Can't send text messages (can only recieve). How do I change Service Center Number

Hello. As my subject states, i can't seem to send text messages (but i can receive them). I'm told by my carrier that i need to change my service center number (and they provided it). I've been looking all over the phone for this option, and can't seem to find it. I keep seeing posts saying "On your device: Options > SMS > Service Center." but "service center" does not appear when i go to options>SMS text. I see the following; screen options conversation style: show names: message options priority: callback number: disable autotext: so my question is;, where do i find this?

firstly - if i'm posting in the "BlackBerry 9500 Series Smartphone" setion,
I have a bit more than 30 messages on this forum, and my experience says that many people do not post in the board that matches their device. So it's a good idea to make sure.

you did publish it in your "private information" part in your profile. But you have to configure your profile to allow people to view your private information. Here is a screenshot of what I see :

Nokia X3-02 can't send text message to only one of...

i can't send text message to only one of my contacts... what happen? what should i do? help me pls... tnx...

Hi,
You can send the other contacts SMS but not only one contact, Right?
Then the issue is with your contact, maybe the number is not right or not the right format.
So check your contact number with number which you can send SMS.
Maybe it is best to delete that contact and create new contact which the format is the same with the others.
I hoe this helps.

I can not send text messages

this is a new problem on my g4. all of a sudden I can not send text messages when i am in my home. this happens on my s4 and my sons s4 but my daughter uses an iphone and she is not having this problem. i can receive texts, facebook, email etc I just can not send texts. Nothing in my house has changed except that Comcast just put in a new modem, I am not tech savvy at all so not even sure that would affect my out going texts
any suggestions would be great

Hi scrappy1989,
Let's see what's causing the problem! Are you using a 3rd party messaging application? Are you having trouble sending picture and text message? Do you experience the issue with everyone you send a message to? Do you receive an error message? I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

I can't send text message to one person.

I can receive a text message from her, but unable to reply: "not delivered". No problem with Imessages to the same person.
Already tried to delete message thread + contact, didn't work.
Help?

This was as an issue for me on iOS8.1 on the 6 too.
I followed this and recreated the contact prior to sending the message - it didn't work. However, I went through the steps again and I didn't create the contact, instead just added the number, it went through. Thanks for the help.

How can I send text messages without being a thread as an group??

Hi guys, I want to send text messages so several person without being an SMS as an group chat.
Why do I want it?? Well it's mostly to send Christmas greetings to several persons without they know to whom I send to because many of them dot even know each other.. And I don't want the recipients to see the numbers of other recipients..
I've read in the forum that you can turn off the "group messaging" in the "messages" bar. However i don't have that, so is there any other ways I can aens text without it being an SMS as group????

Can't send text message only iMessage

After current OS update to 10.9.5 iMessage appears to function differently.
Previously one had the option to "send as text message" if the recipient was not registered in iMessage.
I cannot find this option any longer.
Please advise.

My iphone 4s can't send text messages or receive calls

I've had my phone a few months now and I have had no issues. All of a suddent this morning I notice I can not receive calls or send out text messages. I'm told they either go straight to my voicemail or they get a message saying my service has been temporairly disconnected. I can make calls and I can receive texts. I can access the internet through my data. Has anyone had this issue? If so does anyone know of a fix? My carrier says the towers in my area are fine with no known issues.

You are not alone I could not only send messages but I could not even type in the box went in the setting and notice that iMessage was turned off and when I reactivated it my phone now making the most horrible sound when a message comes in or goes out and I cannot stop it. Also make sure that the Do Not Disturb option is on.

Can't send text message from N95 8GB

I suddenly cannot send anymore text message from my N95 8GB.
"Message cannot be sent" - "Verify network settings" - that's what I get.
Can anyone help? thx.

Hi sonia78,
Do you have enough credit/balance to send texts?
Have you checked the Message Centre number? Contact your service provider to obtain the number, and then update it in Messaging -> Options -> Settings -> Text message -> Message Centres.
Did you try a SIM from another Service provider? If the new one works, contact your service provider for help.
You can try these steps one by one, if the steps above do not help:
1. Turn off your phone, leave your battery and SIM out for 5-10minutes and put everything back in and turn it on .
2. Restore factory settings: type *#7780# at the standby screen. Enter 12345 for the security code or the one you've changed it to.
Before you try the next two steps, backup your phone memory using PC Suite.
3. Soft reset: This will clean up your phone memory. All user data, applications etc stored in the phone memory will be destroyed. Type *#7370#. Enter the security code when prompted
4. Hard reset: This is the last resort. Turn off your phone, press and hold down these keys: 3, * and the call (Green) button. Turn on your phone without releasing them. Leave the keys only after you see the region selection screen.
5. Reinstall the firmware: Download and install the latest Nokia Software Updater from the Nokia website. Connect to the internet, connect your phone to the PC and run NSU. Follow on-screen instructions carefully. Make sure you have a full battery and a stable PC before you proceed.
