5800xm Problem receiving sms
Having a prob actually getting texts anywhere near the time they are sent - sometimes its even a couple of days late. The connections good wherever i am. The firmware is up to date and it was happening even before i upgraded. I spoke to Virgin Uk (the best bit of customer service ive had since i joined them years ago, usually useless to the end - the tech support guys are mint. Really helpful and actually called back to see if doing a hard reset worked. It didnt.)
So, not virgins fault. Dont think its a firmware fault, unless its a bug that was in the last one too. Leaves me with hardware? There have been several others according to Virgin so i know its not just mine thankfully and that the other folks didnt get it working properly by doing a hard reset either. The sim is not damaged, the phone itself is well looked after and despite the obvious lack of pre-market testing, the firmware by and large, holds up.
model 5800-d1
type RM356
software version v 40.0.005
custom version 40.005.286.02
cv date 18-02-2010

thanks in advance
Multimedia messages (photo and group) require Verizon's cellular network to send/receive; they count against your text plan, but not your data plan.
You also may want to do a search on this forum about issues with the iPhone 5 and data usage; it's suggested that you turn off cellular data when not needed.

Problem receiving sms - Nokia 5800
Hi everyone,
I bought an unlocked Nokia 5800 in Spain, I used it for a month with a sim card from "Happy Movil" vendor. It was working just fine.
But once I was back in Argentina I put my sim card from my regular vendor (Personal). So my problem begans here.
I can receive and make calls (Calls are fine), I can send SMS to anyone but I can't receive SMS from another vender that's not Personal (such as Movistar or Claro).
Please someone could help me solving this issue??
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Message center number: Double check that you have it correctly entered. I would suggest that you delete the one already there, and enter the number afresh, and restart your phone
Take out the SIM and make sure the contacts are clean, put it back in and then try again
You may also try restoring factory settings (*#7780# at the stand-by screen; enter the lock code, default is 12345)
Hey, being specific, is it that you cannot receive any sms from other network providers? Try sending an sms to your own number. If you receive it soon, then you should contact the customer support of your network provider for sorting out the problem.
Hope this helps...

Help required - a problem receiving SMS from some ...
Is anyone alble to help resolve a problem with text messages to and from a land line phone please. Are there any long standing issues sending and receiving texts between certain mobile phone providers as I have been having problems for some time. I can send and receive texts to and from the land line between old style mobile phones on 02 and another provider. Some months ago a relative using Orange (I think) was able to receive messages from my land line perfectly OK and then suddenly received them with no message content. They contacted their provider who could not find a problem. During this weekend a contact using Virgin network has sent a text to the land line which I have not received at all. They informed me by email and I sent them a test text from the land line which they have received OK. They sent a reply back to the land line which again I have not received. They have contacted their provider who has checked all connections at Virgin and there doesn't appear to be a problem. Could someone inform me what is the likely cause of the problem, ie mobile network not recognising land line numbers as capable of receiving SMS messages, the BT SMS system, or my text enabled phone. I look forward to any suggestions. With many thanks.
Hi Redlollipop
Did you get any resolution to your problem? Sorry to ask so late after your post, but my mother has had a similar fault since March this year - she can send text messages to all networks on her sms-enabled landline BUT cannot receive replies from the Virgin/T-Mobile/EE group!
Virgin say the messages are blocked by BT - however after exhaustive tests BT say that the problem must be with Virgin! Virgin reply that they can "do no more" because it is not their fault, BT say they can "do no more" because the problem with BT Text only occurs with that particular network...
I have found it impossible to get either side to talk to each other rather than through me, so I am now preparing to involve the Ombudsman service in the hope that they may be able to at least initiate discussions between the technical experts on both sides.
Many thanks!! -
Hi guys, I really need help on that problem,
Summary: Incoming calls show up only as phone numbers, not with the caller's name.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) On your iPhone, save a person's phone number in Contacts with the country's dialing code in front (+ZZZ-XX-YYYYYYY, where +ZZZ is the country code, XX is the carrier, YYYYYYY is the person's phone number);
2) Make a call from that person's device/number to your iPhone;
3) On your iPhone, while ringing, shows the above number without +ZZZ and without the person's name.
Expected Results: No matter how the number is saved (as +ZZZ-XX-YYYYYYY or simply as XX-YYYYYYY) the caller ID should always show up, as in previous iOS editions.
Actual Results: Caller ID does not work as expected and as in previous iOS versions.
Notes: When I receive voice calls, the number comes in without the country dialing code in front, simply appears as XX-YYYYYYY (where the XX is the carrier code and YY is the number) and the caller's name does not appear. In my address book ALL my contact's telephone numbers are preceded with the corresponding country dialing code, because i travel a lot. If I delete the country code from a contact's phone number, and that number calls me, then the person's name appears. I'm am in Angola (country code +244) using iPhone 4, iOS 5, carrier: UNITEL (92)
On the other hand, SMS's are OK, i.e. the Caller ID is linked to the phone number and shows up (because SMS's are receiver with the country dialing code in front of the phone number, p.ex. +244-XX-YYYYYYY).
It has something to do with the Carrier Settings Update as in iTunes i get the error message 1630 which states that: "iTunes could not check for un update to the carrier for your iPhone. An unknown error occured (1630)."

