I can't send texts on my Nokia 5500 sport

I'm sure this is something really obvious, but I can ring out and receive call and texts, but every time I try to text, it tells me my message cannot be sent.
Please help

I had a similar problem when I first got my 5500. It came with an orange sim card but I wanted to use my existing vodafone sim which worked ok except it did not have the message center number on it and the phone's software did not provide a method of setting it!
Anyway, a nice man in the local Vodafone shop inserted the vodafone sim card from his phone into my 5500, visited the message center settings screen and that fixed the problem. It seems that the message centre number was read from the SIM card and the phone remembered it.

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.

Contact your cellular carrier. Text messages are a carrier function.

Can't Send Texts

I upgraded to this phone just before Christmas. It worked great until about two weeks ago - about a week after I got it. I can't send texts! I've tried while out in a 4LTE signal, 3G signal and we have a network extender at home and it won't work on any of them. Just immediately failed. I had a Droid X before and my daughter and husband have the X still and have NO issues. I don't get it. What the heck is going on? How do I fix this?? This is a major issue and if I can't find a resolution soon I'll be forced to go back to the Droid X. I need to have texting ability. Keep in mind: I receive texts just fine. I can receive/make calls with NO issues. It's only for me sending a text and it doesn't matter to who it is, or what signal I have (even full 4LTE results in fails constantly). Any help?

I thank you great for your reply. I had decided to use the chat option when I found it through your site. I chatted with a Carlos and he was wonderful. It was something in the network, I guess, and once he reset it, it has been working perfect since. I’m very very happy with it.
Thank you so much, again.

Can't send texts to one particular friend, texts work one-way, phone calls work both way

For about a bit more than a month now, one particular friend (and just one, as far as I can tell) has not been receiving my text messages. He can send me texts messages and we are able to call each other. The texts emitted from my phone however, don't seem to go through. I have no indication that the text has not been delivered (no red exclamation point next to it). This particular person is not using an iPhone for this particular phone number.
I am using an iPhone 4 (32GB) running iOS 7.1.2.
I have tried many different things.
(1) I have checked that this friend was not in my block list. The block list is empty. But even if that person were in my block list, would I be able to receive texts and call? I have tried adding that person to the block list then sending a text. Then removing that person from the block list and texting again.
(2) Yesterday I have restored my phone from a backup. I then erased completely the (long) text exchange between me and this friend, waited for the phone to process the deletion and tried again to send a text. I then deleted the entire contact information of this friend. And then I texted the phone number.
None of these steps have worked. I'm very puzzled.
Has anyone ever been confronted to an issue like this one?

This friend has an iPhone and I can iMessage him on his other phone numbers (he has three). For a short time the Sim card attached to this phone number was inside an iPhone and we did iMessage each other but that was almost a year ago (April 2014). That sim card is now in an ordinary phone (not a smartphone, not an iPhone). We reverted back to texting for a long while. It only began to act strangely on January of this year.
On that friend's contact card, 2 of the numbers (the ones attached to his iPhone) have blue bubbles next to them. The number I can't send texts to doesn't have that blue bubble - meaning that the number doesn't have iMessage capabilities, right?

I can't send texts to India, all other countries OK, not SIM fault?

My iphone 3gs was sending texts to India up until about May and then the messages were not getting through but I was still charged for them. Vodafone sent me a new SIM but it still didn't work, so they put my SIM in another phone and the text got through to India. I can call India (same number) without a problem. I can also send texts to Male in th Maldives just it seems not to India (three separate contacts). Can anyone help please?

I've just realised, further to my earlier question - that the people I am trying to text do not have Iphones? Could this make a difference? (Although I have text them in the past)

I can't send texts to some contacts in my iphone 4s. This is a recent problem, as previously all texts would send. The red exclamation mark appears and 'not 'delivered' shows on screen.

First time I've used this discussion forum, so may be posting problem twice! I can't send texts to some contacts in my iphone 4s. This is a recent problem, as previously I could send texts whenever I wanted. The exclamation mark and "not delivered' shows on screen when I ry and text certain people. I know for a fact that my number is not blocked by the receipients?

Can't send text to a certain international phone number.

I've been having trouble sending a message to an internaional number on my Iphone 4S IOS 5.0.0. I can call this person, and receive texts from this person, but i'm not able to send.
I can also send texts to other numbers from the same country.
However i was able to send texts to this person before, but now after the sending bar completes, an exclamation mark appears next to the message like this: and on my message list, it says : Message Send Failure.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem - after upgrading to ios 6.1 can't text my son all of a sudden, everyone else on my contact list is fine. Nothing to do with phone provider as it worked fine before. Please can anyone help?

Can't send text

could someone help me with my problem, I can't send text message, please

Do you have Messages 'on' Settings>Messages slide to right and should be green. Also you should have SMS 'On', MMS 'On' Send and Receive should have your correct number and email address if you want with a check mark to their left. You may want Group Messages set 'On'.

No connection? only searches? Can't send Texts?

I have two 4S Iphones, one can't send texts (but everything else works) and the other one works on wi-fi, but continues to serah with no connection. The carrier is Verizon and both phones are on the same account.
[email protected]

Texts as in SMS/MMS are exchanged through your carrier's cellular network, and if the other iPhone is unable to access the internet via Verizon's cellular network and/or connect to their network for calls or text messages, if no change after powering each iPhone off and on, contact Verizon.

Can't send texts to one person but can receive from them

I am having problems sending text messages to a single number, which is also on Verizon, although I can receive texts from that number just fine. When I try to send to them, or respond to the ones I get from them, it shows up as sent on my phone like everything is fine. The other person never gets the message though.
I have checked and they are not blocked. I can make and receive calls to this person and I can receive texts from them. It's just I can not send texts to them although my phone says they are sent.
So far it's only this one phone number that is affected. I can text my other contacts just fine.
I have tried taking out the battery. I tried calling *228 and my phone just says "Call not sent". I'm on a Galaxy Nexus.
Any other ideas that I can try myself or am I down to having to go stop in a store and see what they can do about it?

I tried adding a 1 before the area code but I have yet to get a response but I'm at work right now so I will call and check if the person got it when I go out for lunch. I will update on whether or not that worked.
I doubt the person blocked me for multiple reasons. 1 - I live with them, we get along great and we normally text each other daily while at work. 2 - I have had someone on my account block a friend of mine before as a joke and when that person was blocked and tried to text me it told them it couldn't send. It didn't just say sent and never make it. And as I said, this person is also on Verizon so I assume it would work the same if they blocked someone.
