Just so others can help properly it's worth checking that your text messages are not being received despite the message. For a while I got the message cannot be sent messages but in fact they were being sent!

Oooooh! Not good, hope you they were not sent I ended up with repeated messages sent all over the place. Maybe you could check by sending message to yourself.
Mike

well...i sent msg to myself and it works fine, saying "message successfully sent" but all other numbers it still wont go.

i don't think you can send an sms from sb to docomo. isn't she using docomo?

I see a reply from qtotter which I don't follow but may well make sense to you. Just in case qtotter does not have the explanation the following may help.
When I had the problem I began to notice that some numbers worked and some did not according to the message sent pop up. (as I said before all were actually being sent).
In my case it turned out to be to do with whether the numbers were on SIM on Phone or had been imported from SIM. As an experiment you could try re entering one of the numbers that appears not to work and saving it. Then try it again, if it's the same as the problem I had you may find the same number now works. Worth a try?
Mike

i guess what qtotter meant was that SMS in Japan is only possible between Softbank(Vodafone) and AU. Docomo doesnt support SMS...
For the x01th (hermes), it is the only phone in Japan without a proper email address connected to the carrier ( at least to my knowledge, maybe Willcom`s awesome W-Zero series has no email...dont know)
About the issue with the sms...i will look into the contact list/ sim issue.
Guess i will send some SMS and Cmails (AU) around.
Thanks for the tipp....

sorry, i missed a word in my previous comment. i remember docomo supports sms, but only among docomo users.

it's more like there is no way to get an address with x01th and use it on x01th by default. firstly, if you put your sim into another sb phone and go to Y!, you can get an account. secondly, if you install an mms client in x01th and set up vodafone/softbank mms setting, you can actually use mms on it. there is still some problem which happens once in awhile, but it works most of the time.
by the way, zero3 comes with an email address.

hutchinson 3G sms settings

as per title above, does anyone know the 3 network sms settings for xda orbit 2? im using bepes opera edition.

I am on hutchingson 3g. Just use the HTC connection setup wizard tool it works fine.
Then if you want to go further edit your browser ID to nokia N95 and you can access all the 3 video content etc

Seems like the sms message centre number has changed - it should be: +447782000800
I cant seem to find were to change the number though, hope someone else can help?

someone must know, help help!

someone must know, i tried calling three, but the indian call centre, suggested i go to a three store. thats miles away

have you checked your sms service center number.
Go to settings then phone. Then services. The voicemail and text messages. Click get settings and let us know what service number you have in

This is the number already in the settings +447782000800. So everything should work, but it doesnt.
So all you dont have any problems sending text using 3 network?
Why is mine like this

i found the problem. after 3 months of no ability to text, numerous calls to the indian call centre, and countless hours on the forums looking for the answer. heres what fixed mine:
under advanced network settings i changed the sms txt to GSM rather than GPRS.
so simple in the end, a big thanks to all who have previously tried to help me. I holpe this may help others out there who might have the same problem.
im off to send some txt to my friends now haha

Incoming calls go directly to my mailbox

hey guys,
i just got aware of an issue here. installed xylon v15 und faux kernel and set up everything so far. now im getting hints of my friends, that if they're trying to call me, they go directly to my voicemail.
dont know if sth went wrong with the change to my new micro-sim-card (had a mini-sim before) but i need to fix this asap.
but in custom roms, there is no call setting menu, so how can i fix this!?
thank you so much!!!
btw. outgoing calls function well.

They probably didn't activate it yet, happens regularly. Call your provider & check.
Edit; just saw that outgoing works. Still, call them, maybe some setting is borked.
If not try a different kernel, try Trinity for example.

hm. just calling them.
but how can i access those stock call settings?
wondering why no one misses them. i appreciate options like not sending my number in special cases.

Don't think you can. I mean a setting from their side. Can happen.

Make a backup and try a different rom, alternatively reflash your rom & gapps and see if that works.

? there is no such a setting in my settings menu.
i called the provider. he gave me some codes to typ in and call so that a possible call forwarding is disabled. and it worked. apparently they did a general forwarding to my card when the sim was changed. for whatever..
##21# disable general fw
##61# " fw when you're not answering
##62# " fw when busy
##67# " fw when phone is off
dont forget to call these codes afterwards.

So my assumption was right, good to know!
P.S. what he means with phone is the actual phone app, go in to that.

I've had some issues like this as well where I would get a voicemail notification, but my phone would never ring. Not sure why it happens. Most likely due to custom ROM/Kernel

cant send/receive texts on att?

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.

sms issues sprint?

Is anyone else having issues receiving SMS and MMS on Sprint network. I also purchased me phone from Sprint. I am currently on software NMJ32F. I have reset network settings, and factory reset. I have updated PRL and Profile. I have pulled the Sim and reseated it. I have done everything I can think of any suggestions? Phone calls work perfectly fine. Just receiving messages is not working. Data works fine.

I have Sprint but the device is an unlocked model. Haven't had any issues but I'd say you've done everything you can. Take it to a Sprint store and make a stink until they replace the device.

That is the weird thing. I have texted myself and it works. I guess i should have added that this is happening for me for all non sprint friends and family. if they have sprint everything is okay just not if they are with another carrier.

Sprint is having texting problems with this phone and has acknowledged it. They have identified the problem and testing a fix.
The problem identified is repeatedly receiving the same text and not receiving newer ones. If you aren't receiving anything at all, I'd get in touch with support. It could be a provisioning problem.

I've been having this problem, especially not receiving mms messages and duplicate sms messages. They periodically get stuck, and the only way to fix is to get on a chat with support and have them refresh my network connection with the phone off and send a text message. I use Google voice so I can see sms messages in the voice app but know if something is wrong if I don't get a message in the messaging app.

I updated my APN and preferred network and everything is working fine since. No more repeated/delayed sms or hanging mms.

Go to phone settings>mobile network>APN settings then pick the one (or any) that you want. Open it up then tap on any name fields that you want to edit, change it as you wish. After you edited all the name fields tap on the 3 dot at the top right corner then choose save, and exit out. Make sure you check/select the APN you just edited.

I'm with Sprint too and my settings may or may not working for you because of the location differences but you can try... You never know!
