Nokia 6300 Text Message Options

I own a Nokia 6300 which was Made in Hungary. It came with firmware revision version 5.00.
I only see 6 options in my Text Message Settings and nothing seems to resolve it. There's supposed to be 10 options. I contacted Nokia care centre and they suggested that I update the software which I did but to no avail.
I purchased my phone SIM free and completely unlocked. No provider touched my phone.
1. Message Centres
2. Msg. Centres in use
3. E-mail Msg. Centres
4. E-mail Centres in use (this option is
greyed out)
5. Use Packet Data
6. Character support
What should be there is:
1 delivery reports
2 message centres
3 msg centre in use
4 e-mail msg. centres
5 e-mail centre in use (greyed)
6 message validity
7 messages sent via
8 use packet data
9 character support
10 rep. via same centre
'Delivery reports, Message Validity, Rep. via same centre and messages sent via' are all missing from mine.
I have reseted my phone on several occasions but it makes no difference in that department. I updated it to 5.50 and still no difference. I'm out of ideas. Can anybody out there suggest anything to me that I haven't already tried ?
Thank you all.

Hello,
I've got the solution!!!
Okay - I spoke to Nokia - who advised me to speak to my SIM card provider (Orange). Orange said - 'This functionality is not supported by Orange on the 6300'.
But there is a way around this.
Borrow one of friends SIM cards (preferably a Vodafone) - insert the card, switch on the phone then go to the messaging menu:
Message Settings > Text Messages > Delivery Reports (set this to yes).
Then switch off the phone, stick your own SIM card back in the phone and switch it on.
If you now go back to the same menu - you will see that, there is no option to set Delivery Reports. However, when you now send a message - it will now indicate when a message is delivered.... JOB DONE :-)

Where is the "Send as Text Message" option?

This article: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2425311,00.asp indicates that clicking and holding on a sent iMessage in iOS 7 pops up a menu with the following three options: 'Copy', 'Send as Text Message' and 'More...'. On my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.0.4) I don't get the 'Send as Text Message' option. Why? Thanks.

Thanks. I tried to do this but the message goes out on iMessage instantaneously. No time to hold on it and select the 'Send as Text Message' option.
My problem is I am trying to send a message to someone's iPhone without a data plan. So, when the person is away and not connected to Wi-Fi, he or she will not receive my messages that go out on iMessage (and likely land on the person's other Apple devices at home). Combining iMessage with SMS seems like an error on Apple's side. Is there a workaround?

Can't open 'Text Messages' options window

Hi,
I'm trying to modify my text message options. In the message list window I press the Blacberry key, scroll down and select 'options' - the options page pops up for about a second, and then I'm taken back to message list.
I'm able to open email and other options windows without an issue - this only happens for text message options. Any ideas?
(I've just tried software update and have been told I have the latest)
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Best!

Text Message Options

Some of my friends have 2 or 3 numbers.. My problem is, if they send me a text message, i dont know which number they used, is there any option to display contact number or message detail?
im running 10.0.9.348

It would be nice to know , hopefully future release would add that..

Text message options LG Revolution

I am just trying to understand what a symbol means. I'm thinking that I just recently changed settings to "Request a deliver report for each message you send". When I send a text to someone who is in my contacts but not a verizon customer there is a symbol at bottom of message on right that is a green message box and it has a clock over it. I'm not sure what this means. Message says sent but when I check the message options and "view report" it says for status "pending". So how do I interpret this?? Does it mean message never received by recipient?? Thanks for help.

I know delivery confirmations can be a great way to check if those important messages are getting through peaches1965! Are you receiving the same pending status for Verizon Wireless numbers? For non-Verizon Wireless numbers, delivery confirmation is not guarantee due to carrier network differences. I hope this general information was helpful.

Nokia 6300 - Instant Messaging icon/functionality ...

Hi everybody,
I'm from Canada, and just bought a Nokia 6300 brand new a few days ago. This morning, I went on my phone to change the wallpaper, and for a second, the phone blinked and changed back to the default provider theme. I then changed back the wallpaper, but when I go into the menu, my instant messaging icon is not there anymore. Obviously, restarting the phone didn't solve the problem.
I don't know if anybody got this problem before. I've seen other functionalities missing like Calculator and Email and such, so maybe it's a software fault. Anyone can advise how to fix this problem? Is this a good phone or I just see the problems with it?
My firmware version is 4.71 28/02/2007.
Thanks in advance for your help.

It seems like your phones software has gone a bit corrupted. Please update it with the Nokia Software Updater. This should solve your problem, if not then you need to take the phone to a Nokia Service Center.

Nokia 6300 multimedia messaging

I live in Dubai which a du Nokia 6300 phone. I have downloaded the mms settings but cannot send multimedia messages to or receive multimedia messages from the UK. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Check if your local ISP supports MMS messaging(send/received, or received only whatever) to other ISP(abroad) or local only, & if the local ISP have an agreement with the ISP's in UK regarding MMS.

