SMS Error 3
Hi! Lately, 70% of my text messages show a red X beside them - normally meaning it did not send. More often than not, I'm finding the recipient DID recieve them, but I still show a red x.
When I open the "failed" message, it shows "SMS Error 3, Message ID XX"
Any thoughts? I always have a good signal, have never had this problem before - it only started happening in the last couple of weeks.
Some more parameters are missing like, Delivery Report, Validity Period, Sent As, Data Coding, Service Center, Leave Messages on SIM Card, Network to Send Over, Retries. I think you need to reinstall the device OS again.

SMS error 3 on nearly every text. Possibly due to other company towers?
Carrier: South Central Communications
Blackberry 8530
v5.0.0.395 (platform 4.2.0.167) <<< I think that's what I'm supposed to be posting. I've never done this before
How do I find free space? The only apps I've installed are MSN messenger & Facebook, and neither one has ever worked for me.
I've removed the battery & done other resets, internet cache clean etc.
I would like to start by saying I know this question has been asked, however, none of the threads I've found by searching have any information that I found at all useful. If I missed one, please, point it out.
Wednesday, January 5, when I got home from work (around 6:30pm local time), my texts stopped sending reliably. I get the SMS error 3 on nearly every one, and I stopped receiving texts as well. I can make calls, but they tend to drop.
When I went upstairs (lower level of my home is half underground, windows @ ground level), my texts started sending more reliably. I assumed the usually poor signal in the lower level was just worse than usual. I have gotten the error message sporadically in the past. I was not able to send or receive any texts until the next morning, when they started working again almost as usual. I had my usual 0-2 bars displaying throughout this, did not think to check signal strength in dbm.
Thursday evening (last night) as the evening went on, my texts started going through less and less frequently. Around 11pm local time, they just stopped altogether again. Going upstairs did NOT help at this point. This morning, I am able to send and receive occasional texts, though the majority of the time I still get the error.
My signal strength was -106dbm when I first started looking for answers (about an hour ago) and is -91 now, all texts still failing. I'm @ work today and my signal is usually crappy here, except when I'm roaming, but I'm usually able to text just fine.
I also occasionally notice I'm roaming when I'm home in the lower level.
I know that at the first of this year, AT&T was taking over the local towers that once belonged to AllTel. Could this switchover be the cause of my diminished capability? I really hope not, I hope it's something I can fix myself. On the other hand, if it's just because they're working on the towers and I have such poor signal that I fail to get any signal at all when they're working on it, it will likely resolve when they're done, correct?
Please offer any information that might be relevant.
I'll gladly read any article or forum I'm directed to, there's just such an abundance of information available I do not know where to begin. I am a very beginning user. I was supposed to have my data plan hooked up almost a month ago but I keep forgetting to go back in. They had to get some data key to install on my phone so that it would work.
I've only had this phone a couple months and this is the first time I've ever really had an issue with it, besides my calls not going through because it was set to the wrong country code initially.
Thank you for your time.
EDIT: Just set my phone to "home only" We'll see if that nixes the problem If it does, I can just blame AT&Ttonimarieeubank wrote:

Please refrain from hi-jacking another individuals thread for issues totally irrelevant to the OP's issue. This is considered rude and unacceptable.
Please create a new thread, in the forum appropriate to your model telephone, for the issue you're experiencing. You'll stand a much better chance of getting an answer that will resolve your issue.

I got my new Droid DNA yesterday (bought it online through amazon.com). The activation and set up went fine but I can't send/receive any SMS. It gives me an SMS error: service not available, cause code: 97, error class: 2
Anybody know how to fix this?I got it fixed! I called customer service and somehow there was a "message block" added to my account. The verizon rep I spoke to was able to remove that and it fixed the issue!

