N90/N93 Can't Send SMS

Hi
Phone: Nokia N90 and N93.
I can't send SMS from my SIM card.
1. I get the error "Check network services".
2. Called the MTN call centre three times, and the network settings are correct.
3. Changed to a new N93 and got same problem.
4. Changed the bearer to GSM instead of 3G, still same problem.
5. When I take my SIM card and put it another phone, a motorola 2G type phone, the SMS works.
What is wrong, is there something on my SIM?

Hi
I got the same error message after upgrading from 2G 6230i to 3G N93i, I called Vodafone CS and they said its one of two problems:
1. In the Text Message Options change the Preferred Connection to GSM/UMTS rather than Packet Data.
2. SIM card is too old and needs to be replaced. (that was my case, I even couldn’t believe it because I could send MMS which is a later technology but couldn’t send the primitive SMS)
Hope this helps.

I can't send sms to people not in the address book!

Hi,
I've just bought an iPhone 5s and noticed today that I can't send sms (or imessage) to people that isn't in my address book!
If I put the contact in the address book there's no longer a problem, and if I take it away again - it's a problem again.
I'm out country if that have anything to do with it (gonna try again when home of course), but I've tried everything with the country code and it just doesn't work unless the contact is in the address book.
Is it bugs in the system or just me?

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)

You can't send SMS or text messages to a non-Apple phone (such as an Android, Windows, or BlackBerry phone), because the messages are sent as iMessage

Yes, you can. I do it many, many times a day. If you're trying to send a message to someone who used to have an iPhone and who didn't disable iMessage before switching phones, they will need to unregister their number with iMessage:

You also need to have SMS enabled with your carrier to send messages to non-iPhones.

I can't send SMS from iPhone 5 sprint

Not sure what's going on here. Can't send SMS. iMessage works. SMS doesn't work when I try to text non iPhone users. Anyone else having this issue?

You do NOT have an "unlocked" phone. You have a Sprint phone. It can not be completely unlocked.
If you think there is something wrong, then either talk to your carrier about the problem or bring it back to the U.S. and have it serviced.

I can't send SMS (from Greece) with my iPhone 4 to USA. I mean that i send it but they don't receive it and i don't receive their SMS. Could please anybody help me?

That's more likely to be a carrier issue than an iPhone issue. You should each contact your respective carriers.

IPhone 5, I can't send sms to iPhones

Hello,
I'm on iPhone 5 IOS 8.1.
I can't send sms to another iPhone (undistributed message). IMessage is working and I can also send sms to other phones.
On settings/messages, sms are activated when imessage turns off.
I need help, how can I fix it ?
KR,
lrllt.

Hey there lrllt,
Since SMS works to phones other than this one, we should be able to resolve that on the phone. First check to see that your phone number is set to start new conversations, rather than your iCloud email address.
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
If your iMessages didn't transmit as SMS when iMessage was unavailable for use
Go to Settings > Messages > Send as SMS and turn on Send as SMS.
Select your phone number when Sending iMessages in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start New Conversations From.
Make sure that you can send SMS with Settings > iMessage turned off.
If that is not the issue, then use these steps from the same article:
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact from the Contacts app. Send a new message to the contact.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

Can't send sms from ipad mini

can't send sms from ipad mini

Correct; your iPad mini is not a cellular telephone.
You can send and receive iMessages to/from other Apple devices, but you cannot send or receive text messages.
From the Manual:
Using the Messages app and the built-in iMessage service, you can send unlimited text messages over Wi-Fi or cellular data connections to other iOS and OS X Mountain Lion users. Messages
can include photos, videos, and other info. You can see when other people are typing, and notify them when you’ve read their messages. iMessages are displayed on all of your iOS devices logged in to the same account, so you can start a conversation on one of your devices, and continue it on another device. iMessages are encrypted for security.

I can receive SMS but I can't send SMS

I have BB 8530 curve.
I can receive SMS message. But I can't send SMS I have wap data plane only the BIS plane not available in yemen and BB enterprise
And I wanna know is the mms available. In wap plan wap push and the bbm is it available. In wap plane please help me

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
From what I understand, some level of BB-proprietary plan is required in order for MMS to work, since MMS is actually enabled on the BB via Service Books, and those only arrive from actual BB data plans. But, you need to talk to the mobile service providers for specifics...but I would not, given your information, be hopeful of being able to have MMS.
Good luck!

Galaxy Nexus (jellybean) can't send SMS

This morning, out of the blue, I can't send text messages on my Nexus. I've tried using my preferred app (GOsms Pro) and the stock messaging app with same result. I've rebooted. I've pulled the battery and sim card. Still no luck. I can make phone calls no problem. Data usage for web and apps is working fine. Even tried changing network mode from LTE/CDMA to CDMA and back and still no luck. I love this phone, but this is greatly frustrating.
- keith

I've been having the same exact problem. It started this morning and it's still a problem now at 1:25am. I can't send sms messages on ANY of my text apps (GO, Handcent, and the stock text app.) I work in midtown manhattan and live in Queens. I've rebooted, battery pull, you name it, and still no fix. I can receive text messages, make calls, etc, but the phone simply wont send any messages. They stay showing "sending."
This isn't the first time this happened to me with this phone. Last time it happened, I took it to a vzw store they had me do a factory reset on the phone and it still didn't work. If this is the network, this is unacceptable. If this is the phone, this is the second time this year this has happened to me which is also completely unacceptable. It's getting beyond the point of simply doing factory resets all the time. Something needs to be fixed and it's either the network or my phone!!!
