SMS not working - never has.

Hi all,
I have supposed to have had SMS on my landline since it came out.
I bought a set of Philips cordless phones for the purpose. They were the best cordless phones that I’d ever come across, great, clear sound quality, functionality etc.
The SMS wouldn’t work.
I got the ‘audio’ version of a message,,,,, but not the ‘visual’ one.
My initial contact with BT met with; “it should work (!?!?),,,,, - probably the 3rd party phones are incompatible with the service” ! And as such, wouldn’t look into it much.
Rather reluctantly, I bought a set of BT Verve phones. Excitedly, I sent myself a test message, only to find that they were the same. When I say “the same”, I meant that I still didn’t get the visual version of the SMS – not that the quality of the phones were the same, as they weren’t. They are nowhere as good as the original Philips ones – that I had now given to my old neighbours.
I tried BT again, but they said that as I am getting the audio version of the SMS, that there must be a problem with my gear.
I had visions of them saying “you only need to spend more pounds on a special bit of kit” etc, so I gave up. It has never worked since. I have refrained from giving my number out for SMS purposes, so have to keep my mobile phone on all day, just to receive said messages.
The only reason that I am brining it up again now, is that at 2:45 this morning, my phone/s went. I am now a disabled pensioner, and due to pain and medication, my sleep pattern is not as it should be. I relish the short periods of sleep that I pinch here & there.
I have a young adult Son, who has just returned from Oz. He bought a cheap car to keep him going till he makes his mind up whether he’s staying in the UK, or going back to Australia. Earlier in the day, he called to say that it was over-heating, so when the phone went at that time in the morning, it scared me to death (well, almost. In my condition, it could well have). As I struggled to get to the phone, my answer machine cut in. I still had to make it to my lounge to listen to the recording, in case there was an emergency - because - no one in their right mind would actually telephone me at 2:45 for a chat !
When I heard the audio message reverberating from the machine, firstly; I was so relieved that it was nothing serious, & secondly; so dammed annoyed that I had expended so much energy, in so much pain, just to listen to it – I almost broke down. Of course, I have not slept since then, which will bu@@er up another day.
Apologies for the rambling, but I wanted to show how these tiny niggles can effect different people, differently.
My question/s:
1) Can I get this ‘so called service’ working ?
2) If I can’t – can I get it stopped altogether ?
3) When/if it is working, does the phone ring when a SMS is received – or what happens ? If the phone rings, then I may not want the service anyway – it defeats my object. Another set of 2nd quality phones later,,,,,,,,,,
All The Best to you all for the
NEW YEAR

Why "send sms" not work in flash lite3 ???

hello
i write this code for send sms in device :
on(release) {
if(_capSMS)
getURL("sms:" add myNumber add "?body=" add myText);
it work fine in flash lite1.1 & 2.x
but not work in flash lite 3 !!!!!
what shall i do ? please help me
can i make the command geturl to work on flashlite 3?
or how can i open an url from flash lite 3?
please help me

Hi,
It appears that the problem is with the security sandbox. To
be able to send an SMS, it looks like you have to publish for Flash
Lite 3, and in the Publish Settings, set 'Local playback security'
to 'Access network only'. I used the following code:
on (release) {
if (System.capabilities.hasSMS) {
getURL("sms:" + myNumber + "?body=" + myText);
And it would only work when the publish settings were set as
above. This was testing on a Nokia E65 with the developer edition
of FL3 installed.
Hope this helps!

MacBook Pro SMS Not Working

Lately on my MacBook Pro Retina Display my SMS is not working. It was working fine n smoothly when iOS 8 came out, but think between a month or two it hasn’t been working properly. I can’t recieve or send regular SMS. How could i fix this? *Every software is updated from iPhone to MacBook*.

Hi Davin12,
It sounds like there’s a Continuity issue that’s preventing you from sending and receiving SMS messages on your MacBook Pro. Take a look at the article linked below and try the troubleshooting suggestions it provides.

Iphone 5 with iOS 7 sms not working.

Hi,
I just bought a new iphone 5 yesterday and I'm not able to sent/receive any sms. I got iOS 6 preloaded with my phone which I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 with a hope to get this problem solved but still I'm not able to sent/receive sms.
I've my sms service enabled from carrier provider and all the settings are correct. I've been searching over the internet for solutions and tried almost everything but no luck so far.
FYI, I'm from Mumbai, India and using Airtel.

Hey BilalBudhani,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues sending/receiving SMS messages. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
If you can't send or receive messages
- Restart your device.
- Update to the latest iOS Software.
- If you are trying to send a message to multiple recipients and you type in each contact manually instead of using the contacts list, make sure you tap return instead of space to separate each one.
If you still can't send or receive SMS or MMS messages
1. See the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant.
2. Verify that every phone number in your contacts list includes an area code.
3. When sending to existing contacts, ensure that your contacts include the full phone number, and not just the information needed to dial locally.
4. If you have recently ported your number from another carrier, please contact your current carrier to verify that the porting process has completed successfully.
Thanks,
Matt M.

