N97 doesn't send text messages?

I purchased my N97 on release date, and up until now, it has been texting fine, however, as of yesterday I have been unable to send text messages and when I attempt to, they just sit in the outbox telling me to retry sending them later.
I can receive messages perfectly fine and I am on O2-UK, if that's any help?
Please could someone help? It's getting kind of annoying... 

This is an airtime supplier issue. Contact O2 and confirm they have not changed your contract settings and ask them to txt you the correct settings to your phone, have answered many posts on this subject, it is inevitably down to O2,Vodafone,Orange,T-moblile etc etc. They all seem to have been messing about with settings last few weeks, I had similar prob, and took 5 calls for someone to realize they had removed the service from my contract. Be persistant with them !
Good Luck

  • N97 - I cant send text messages! Help

    Hey guys,
    so I basically have this really weird problem. I have an unlocked Nokia N97 and got a sim card from ATT with unlimited texting. Everything was perfect, but two days ago I couldn't send text messages anymore, but I can still receive them. When I want to send a txt msg, it automatically goes into the outbox and says it will be resended later. My message center number is correct, so this is not the problem. I called ATT and they were like it is the phone problem because its not an ATT phone.
    Has anybody encountered the same kind of problemm with N97? Can anybody help me please?
    Thanks!!

    well from last 2 days i am also facing same prob, i am also using open n97, and using it from 4 5 months,  but suddenly i cant sent msg ? msg stays in the out box and didn't send, even i am receiving the sms and my mms is also working and going on,  but only cant send SMS. please help this is very annoying.. and i am using the latest update firmware. 
    i reset settings to factory default but it didnt solve my prob and then
    i reinstall the firmware again but still same prob,
    i check my sim car in different phone and its working fine.
    and i put other sim car in n97 then still its not sending any SMS. means there is some prob in N97 and not in sim cards.
    thanks. 

  • Why do text messages from my iPad appear to some people as if they came from my email address instead of my phone number? This does not happen when I send text messages from my iPhone.

    Why do text messages from my iPad appear to some people as if they came from my email address instead of my phone number? This does not happen when I send text messages from my iPhone.

    You need to link your iPhone number to Messages - and Facetime if you use it. For Messages go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at. If your phone number is showing there, select it as your Contact address. If it doesn't appear in there, take a look at the end of this article for help.

  • I can't use iphone5 China Mobile Network in China, unable to register activation, could not send text messages, not GPRS

    Dear Sir or Madam，
    As I bought my iPhone 5 (16GB,White) in the USA from Sprint, full price with tax,  unlocked ,it was excepted to be a global phone. But now I come across with some problems in China  using local carrier, everything is working properly except sending text message, and iMessage and Facetime also seem not to work.This is very serious for Apple and me! Will I have the chance to fix this?
    I tried all the possible solutions from the Internet, and the Official solution offered by Apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4459), but it doesn't seem to work.
    Will Apple help me with this issue? Please do.

    The Sprint iPhone 5 is NOT unlocked. The SIM slot can only be unlocked by Sprint for Sprint customers in good standing.
    How exactly, did you "unlock" the phone?  There are known issues with SMS on foreign networks.
    If the article you linked to did not fix it, you'll have to work with your carrier.
    The bottom line is, you should not have purchased a Sprint phone with the intent of using it without Sprint service.

    I had the same problem.  Kept getting message of waiting for activation or check network connections.  I also tried every solution out there and nothing worked.  This did though:  I download the newest version of itunes (through Internet Explorer - Google Chrome wouldn't work).  It pulled in my entire library thank goodness and then I plugged my iphone 4s into the computer.  I let itunes find it, did a complete backup in icloud, then did a restore.  Entire process took a couple of hours, but I now have imessage and facetime back.  I was about ready to give up on Apple and go get a different phone ~

  • TS2755 I cannot send text messages form my 4S iphone to other cell phones.

    I cannot send text messages to other cell phones.  Only iPhones accept the messages.

    check to see if you have SMS turned on in the message settings.
    IF that doesn't help contact your phone carrier as they handle messaging and see if they can help resolve the issue.

  • Cannot send text messages anymore

    I recently installed the iCloud update to my Iphone 4.  Now, I can no longer send text messages to friends with Blackberries.  I can only text people with Iphones.  I have reset the settings to factory, but the problem is still there.  Any suggestions? 

    I am having the same problem with my iPad. When I try to text someone who doesn't have an iPhone or an iPad, it won't allow me to send. The update bragged about free iMessages, but...blah, blah,blah.  Since I have an iPhone, I was already able to text EVERYONE, but now I can't.

  • My phone has stopped sending text messages to one specific number. It says it sends, but nothing arrives. Any tips?

    My 3G iPhone has stopped sending text messages to one specific number. It says its sent but it does not arrive. Any ideas?

    Are you seeing this problem when sending a SMS, MMS or iMessage? Does it go away if you disable MMS or iMessage in Settings > Messages?
    Make sure the phone number that you aren't able to send texts to has an area code.
    If that doesn't help, take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: Troubleshooting Messages

  • IPhone 5 Showing incorrect Time. Unable to send text messages.

    Ok here's my problem. My time on my iPhone is incorrect. I check my settings it's on automatic and it is set to my Hawaii time zone. I am unable to send text messages because I believe the time is not the same as the server. When I try to send a text it says Go to Date &amp; time settings. This happens at least once a day. My time would be incorrect for 10 mins then go back to correct time. This happens on LTE and on WiFi. I also have rebooted the iPhone. One last thing. I check my battery usage. It's says 4,294,967,278 days on Standby. I guess the time is messing up my stats. Anyone have the same problem? Please help. If not I hope new ios update fix this.

      My house is in an area that is covered by 3G.  But I work in an area that is 4G-LTE.  (Actually, my house is right on the border of these coverages because I notice it switching from 3G to LTE periodically.)
    Anyway, what I notice is that when I switch from the LTE to 3G network, my iPhone 5 clock gets corrupted.  It's 2h22m off.  Weird.  It doesn't do it right away, but after I'm home for awhile, I'll notice that the clock has been changed.  I know this corruption causes errors in my iMessage app because I've gotten an error message about it.  It may cause errors in others.
    Once I leave my house and go back into stable LTE coverage, I can do one of the following to correct the clock (because it won't autocorrect):
    - turn the phone off and then back on
    - go to Settings => General => Date&Time and switch "Set Automatically" off and then back on
    These fixes will also work if I stay in 3G coverage.
    This has happened every day since I got the phone so I know it's a real bug.  I'm sending a support request to Apple today.  Otherwise, however, I love my iPhone 5 and LTE speed makes all the difference.

  • Problems using Siri to send text message

    hi im having problems using Siri to send text messages on my iPhone 5.
    When i try to send a message using Siri to somebody who does not own a iPhone Siri defaults the message to a iMessage instead of a standard text message, which then causes a message failure because the other person does not have a iPhone.
    I have the setting turn on in the Messages setting to send as Text Message when iMessage is not avaliable but Siri still defaults the message to a iMessage and does not send it as a standard text message and results in a message failure.
    am i doing something wrong or am i missing something?

    Siri won't try to send an iMessage to a person who doesn't have a device with iMessage enabled.
    If you open Messages, and select the same person with the keypad it should default to Text and not iMessage.   That's exactly what will happen when Siri tries to send the message.
    I just tried this on my phone to someone who doesn't have an iPhone and it worked exactly that way. 

  • 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?

  • I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone.

    I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?