Every time I send a message for the last two days an error message window comes up saying:
Unexpected end tag: expected “b”, actual “font”
Please advise how I could have the necessary support on this issue.It actually isn't an SMS error message, what it is has to do with the ability to undo typing within the SMS message. If you have shaken the phone, or moved it some between two different axis, since I believe it uses the accelerometer to activate, it will prompt you to undo typing. If you haven't typed anything, then you will see the message you describe. However, if you are getting this message popup without moving your phone, there is something else going on. Have you tried to reset your phone, hold the sleep/wake button and the home button together until you see the Apple logo and then release. Ignore the slide to power off screen. That will reset the phone, but will not affect any data.
Apple will not respond to messages here, and since that action is something designed in the OS, there wouldn't be a reason to fix it. -

Thanks for the input!
In fact the text messaging issues outlined in the original post will require a verification of the account provisioning and this can only be done by phone with a Technical Support representative.

Re: SMS error 3 on Verizon
This seems to be a transport error. This problem is caused if there is congestion on the cell network. I searched it on Verizon and I found no information about this error on Verizon. You should talk to your service provider and see what they can help you. They will give you the exact reason behind the issue and the timeline for the issue.
This may direct you to a solution if the solution isnt already listed.. -

The search box on top-right of this page is your true friend, and the public Knowledge Base too: -
Anybody can help to solve this problem. Unable to send SMS - SMS error. Have tried everything including network reset, phone reboot etc. Receive function is OK.
I had the same problem and tried all of At&t's tricks, and many of the posts on this any other web sites. Finally I used an old trick. Remove your sim card, carefully clean it off with a standard pencil eraser, then reinsert and power on. test send sms texts yourself a few times and voila. Good luck.

I cant send texts! all other parts of the phone are fine (email, phone, recieving sms') but whenever i try to send a text, it says sms error 97 message id 138 or it says retries exceeded!
Open: Options-->SMS Text
There is a field "Service center" on the screen.
Check this field value. It should be specified a phone number of SMS Service Center that automatically processes your outgoing sms-es.
Usually its value sets automatically, but in this case seems that there is a problem with it.
Contact your wireless provider support team and clarify the SMS Service Center phone number and specify it into this field.

Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
There are no specific Knowledge Base regarding the error Uncaught exception : index 87 >= 87 or similar, As you had already wiped or deleted all applications from your device but still error appearing so to rule out any software issue you can reload your Device OS ,but first do your device backup using BlackBerry Desktop Software,For further instruction please refer to this Knowledge Base :
KB11320 : How to perform a clean reload of the BlackBerry Device software using BlackBerry desktop software for windows.
After Reload restore your backup.I hope it will solve your issue.

SDK 1.3.1.03 SETUP /SMS error on W2k
On W2K, after clicking on the SDK file, the files are extracted to the TEMP directory but then I get the following errors.
Unable to Execute!
"C:\TEMP\pft81~tmp\disk1\SETUP.EXE" /SMS
PackageForTheWeb Error
Unable to execute the specified command line!
I have tried version 1.3.1.02 and have the same problem.
I need verision 1.3.1 due to requirements of other software that I need to install.
I have check the forum for suggestions... Such as checking the Dr watson log file... (no entries) and shutting down all applicationss and stopping non-essential services...(still fails with same messages) Attempting to run the SETUP.EXE command from the command line does not work either.
Can anyone provide a solution?
ThanksI have had the same problem with installing j2sdkee-1_3_1-win.exe on windows 2000. http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doc=forte/ee6c735 indicated that this is either a corrupted download, out of disk space, or temp file conflict. However, I haven't had any luck trying those solutions.
Other things I have tried are unpacking the installer in winzip to a disk1 directory and runing setup.exe from there. I get "The parameter is incorrect" when I double-click the installer, and "The parameter is incorrect" when I run setup.exe from the command line.
I even moved disk1 up to the root of C: to avoid long directory name problems.
I'm pretty low on extra ideas on this one. -

Post relates to: Treo Pro T850 (Bell)Same problem that 1.1.4 update did not fix. Bought 2 iPhones same day for me and wife. She IM's me OK, but if I respond, get area code message...

It DOES NOT happen on her phone!! Same update number, all same settings.
People in Apple store no help.
