Hello,
I recently bought a Samsung S6 Edge+ from a person who was using it on Telus.
I paid and had the phone unlocked.
I can call out and receive voice calls...I can also receive tests, but cannot send text.. when I go to Messages...settings...more settings...text messages.....the Message center option is there saying "not set", but the option to press and change the number is greyed out.
I know the number I need to put there is +17057969300 for Rogers...but it will not allow me to change.
I read where I could change it by entering *#4636#*#* and so forth, but typing *#4636#*#* in my keypad does nothing.
Does anyone know how I can correct this.....my nearest Rogers store is 2 hrs away.
Going to download and try installing the Roger Stock ROM using Odin and Rogers Stock FW at Sammobile.
Thanks

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.
It is a unlock 16G T-Mobile. I am using AT&T carrier. Everything is OK but cannot send or receive text message. I have tried to flash different roms but none of them are help. My sim card is OK as I test in another cell phone.
Any hint? This is really frustrating me.
Hey,
See to it that you change the SMS Centre number. Go to messages > settings > SMS Centre number and fill out "+19078319301". If that does not work, try "+13123149810".
Hope this helps you.
Hello All,
Need Some Help. I am using Verizon Galaxy S5 in India. I am on Global Mode with Data Enabled. I am able to use Internet / Calls and everything else. The issue that I have is that I am not able to send out text messages / SMS messages. I tried through Hangouts and Samsung Messaging as well, but none works. I am able to receive messages but not send. The only way it works is that if put in the phone number directly without the country code.
For eg:,
If I want to send a text to 9800000001 then I can send only if I put in the number manually in the text message send menu. If I have that number stored in my phonebook with the country code +919800000001 then it is not sent. I cant update my entire phonebook to remove the country code from the numbers. So basically I cannot reply back to text messages received too as they come with the country code.
Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 - NHA Build - Rooted - Stock ROM.
TIA.

This is something that has been happening with all builds of 5.0. I believe it was fixed with 5.0.1 or will be with 5.0.2?

It seems there is no such build !

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900V/ acording to Sammobile there is no Build 5.0.1 , is there ?
I've also had this problem using my S5 on straight talk's lte network, which piggybacks off of verizon. The only 5.0 rom that works for me is the international version, but it's not a very good rom otherwise. I'd really like to use MOAR but not being able to send sms is a pretty big problem.
I had the same problem with my Verizon Galaxy S5 in Albania.
I could not send SMS if the number started with +355 (355 is Albania country code)
and all incoming SMS had the country code so it was really frustrating.
After 2 weeks of searching for a solution i found it in androidcentral
can't post the outside link so here is the solution.
It is simple, go to phone dialer > Settings > Call > Assisted dialing
Inside assisted dialing where it say Reference country select your country.
than edit Country code by adding a + in front of the number there.
You are done just don't forget to turn Assisted dialing On.
Thanks
Thanks Man. You really saved my day! No more unsent messages because of this reference country.

Hello all,
I have a Verizon Galaxy S5 on TING on the GSM network. It's rooted with Safe Strap installed.
My one and only problem right now is that I cannot edit the button #1 speed dial from *86 to anything else. It is interfering with my voicemail notifications.
I can add my own number to #2 and speed dial into and access voicemail just fine. I can go into the settings, edit #1 speed dial, change the *86 to whatever,and it says the change has been saved...but it isn't. It remains *86.
Any ideas on how I can edit this sucker? lol I have root, so I could crawl deep into a system file and edit it if need be.
Thanks in advance
I've been trying to figure this out too
i have an unlocked verizon s5 with simple mobile service
if i put in a verizon or tmobile sim card in, im able to edit the voicemail number and it saves, but when i stick my simple mobile sim in the phone it goes back to *86 (which is not simple mobiles vm number), it says it changed and saves but doesnt as the OP described
I tried looking through some files to see if its hard coded somewhere but was unable to find it
any help on this topic would be much appreciated
No one has any ideas or suggestions?
There must be some hack that can be done?
Update
I got my vmail number changed. I'm not sure how but it saved. All I really did was install Google voice then saved that as my voicemail service. I then dialed I think it was *72 for call forwarding then disabled it with *73 I then tried to switch back to my carrier vmail and it just hung on some loading icon. I forced closed opened settings again and my carrier vmail was selected. I tried going back to Google voice and if said failed forwarding. I then tried again. Same error. I then went and tried to change the voicemail number to a contact named voicemail with my number and sure enough it stuck even after a reboot and holding 1 on the dial pad now calls my voicemail instead of *86
I have the same problem. I tried to change it to T-Mobile's 123 to no avail. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Interesting. Congrats on getting lucky. I'll have to try this and mess around a bit this weekend if I have time.
I have the same issue.... I read somewhere you have to update to 5.1, it's just bug of the system. Maybe I am wrong, but anyway somewhere in files it should keep this *86 number.....
BUT when I put inactive sim-card from T-Mobile, I COULD change the number and COULD saved it, when switch again to Simple Mobile(my carrier), the problem came back... again *86
You will need to change in the Phone menu settings for Voicemail, not the voicemail contact. Go to the Phone screen, select menu and then Settings, go to Voicemail settings and update the Voicemail number to be *86,XXXXX# where XXXXX represents your VM password and Save.
Hi, I'm using a G935T which is already unlocked, and I have no problem using it in Singapore with local network. However, the sms center number is incorrect and the phone prohibits me change it. I can find it in sms settings, but I cannot modify it.
The official doc simply says I cannot change it. (url not permitted for newbies and here's what they say):
To add or change the SMS service center number, follow these steps:
Note: We're sorry, but you cannot change the service center number. Follow the below steps to view the current number.
From any Home screen, tap Messages.
Tap the MORE icon.
Tap Settings.
Tap More settings.
Tap Text messages.
View the number under Message center.
Without that being properly set, I can only using calls and receive sms, but never send any.
I'm using the official firmware.
Anyone get an idea on this? many thanks.
I believe the same problem happens in G930T