E7 fail to receive SMS after Belle update
Hi there,
I recently have a problem receiving SMS on E7 after updating to Belle. When I put the SIM card to another phone I do receive messages. However I do not receive those SMS that I have sent when the SIM was in the E7. Looks like the messages are lost in the middle of nowhere or somehow stuck in the E7. On the other hand messages sent from E7 are delivered.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks for helpI actually had similar problem with my E7 just the other day. However i am still running Anna, couldnt receive any sms could send them. it was exactly as you described. the only way i was able to get resolved was to speak to my carrier who reset the sms service for my phone number. We did also remove and put back in the sim card, but never received the missing messages, including the ones I sent myself. after the reset I was able to recieve any new messages.
BUT this was on an ANNA based phone. but maybe it work asking your carrier to reset the sms service for your phone from their end. -
Problem sending/ receiveing SMS on a particular port in an intercarrier n/w
I am using JSR 120 to send & receive SMS on a particular port. This works perfectly between 2 devices using the same carrier.
if I try sending & receive inter-carrier SMS, like from T-Mobile device to Cingular device (or vice-versa), my j2me app does not receive any SMS on the port it is listening to.
When the SMS with a port is sent from my app, I get the prompt for permission to send. On pressing OK, the SMS is sent. On the receiving side, the device on the another carrier network receives the SMS in the default inbox, & not by my app.
I am not sure if this is a inter-carrier SMSC issue or something to do with my app.
Pl help.Has anyone come across the above mentioned problem? Pl let me know if there is any solution.
Question simply put : When a j2me sms midlet sends an sms on a unique port to another j2me sms midlet listening on the same port, but served by a different carrier (cellular operator), why does the sms go to device inbox & not to my midlet?
Thank you -
Problem Send Receive SMS in one midlet

If i comment out send code then my application is able to receive any number of sms. I have used different connector.open objects like SMSREAD and SMSSEND to store message connection.
Please help me in this. My send and receive part works perfectly if i do send and receive in two different midlets....................
Any hint.....................

My iPhone5 cannot send and receive SMS using latest iOs. How can this problem be solved?
my iPhone5 cannot send and receive SMS after I updated it to iOs 6.0.2. It used to be able to function normally when it was still using iOs 6.0.1.
Since SMS/MMS is exchanged via your carrier's cellular network only, contact your carrier.

N70. Received sms spawns "unable to send" from out...
N70 sms problem.
A received sms creates a blank copy of itself and attempts to send from the outbox. This fails and an irritating "unable to send" pops up every 5 seconds. Only recourse is to delete spawned sms. Doesn't do it all the time, I can get several days without problem then comes back for a few days.
Any ideas?Backup your data from Phone memory and try reset *#7370#, remember it'll wipe your phone memory, if this code doesn't work try this; + Turn off the mobile device.
+ Press and Hold the following three buttons: the green Call Answer button, the “*” button, and the number “3″ button.
+ While holding these buttons, turn on the phone and keep holding the keys untill the mobile phone restarts and prompts you to enter details.

