3G Setting - not able to send SMS text messages
I have a £GS iphone. Can anyone explain why my SMS messages fail to send if the 3G setting is enabled but it will send when 3G is disabled. It makes no difference whether I have a strong 3G signal or none at all.
I suggest contacting your carrier. I don't believe this is an iPhone problem since you are able to send SMS when connected via EDGE or when 3G network access is off. Although technically data, SMS is exchanged over the same network as calls - not via the carrier's data or internet network.

I am not able to send/receive text message on my N...
Hello:
I bought a Nokia 5800 in India last summer. I used a local SIM card (Airtel) when I was there. I was able to send/receive text messages when I was in India.
I came back to Chicago and replaced the Airtel SIM card on my 5800 with my AT&T sim card. I have a pay-as-you-go service with AT&T. I had used a Sony-Ericsson Z300a phone with my AT&T service before I bought my 5800. I did not have any problems sending/receiving text messages with the Sony-Ericsson phone using my AT&T SIM card.
I don't have any problems using my 5800 with my AT&T SIM card for calling or sending/receiving multimedia messages. I just cannot send or receive any text messages. I have checked the message center number setting on my 5800 and it appears to be correct. I have also done a hardware reset of the 5800 and the problem remains.
Any clues?Hello parsar. Even if you have the correct Message Center number there, it's worth a try to delete the existing one and enter the correct one afresh. Make sure you have the latest firmware on your phone, and that there are no applications that may interfere with sending/receiving sms, like some filtering software.
Hope this helps
And, pakiboy, resetting to factory settings (by typing *#7780#) will NOT delete anything in the phone memory.

I had the same problem. Kept getting message of waiting for activation or check network connections. I also tried every solution out there and nothing worked. This did though: I download the newest version of itunes (through Internet Explorer - Google Chrome wouldn't work). It pulled in my entire library thank goodness and then I plugged my iphone 4s into the computer. I let itunes find it, did a complete backup in icloud, then did a restore. Entire process took a couple of hours, but I now have imessage and facetime back. I was about ready to give up on Apple and go get a different phone ~

Hi Everyone:
Since the last 9 days after upgrading my Iphone 4 I am not able to access my text messages or send texts. I have attempted to delete the "68" messages however, once deleted for a period 2-3 seconds. The deleted messages reappears! I have reset. restored. did back-ups! Nothing has altered this problem. Has anyone else experienced this? Please help? Thanks :-)Thanks Diesel:
But I have been back and forth with my carrier and they are adament that this is not their issue but Apple's..... I do appreciate your reply! -

Can a macbook send SMS text messages ?
With the new OS X Yosemite operating system, yes you can. It can send and receive them. With Yosemite and IOS 8.1 (released today) you can send and receive them from your iPad as well.

Can not send SMS text message.
Hi, I'm a BlackBerry user for 4 years now and this is the first time that I have a problem with SMS text messaging. My precious BB is a Q10.
The problem is that I can receive SMS messages but I can not answer and I can not send messages. When I tap the 'send' icon or press Enter nothing happens. My message dissapears and i can not see in the upper window, below the message that I've previously receive and I wanted to aswer for.
Also, I can compose SMS message, but when I press Enter or tap send, nothing happens. No message in the hub, or in the text messages folder.
I've rebooted the device, reloaded the OS, but didn't help.Hi and Welcome to the Community!
With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (step 1 should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive
2) Reboot
Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

Nokia N95 not able to send sms.
My nokia N95 is unable to send sms messages. The screen is saying "general memory is full, close some applications and try again". Have deleted all messages from inbox, outbox, photos, etc. But is still not able to send. I am able to recieve sms and calls. Don't understand where to find 'general memory'??? Can anyone help me please?? It has been like this for a week. Thanks
Check in File Manager where your phone thinks memory is being taken up (Options>Memory details) - this will tell you if you have large amounts of memory taken up by thing which can be moved to memory card (such as photos, videos, music files etc.)
If this is not the case, make a backup of your personal stuff (contacts, messages etc.) using PC Suite, leaving out anything that you don't need and also leaving out settings; then reformat your phone with the code *#7370# - the phone will ask you for confirm, then enter the lock code (12345 if you haven't changed it from standard) then shut down and restart - you should be able to send again after this. You can then restore your personal datat to the phone. -
I am not able to send sms to certain contacts from my iphone5
hi
iam not able to send message to certain contacts from my iphone5Hi sri_sr,
If you are unable to send SMS messages to certain contacts, we may need to check a few things:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
If you still can't send or receive SMS or MMS messages
- See the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant.
- Verify that every phone number in your contacts list includes an area code.
- When sending to existing contacts, ensure that your contacts include the full phone number, and not just the information needed to dial locally.
- 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,

Can Messages beta send sms text messages?
I have the Messages beta installed and it's working great between mine and my wifes IOS devices, and Macs. But when I try to send an sms message to someone with a non-smart phone on the verizon network, I receive a message that they're not available. Here are some of the fomats I've tried

Is it possible to send and receive sms text messages from my Mac?I actually forgot to mention that bit, as I always turn on the instant messaging field by default in my template settings. For those that don't know how to do this, just open the address book preferences (Command + Comma) or from the Address Book menu, select Preferences, go to the Template tab, click the 'Add Field' drop down, and select "instant messaging'. I did define those SMS numbers as "AIM" for the 'type'.
Not really keen on the idea that I have to leave my AIM account logged in as I rarely use it these days, but I haven't found a way to work around that yet. -

Dr Abhay PatilHello drabhay.p,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! Let’s see if we can figure out what is going wrong so that we can get these great new features working. I’d like to start off by checking to see that you are signed in with the same Apple ID on all of the device (for iMessage). For more information, check out the following resources:

Not able to send SMS after IOS 7.1.1 update
I updated to 7.1.1 last nite and today noticed that my SMS messages are not being received. I have tried all of the following with no success at all:
Activated iMessage successfully
Send as SMS activated
Send & receive: only my phone number (I live in Greece so the number shown starts with +30) is ticked, email is NOT ticked
Deactivated iMessage
Reset network settings
I do receive SMS messages from my husband's Samsung but my messages sent to his phone and others show on my phone as sent but they are not received. We have no carrier issues; this problem only started after the IOS update.
Appreciate any suggestions! Thank you.iMessages or SMS which are different, or both?
SMS/MMS are exchanged via a carrier's cellular network only. If an SMS or MMS is successfully sent, what happens to the message after that has nothing to do with the cell phone that successfully sent the message. -
