Go to your phone settings > network & internet > mobile network > access point names > tap on n.ispsn then you can edit any name fields.
Before exit out, tap on the 3 dot settings at the top right corner to save your settings then your phone will automatically update your apn setup.

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.
http://www.samsungmobile.co.uk/support/configure-phone-setting-mms.do?phone_model=GT-I9000
I did a search, but found no answers. I can receive text messages with pictures just fine, but if I try to send them, I get the "failed after several attempts" and the message just sits there with the envelope and clock icon in the upper right corner. I tried through the default messaging app, and through ChompSMS. Is anyone else having a problem sending pictures through text messages?
You need to find your carriers APN settings and enter them correctly in the phones settings:
Settings > Wireless & networks > mobile networks > Access Point Name

Thanks for replying. I'll try that. I did check the settings, and there is a default one there with no mms info. I checked my nexus one, and I don't have any apn settings at all, but mms works. Do you think if I delete the one that's there it would work by auto detecting setting? Maybe that's why my n1 works, and my DHD doesn't?
Delete ALL APN's on your DHD and then re-add them manually, then you can be 100% sure they're all correct, if it still doesn't work then contact your carrier and see what's going on.
SOLVED!
WOW! It took me six hours, but I figured it out. I tried so many things I can't even remember. Deleted all, add three at once, modified things. The end result was still no sending of MMS. My last try I reset everything back to default, and I was checking all fields, and noticed the "MMSC" field said "null". Well from looking over so many different configurations I noticed almost all of them showed the MMSC had "mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc", so out of desperation I changed "null" to that, and BOOM, it worked. I now have all things working like they should. Thanks for your help.
( glad you sorted it.

Hi there, in my new s7 edge,
when i was trying to send a premium sms text,
it said "do u want to send? YES NO" and bellow there was an option like "always remember".
i wanted to press YES and always remeber, but i accidentaly pressed NO and "always remember".
now there is nowhere i can find the spot to reset it back and i cant send that sms...
its not an ISP issue as when i try the same SIM to another phone, it sends it without problems...

I had the same issue and I had to factory reset because I couldn't find it anywhere. Very fristra5

I am having the same issue. This is absolute garbage that this cannot be reset. I do not want to hard reset my phone to fix this. It takes me hours to get all my apps back in place and everything logged in. If Samsung's back up saved where my apps go and how I like things customized I'd be a little more reluctant. There has to be somewhere in the phone to fix this Short code texting.
People with high Wi-Fi drain try this:
Backup and Reset -> Reset Network Settings
This will only reset WiFi password and Bluetooth and it did had a positive impact for me.
Not sure what Wifi drain has to do with this topic...
Default app manager pro can clear default apps and bring back the open with menu. Pretty sure the lite version can do this too.
Nope no defaults set anywhere
Has anyone found a solution except for factory reset?
Just curious what's premium SMS? Compared to a regular SMS?

It's an sms sent to a phone number to approve a charge. Kinda like a 900 call.
I was replying to something like a redbox message - STOP, HELP, YES. Since I accidently hit "no", whenever I respond, the message FAILS

Still not working
None of these solutions work. I've ready that it's a marshmellow thing.
Can't you just long press the messaging app from the app drawer and go to app info and clear data and cache to reset it?

You could try settings > application manager > more > reset app preferences
Try this:
Settings > Application Manager > Find the app (most likely it would be Messages > Storage > Let it compute (which can take some time) > then CLEAR DATA. This might delete all your texts though (not 100% sure since I haven't tried)
Go to Settings / Applications / App Manager, scroll to the SMS app (Messages is the default SMS app), tap the app, tap Set as default, tap Clear Defaults.
That should do it. This is how you clear defaults for every app.
I just did the same thing. I bought my S7 today. But there is no premium sms setting in the phone. And I do not want to reset my phone. I gave my 3 hours for it
Any chance that this is under App Permissions? Ir simply install Google Messenger.
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!
