BB 8900 SMS issue.

Hi chaps - I have a strange issue happening with our blackberry's here at work.
We have recently adopted a new format for phone numbers - all numbers are now stored as +44 (0) 111111. The Blackberry's picked this up and started working absolutely fine except for one area - sending SMS messages.
When going to a contact though the contact list, then selecting to send them an SMS message, this works absolutely perfectly without any issues at all, however when going through the SMS/MMS section (which you would normally associate as the way to send SMS) then composing the SMS & adding contacts, it fails to send, giving a 'Network out of order' error.
The network itself is fine, and this is a problem affecting 20+ 8900 users, so it has to be down to the way the device is handling the numbers itself (although it is slightly confusing that it would work through the contacts section).
I have adjusted the country code within the smart dialing section to +44, which allows phone calls to connect as normal, however it seems that trying to send an SMS through the SMS section may not ignore the leading zero (0) as it should, hence the failures.
So, after that rather contrived, and probably somewhat confusing explaination of the problem does anyone have any ideas as to where to look for a solution? I have almost given up
Thanks a lot

Lumia 1020 SMS Issue.

Been having issues for a few months now and haven't been able to find any solutions online. I'm having an issue where I can not send messages to certain numbers and I am just receiving the "Can't send" message as if I had no signal. What's even more confusing is that I have no issue receiving messages from these numbers, I am just incapable of replying. Currently this is only affecting a few contacts, but obviously this is an extremely annoying issue. If you have any advice or tips to solve this issue I would greatly appreciate it. Oh and I've just carried out all possible updates and still the problem persists.
-Thanks for taking the time to read this, MuirC

Hi MuirC,
We appreciate your effort in posting your concern on the forum. By the way, are you still experiencing the SMS issue? If yes, have you tried using another SIM card if it makes any difference? Make sure to use the original Micro SIM and not the modified one. You may also try checking this Nokia Lumia 1020 - Troubleshooter for a possible resolution. Any update is very much appreciated.

1.1.3 & sms issue

1.1.4 didnt fix the sms issue ... i still get errror invalid number . please resnd useing a valid 10 digital number or valid short code.

Make sure you are only using the 10 digit mobile number and not including a 1 in front....like you would typically do when dialing long distance. If that is not the problem you're having.....then I'm clueless as to why you are getting an error.

IPhone 4 SMS issues...not 1 way text

I recently bought an iPhone 4 from verizon. I noticed a SMS issues...getting text from other cell phones with no problem but not from 1 way texts(I.e. Banks, Internet). Tried to open my mobile banking/alerts on my credit cards ( 4 total). When the companies text me the verification code I never received text. Talked with verizon but they didn't find any issues. Their text test came immediately through. They had me send text to my self via (www.txt drop.com) but never got those texts....help What the heck is going on...

If it is not reaching your iPhone has to be an issue with either Verizon or the person sending it.

SMS Issue

Hi,I' recently switched from Black berry to Iphone 5 now facing issue in SMS sending getting error message" Not delivered" it's happening with few specific numbers on the other hand numbers starting with the same series i am able to send SMS Plz Help!

Two things to try:
1- Reset your phone by pressing and holding the power button for about 15 seconds until you see BlackBerry on the screen. Don't release the button until you see that, ignoring anything else that appears before that, and
2- Turn off your phone, remove the SIM card, replace it a few seconds later and power on your phone.
Try those suggestions and post back with your results.

8900, email issue after update to OS 5

Hello,
I suppose this is the last resort in finding a solution to my problem. I hope I'm not repeating a topic previously started by someone else.
Anyway this morning received a notification that finally there's an update from OS 4.6.** to OS 5 bundle 1682. Updated the BB Desk Manager, backed up the phone it's self and started the upgrade.
Afterwards I ran in to basically one main problem, although all my emails have been restored it seems a few email boxes aren't visible in the traditional sense, (I picked the 'show all' menu part, looked through all the folders etc). But all have is 2 email inboxes that contain some unsent emails from months back. If I look in the "messages" menuish thing (home screen, shows all the messages from all inboxes) the emails are all there, same goes for the 'options'->'status'->'database sizes'->'messages'
I know it's a complicated explanation, sorry.
A more visible example:
I have 5 emails setup on the phone. 2 on gmail, 2 personal hosting and 1 from blackberry.com
As far as it goes for the personal and blackberry accounts everything is there, nothing 'missing', but I cannot say the same for the gmail ones.
If I choose the 'filter menu' ->check the 'AllMail' box then I get to see everything but only until I exit the screen and everything has to be done again.
Although a clean OS installation seems to be the only solution perhaps there is something I have not yet considered. A roll back to 4.6 is an option, since there aren't any significant changes.
Using BB 8900 v5.0.0.1036 (bundle 1682, platform 5.2.0.104)
Carrier: Vimpelcom (Beeline), Russia
Official purchase if that ever matters)
Hope someone could assist me, thanks in advance
Mike

Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each 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
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. 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. 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 try deleting and re-adding your BIS conduits for the affected email accounts.
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

New 8900 (Sync issue??)