Not able to send or receive SMS messages on iMessage on mac
When I first updated to Yosemite the new SMS feature on iMessage was working. I had to replace my home button and screen on my iPhone 5s and after that it stopped working. I am not sure if having that repair done on my phone has anything to do with my above problem. Please help
Hi Ralph,
Thank you for your reply.
Ok, I will try to explain myself better.
When I say:
- Messages, I am talking about the software to send and receive iMessages and SMS.
- iMessage, is the blue bubble
- SMS is the green bubble
Facetime is because if someones callsme and I do not answer quickly on iPhone, and the Macs are using the same network as iPhone, the VoiceCall pops ups and rings, and usually I activate the Facetime option (when is a iPhone). Sorry about this confusion.
So basically, a week ago, I could send and receive SMS, iMessage on my Macs to/from anyone.
Now, I just can send iMessages (blue bubbles with blue name/contact on top [TO:]) and I can't send SMS (text messages, green bubble), I receive error (red exclamation point) and the name/contacts on top [To:] are red.
And as I told, I think it might be because of the new iOS update with iTunes recovery. Because it is the only similar thing I can relate with "loyalchiver" (when an iPhone goes to repair, the restore it.) That's why I tried signout/in in all Macs, but still not working.
About the Text Forwarding function, I had searched and what I was getting was to go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding, but this last option didn't appear, so I thought this was because the pages/foruns that I was reading was for the version 8.1 and not 8.1.1 (Apple could change it, I don't know). But while I was trying to put this working, I had rebooted some where and when I saw your reply, I went again there, and I had the Text Message Forwarding option, so all I had to do was activating it. Thank you!
To "labelchiver", I am not sure how I did it, but try this:
1. close all applications running on background.
2. reboot your iphone.
3. go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding .
4. If you can enter there and your mac is linked, unlink it and link it again.
5. Hope it works for you
Once again, thank you for your help and I apologize for my confusions about the labels. Cheers! -
It started last month before I ungraded to iOS5. So my network provider advised me to upgrade. It fixed the problem but it happens again after several days. I lose signal then when I do hard reset, signal is back but I can't send or receive SMS or make and receive calls. But from the other end my phone is ringing but nothing is happening to my phone.This is really frustrating! Coz it happens weekly and the only way to fix it is to back-up and restore. Which is a hassle coz it takes me about 3 hours! Please help. My phone is still under warranty but the provider is telling me it might take them 3 months to check and fix.
I think there is a bug with the iOS5 coz it happen when it I upgraded. Before I was quite happy with my iPhone4 but now it has become a source of anxiety and stress. I've received a lot of complaints at work coz they couldn't contact me.Try to set it up as new device without using the last backup: How to back up your data and set up as a new device

Hi, I am in a big problem here so please help me.
My problem is that i have an app that sends sms and it used to work well, but when passed to some devices they dont send anything. Now the same app was deployed to a blackberry curve and it sends the sms but the message is never recieved by any phone. I tested sending to a nokia 6131, motorola l6i, htc excalibur, and a treo 650. The treo was the only one receiving the messages but not anymore, I am sending to the port 0 and the phone is put on international format.
The app have been correctly working on nokia phones and also tested on a blackberry 7290 but on blackberry curve is not working, I also loaded a small app just to send 1 sms and didnt work.
Any ideas, why does some phones can send/receive sms and some other not. Why is java too unreliable with this.Hey r u sure there is a problem with the E6
all other devices are working fine and they send the sms successfully
i dont use the port but use the primum no like 45456
it works well on all devices but dont work on MOTO E6 and MOTO A1200(ming)
so is there any problme? -
HELP - not receiving sms on android after using ichat
For the past 3 months, I have lost the ability to receive SMS texts about once a month.
The first time it happened right after I sent somone an ichat on my ipad. Up until then, I had not used ichat for about one year, which is when I went from an iPhone to an android (and I have not used it since then either). I did some research online and found some suggestions on how to fix the issue. A few forums suggested removing my cell phone # from my Apple Support profile. A few others said to change my apple password. I did both and my messages started coming in about 3 days after they stopped.
About 3 weeks later, I stopped receiving them again. I looked at my Apple Support profile and found that my cell phone # had been added back in. Thinking that maybe Apple has some job that runs every so often and repopulates information on blank fields, I removed my cell phone # again and entered a bogus #.
Couple days ago I stopped receiving texts again. I looked at my Apple Support profile and found that the bogus # is still listed so that was not what fixed it the first time.
I have called ATT (my carrier) repeatedly and they have tried to trouble shoot my problem with no success. They suggest that it's only something that Apple can fix. I have also called Apple and they suggest that it's an ATT issue. No one has been able to help me. It really surprises me that this is not a known issue with a fix.
So here is the problem in a nutshell:
I am not receiving sms texts on my android, from anyone at all.. doesn't matter what kind of phone they have or who their carrier is.
I DO receive mms texts.
All of my texts are going through no probelm.
Does anyone have any clue how I can stop this from happening every few weeks? I want to stick with my current phone until the next iPhone comes out. Any leads on this issue are greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!I just don't understand what you mean by "invites". What kind of "invite" did you send "from another gmail to gmail"?
What about a simple email? Do you receive simple email messages to that address?
