Cannot send sms with 4.01

a new story with my 3gs and iphone 4
purchased 2 iphone in france unlock them for 69 euro
it was working perfectly in china with 3gs china unicom and now with the updated version
i cannot send sms , can receive them and get my mails
but not more sending
help / can you seriously do something
you guys should test your op before sending an update

Hello, I also have the same problem. My iPhone 5 is a from Hong Kong too! My iMessage doesn't work as well as FaceTime also. It keeps saying waiting for activation. I use china unicom too, tried contacting them but they couldn't solve the issue. But it many cases when I change my SIM card or insert mine to another phone , it suddenly activates. This is really frustrating because I can't check my credit balance at all or send urgent messages to people.
Anyone with a good suggestion?

Cannot send SMS with iPhone 5

Hi I have purchased a iPhone 5 from Hong Kong and I am using it in china. All works well except that I cannot send SMS (still can receive them)... I have contacted the apple support but I have no solution till now. I also asked China Unicom for help but they cannot find the problem... More over the activation of message and FaceTime doesn't : I can use iMessage and FaceTime but on settings the activation doesn't work. Did anyone have similar problem and was anyone able to find the good solution ?

MEID: 99000226455839
Looking forward to the support from Apple
Thank you!

Well yes, you probably will have problems with your phone because a 'contract free' phone is NOT the same as a fully unlocked iPhone.
This is a user forum, so nobody here can really help you. As Sprint is your carrier in the US, then you need to contact them first. They are the only ones who can help you.

I can receive sms but cannot send sms with iphone 4s

I have a new apple iphone 4s. I am able to receive sms but can neither send sms nor go on the internet. I have filled in all the settings given to me by my carrier yet I am not able to connect to cellular network. My carrier gave me a phone number I should enter as my messaging center number. But I am not able to find the place to enter the number on my Iphone. Can someone assist me please?

Hi!
When mail being sent from iPhone, it will be used the outgoing email server you had setup for the account sending email.
If it works on wifi and not by carrier, it means most likely one of the following:
a: carrier blocking SMTP using any other mail server than the carrier's one
b: your outgoing email server not reachable from external network (an example: 192.168.x.x server, it is a local subnet server, will never be reached from outside)
You can ask your carrier what is the outgoing email server you have to use, and add it to the "other smtp servers" info of your email account. When sending email, iPhone will try servers listed there if main will fail on send.

CANNOT send SMS messages with ADDRESS BOOK on POWERBOOK using iPHONE

I cannot send SMS messages with my address book or dial phone numbers using my Powerbook via the iPHONE.
Previously, with my Sony Ericson phone, I could do both. It's very useful, when you are at your laptop, to use your computer keyboard to send SMS text messages back and forth rather than using the clumsy small keys on a phone.
Can someone help?
Is there something I am missing?

You are not missing something here and no one here can help you. This is not an included Bluetooth profile with the iPhone at the present time anyway.
If you purchased your iPhone within the last 14 days, you can return it for credit less a 10% restocking fee and if not, here is Apple's feedback link for the iPhone.

Cannot SEND SMS messages on 8130

Here's my story:
1. I upgraded to a Blackberry Pearl 8130 in pink earlier this year. My carrier is Verizon.
2. Recently (say a month ago), a friend sent a text message to me from her new phone. I attempted to text her back, but received a big fat red X indicating that my message did not go through. Specifically, when I open my message, the error says, "Mobile equipment status failed."
3. I went to Verizon. They did something where I think they took me off the network and then put me back on. This did nothing. She wanted to do a hard set on the phone, but I had not backed up my data yet.
4. I went home and backed up my data and went back to Verizone about a week later. I spend over an hour in the store. The gentleman that was helping me was on the phone with someone (presumably technical support) to no avail. He was ready to order me a replacement phone, but after further discussion with tech support, they thought there was an issue with the network, not my phone. I went home with a case number.
5. The very next day Verizon called me. They indicated that it wasn't a network issue and that it was my phone. They were going to send me a replacement.
6. I received my replacement phone a couple of days later. I was anxious to get it set up, but the results have been the same. I have not yet returned to Verizon. I thought I'd try here first to see if anyone had any ideas.
The bottom line:
I CAN send/receive e-mails.
I CAN send a MMS message.
I CAN receive SMS messages.
I CANNOT send SMS messages.
Thank you for any advice you may have.

Two months later and I finally ..yes FINALLY figured out the SMS issue I previously mentioned on my own out of sheer frustration. I have a Pearl 8130. First ..thanks to everyone for the previous suggestions for resolution here on this board, Google and other areas I've searched many times over however ..none of the suggetions or options worked ..ie, battery pull, *228, calling Alltel tech support many times, going to the Alltel store etc.. you name it I tried it. Guess what? And this is for anyone else who may have had the same problem.. sad to say it was a very simple change in the settings that resolved the "X SMS error 0, Message ID 99" response on every single text (sms) I tried to send.
1.) Click the Call Log icon
2.) Select the menu button (immediate right of the track ball)
3.) Select Options - this will give you a list that begins with "General Options" ..etc
From this list..
4.) Select Smart Dialing
From here you will see an option for "Use "1" for National Dialing"
If it on the default setting of "no" change it to "yes"
Save your selection as normal and you should be good to go.
The funny thing in all of this ..I was recently in Southern California (I live in Arizona) and while there I had absolutely no trouble whatsoever sending or receiving. Upon my return to AZ the problem resurfaced and I have to admit that after 7yrs with Alltel (soon to be Verizon) I am truly disappointed with tech support for the very first time. A simple default setting needed to be changed ~sigh~
Hope this works for anyone else who is having issues ..specifically Alltel/Verizon.

Hi everyone.
I had the same issue. I am using a international unlocked Sprint phone on Etisalat in Dubai. I saw this post https://discussions.apple.com/message/20602020#20602020 from FernandezJay and tried it. He fixed my sms in the time it took to restore and restart the phone. Also now my FaceTime and Imessage both work through my Apple ID and my Dubai Phone Number.
Seriously guys. IT WORKS!

Cannot send SMS only imessages?

I updated my iPhone 4 to the new iOS 6 and I cannot send SMS only imessages

Sending as SMS to a non-iOS phone is enabled by default as long as SMS is provisioned by your carrier.
Settings > Messages > Send as SMS > ON is required if you want to SMS to an iOS device which has iMessage enabled but fails to connect.
Settings > Messages > Show Subject Field > irrelevant to whether SMS or iMessage is used, ony if you want a subject field sent with the message.

TS3899 Cannot send email with new iPad air. Works fine with old iPad and iPhone.

Cannot send email with new iPad air. Works fine with old iPad and iPhone. I have deleted account and reinstalled.

Thanks. I got the problem fixed. Spent time with the Apple folks and was kicked up to a senior advisor. It seems the problem was with my internet provider - Tmie Warner. Remember I could use the old ipad and the iphone to send mail. I checked all the specifics between the three units. It seems that TW is changing over from the RR.com to TWC.com. Since the new ipad air was just set up, it fell under the new TWC mail specifics.

I cannot send emails with pics using the stock email app on my new Droid Turbo, it holds them in the Outbox and won't send even if I move to Inbox and resend

First check to make sure you have data turned on and not just Wi-Fi. From reading your question you seem to be saying e mail is working just not attached photos. What size are the photos as some HD photos can't be sent. Your camera may be set at a very high picture size and you can go to settings and lower the size and that may solve your mailing problem.
