also forward it to someone else.
So I have come to learn that I do have a work-around of sorts, but it's incredibly inconvenient, and just flat-out weird to me. So it's obvious my MMS can work on this phone, but why do I have to send them in pairs?

Concatenated SMS

Hello,
I really like my G4 Play (Amazon edition) phone with one exception. I only receive a portion of Concatenated (greater than 160 characters) SMS messages that are sent from T-mobile Iphones to my phone (also on T-mobile). I will get some, but not all. I have used my SIM in other android phones and have another T-mobile SIM in my phone and I get the same issue. From iphones from other carriers I have no problems. From Androids on T-mobile, I also have no problems. I have no problem receiving single SMS messages nor MMS messages. I have contacted T-mobile and they have been no help. I have changed some APN settings, but with no success.
I have also restored my phone to factory settings and have tried Textra also. No changes.
My question: Has anyone had any issues with concatenated SMS messages?
I am thinking about getting a replacement phone, but don't want to if this happens on a replacement phone or if there is a known fix.
Thanks.

What sms did you recieve???

I appreciate the response, but I'm not sure I understand your question.
I receive properly all SMS that are < 160 characters.
For SMS messages that are > 160 characters:
1) I will sometimes receive these and sometimes not receive these when they are from an iphone on the T-mobile network (I am also on the T-mobile network)
2) I will receive all of the the >160 SMS if:
a) they are on any other network regardless of the type of phone
b) they are on an android and on the T-mobile network​
Did that answer your question?

160+ character text messages are sent as mms. try sending/receiving a picture and see what happens.

MMS messages work just fine. When my wife puts in a subject field, the long messages are turned into a MMS and always get to me.
For long SMS info see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concatenated_SMS

I have worked with T-mobile and Moto with no luck. Moto sent me a new phone (Amazon version of XT1607). I still have the same issue with not receiving long SMS messages (>160 characters) from iphones on T-mobile. These long SMS messages are concatenated SMS messages and are not MMS messages.
I'm sure that there is another Amazon G4 play person who is on Tmobile and has a Tmobile friend who can send them 5 long SMS messages to see how many get through to him/her. Can someone please try this? I have tried other SIM cards in it from my family and the same thing happens. It would be nice to see if someone else has the same issue!
I don't know what I can do but wait for the Nougat release in June. If I had know this would be an issue I wouldn't have bought the Amazon version and I could have installed another ROM.