Just received my shiny new BB 8900 which is looking to be a brilliant piece of kit.
Yet I seem to have one issue that I cannot find an answer to anywhere so I thought you lovely people here may have the answer?
I have Sync'd my contacts from Windows Contacts (Vista Home) to the device but when I go to the contacts on the Blackberry itself the all show a picture in with the contact details which is the actual picture I have set for my user (administrator) on my PC I really cant work out why this is happening?
Has anyone else had this problem if so please could you tell me how to stop this happening?
Many Thanks in advance

This has nothing to do with your iPad.
This is the number of computers you have authorized with your iTunes account with iTunes.
Is this the only computer that has been authorized with your iTunes account with iTunes? No other computer has been authorized that is still available or that was sold or given to someone else without you deauthorizing the computer before doing so?
It makes no difference until you reach 5 authorized computers. At that time you can deauthorize all at once followed by re-authorizing the computer or computers being used at that time.

Email & SMS issues : E71

Hi,
Problem started recently, it was working fine for about 1 week.
I could not open and email or sms. Not sure whether is it any software i installed, but have since remove most of it.
The other issues that's bothering me is when ever i reset my HP, there will be a program installing, but will report "unable to complete installation, to complete installation, go to application manager....."
How can i check what is the application that it is trying to installed and fail????

That is a common setting for some email accounts hosted in AOL or Yahoo, and some others. You need to change that setting to send you a text alert in your hosting account.

IPhone 4S SMS issues

I am having issues with SMS messages coming from Ukraine.
One text will be ok, but if one is sent soon after the first, it comes across in Japanese language.
They checked and it is not on their end. When I had the IPhone 3, I did not have this problem.
Can you help me ?

2 SMS Issues with Blackberry Curve 8530

Hi, I've had 2 issues with my SMS functions on my BB curve 8530 which is recently purchased.
1) I don't receive any form of notification when I receive SMSes, regardless of whether my BB is in Vibrate or Normal mode. The LED light does not flash either. I know (from other forums) that this is a common problem, but I have yet to find a valid solution for this. This problem occured around 1 month after using the BB.
2) Initially when using SMSes it comes in a chat format (e.g. history of the conversation will appear below as you type a reply) but now it only appears when I am viewing a received message. When I try to send a outgoing message, I am only able to see the history of messages I have typed, and not the ones received. How do I rectify this issue?
Thank you so much

Hello, i'm not sure about a solution for number 1, but i am experiencing the same problem for number 2. Before i changed my theme from the classsic one, everything was going okay with my texts but since i have changed it i can no longer view my messages as a conversation. I can still see my messages but i have to go all the way through the message menu ( sms inbox/outbox ect) I recommend that you open a message from your inbox, hit the blackberry key, scroll down to options, then general, then where it says theme controlled change it to combined. I tried that and it didnt work for me, but it might for you as it did to my friend. Good luck!

9300i sms issues

Good day all.
I just got a hold of a 9300i and noticed 3 things about it that I'm not sure if it's a setting issue or a software issue.
1. When I receive sms's, I"m only shown the number it is from and not the sender's name (eventhough the sender is in my phone directory).
2. When I type, and after I get to the end of the sentence and hit full stop, and when I start the next sentence, it starts with a small caps. In my old O2, after every full stop, it starts with capitals (similar to the mobile phone sms style).
3. No vibration mode?????
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Hi Karym6,
Thanks for your help. I guess I'll just have to type all my stuff without using full stops. Don't understand why they have this for sms's (in phone mode), and can't just do the same for the "flipped" mode.
As for the names showing up in the sms's, I mucked around and found out the issue. I had all my contacts in my SIM card. I then tried putting all my contacts from the SIM to the phone... and that worked. BUT I didn't know a quick way of doing this, so I had to download the numbers (from another phone) to my computer, then to download the numbers to the 9300i. I shouldn't have gotten this phone as I'm probably too dumb to use it.. sigh..

SMS Issues (N97)

Suddenly for no apparent reason I've stopped receiving SMS messages while the phone is running. If I turn it off and then back on the messages appear.
I also don't seem to be receiving reports from messages sent either, although I know they're going through as people have replied to me.
I've checked all my settings and nothing has changed, reports are still turned on, etc. I've not made any changes to the phone, no updates or anything, so does anyone have any ideas? People have been trying to contact me and it's becoming an issue.
Thanks.