SMS not working on iPhone 5s

SMS is not working on my new I phone 5s

Well, what happens when you try and SMS? What makes you think that it is nor working? What troubleshooting have you tried? If this is SMS and not iMessage, SMS is a carrier function, have you checked with your carrier?
Without knowing more information, it could be anything wrong.

SMS not working after lollipop update

Ok - getting annoyed with this now. When I go in to the messaging app there are no messages and eventually I get a message to says it's stopped responding and do I want to wait or close the app. I have tried clearing the cache and even tried the clearing the settings so I could restore a backup However it still doesn't work after clearing the settings so I installed the google messenger app. That has no messages either and won't let me send any (although at least my contacts show in that one. I am now trying Textra and it's just sat there saying 'Textra is busy setting up' and has so far been like that for about 10 mins Please help I really need my texts back asap this is a real problem

Hi don't know if this is already solved in some forum. For me the following trick worked. Use the link http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/xperiaz2/kb/02310188062479649013b85478398007a6a/Go to where you can set the smsc.Push refresh you will see "+xxxxxxxxxx",145The 145 is an extra code indicating it's an international number.Edit this number and remove the ,145 so you will get "+xxxxxxxxxx"Then push the update button. (some xtra details http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433433)Go back and check if it works. For me this did the trick. (I think the messenger app does not handle well the international code, but not sure of course would need source code to verify that one )Sammi_J wrote:

Sms not working in iMessage

This was all working fine linking with my iPhone 5s, then I suddenly noticed I was getting SMS on the phone but not on iMessage. When I try to send sms, it just reports them as 'Not Delivered, Could not be sent'.
Nothing has changed on the phone or the Mac (although this could go back as far as the last iOS update, cant be sure.
Logged phone out from Apple ID (message and facetime), logged facetime and imessage out on the mac. Logged both apps on the phone first, then facetime (works fine), then imessage.
Logins all report they have worked and all devices show up where they should, but still cant send or receive sms from Mac (works ok on phone)
Help!

Hi,
Both the iOS and the Mac OS X have apps called Messages.
They are different but compatible.
On enabling the app on the iPhone it can send iMessages as it registers the iPhone Number with the iMessages Servers. If you try to send to an Non Apple device or one that is not Registered then it will send SMS to the Phones involved (and tell you it can't to the others).
The Mac App registers an Apple ID with the iMessages servers. However it can also join 4 other services.
In the latest software on both devices you can no link the iPhone and Mac for SMS.
It does need both to be linked using the Apple ID on the iPhone so that iMessages that are sent display on both devices. Then it needs both to be on the same network. Generally this means the iPhone is WiFi whilst the Mac can be Ethernet or WiFi.
The iPhones can always send SMS when they have a carrier service.
The Process that links the two uses the iPhone to send the SMS.
Resetting can be a good place to start.
As the iPhone can send SMS and this is a choice after activating the app on the iPhone it suggests that in Send and Receive on then iPhone that the Number is showing active for being linked to the iMessages servers.
Removing the Apple ID should be followed by making the app break with the servers.
I use putting it in Airplane Mode for two minutes and then going back to the Settings.
This will tend to cause the iPhone Number to Verify again with the servers.
After that has finished Add back the apple ID.
This should trigger the pop ups on the Mac version which you should accept (it re-links the Apple ID and iPhone number even though they still appear in the settings).
After that reset the Text Forwarding on the iPhone which should trigger the Code (a new one) appearing on the Mac version.
The Code number needs entering on the iPhone.

IPhone 5 - iMessage and SMS not working

I was unaware that I wasn't received messages. I don't text that often and didn't realize until yesterday that I hadn't received any messages until a friend told me she had been trying to text me. I managed to send one text and receive 2 from her, but that's it. I've sent several since then and they all show as sent, but apparently have disappeared into the ether since no one has received them. I also haven't been able to receive any other texts. I've tried a network reset twice, rebooting the phone, etc. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I didn't do a restore yet, but it seems like iMessage is working for me now, but not SMS. I don't have time tonight, but I think I'll try the restore tomorrow and see if that helps.

Iphone 5 - SMS not working when imessage not available

I have an iphone 5 (ios 7.0.4). I have imessage set up with "Send as SMS" switched on. However, when I try to send a text to my sister who has an iphone 4s but always has imessage switched off it will not revert to green to send it as an SMS. It will just send it as an imessage and then come up with the message that it is undeliverable. I am also having the same problem sending messages to other iphone users who may not be in a wifi area or who don't have their data on. Every iphone user in my contacts comes up with the blue send button when I type messages whether or not they use imessage! Any ideas as to why this is happening.

There are millions and millions iPhone and I'm one of them that don't have any problem with my Wi-Fi.
Did you check for firmware updates as mentioned earlier?