Load earlier text messages option

Help! Previously I remember using an option at the top of my text conversation screen to "Load earlier text messages" This option now seems to have disappeared.... Any ideas?
Thanks

The option is there only if there are more text messages. It says "Load Earlier Messages".
Did you restore your phone recently, maybe losing the previous messages?

Help with text message options

Is there a way to adjust the size of the text in text messages on my Curve 8530? Or maybe make them bold or change colors? I've tried other apps that let you do this but I really like the way the native SMS works. Thanks for any help.
Got my first ever Blackberry on 8/10/2010
Curve 8530

1. Put a 0 somewhere in your sheet.
2. CTRL+C in this 0 cell.
3. Select the column(s) which you want to convert to number.
4. Paste Special > Add (under operation section)
5. Now, this will convert that column completely to Numeric even if something is left out in your manual method.
6. You may delete the 0 which you put in step 1.
7. Make sure that lookup value is also numeric.

Nokia 6300 error message when trying to connect to...

Hello
I have owned a Nokia 6300 for several months and have been successfully backing up my phone book data etc via the PC Suite.
However I have attempted to connect recently and the software does not recognise the phone stating:
"There is a problem installing this hardware: Nokia 6300. An error occurred during the installation of the device. The name is already in use either as a service name or a service display name."
I have uninstalled the PC Suite but still get the same error.
I would be very grateful if anyone could assist please. Thanks
Dave

If you are getting this kind of error:
"An error occurred in the installation of this device. The name is already in use as either a service name or a service display name."
Try this (instructions are closely based on Microsoft's similar instructions for some modems):
1. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. Click the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager.
3. In Device Manager, expand Wireless Communication Devices, uninstall all items related to your phone.
4. Close Device Manager.
5. Uninstall PC Suite AND PC Connectivity Solution AND especially Nokia USB drivers
6. Click Start, click Run, type msconfig, and then click OK.
7. On the General tab, click Diagnostic Startup - load basic devices and services only.
8. Restart your computer.
9. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
10. Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services, and then look for registry
entries specific to your phone. In practise search for "Nokia" and delete all keys
where there are values something like "Nokia USB...".
Under same key there is path to some driver file, typically pointing to (C:\Windows\) system32/Drivers/nmw???.sys
Delete also those files from Drivers folder.
11. Click Start, click Run, type msconfig, and then click OK.
12. Click the Services tab, and then click to select each service check box.
13. Restart your computer.
14. Install PC Suite (including Connectivity Solution and USB drivers)
15. Plug your phone - now Windows should found and install your drivers normally.
Remember: Use these instructions at Your Own Risk!

Nokia 3250 text messaging problems

Hi I have a Nokia 3250 and have been experiencing problems when send SMS / MMS messages. The first 3250 I had started going funny after a week or so whereby you when you have written your message and clicked for it to send the sending message box would come up but if a button was pressed it would freeze and even if no button was pressed it wold take anything up to a minute to actually send the message and then allow you to carry on using the phone. I was told this may be a software problem and another new handset was sent to me. At first this worked fine but now the phone is only a week old it has started developing the same fautl, although not as bad as the first it still freezes and wont allow anything to be done on the phone until the message gets sent. I have tried the sim card in a Motorola and it works fine (the sim is only 2-months old). Has anyone else experienced this on the 3250????

Dear
i just purchased nokia 3250 before 2 weeks and experiemced the same problem as mentioned by you, 1st i ignor it thought may set has slow processing speed as it is with some sets but one of my colleagues has same model and his set is perfactly allright.
SAd
i talked with the dealer he said just submit is he will send it to company and reinstall the software or do anyother thing if necessary to solve the problem.

Transferring Nokia 6300 texts onto PC

I have no trouble tranferring Texts vis PC Suite but it files them in a format (.nbu)that cannot be manipulated. Using Nokia Suite 7.1 how do I save the texts in normal format?
I use the mobile for a great number of texts and conversations using texts. I therefore wish to transfer to my PC, using Nokia Suite, all the RECEIVED texts and the SENT texts onto an EXEL spread sheet. I can then paste the smaller on to the larger and use the SORT command to put them all in order i.e. what text did I receive as a reply to a SENT text - ALL IN STRICT CHRONOLOGICAL order. How can I do this? I am pulling my hair out trying to find how to do this witj PC Suite.

HI
If you have installed MS-Office On your PC,simply you can transfer your text according to their date,time,.....
So you have to check it on MS-Outlook.Then you can do it easily.

Nokia 6300 - Multimedia Messaging - Video

Hi all
Wondering if I can get some help. I have the 6300 with current software v 04.71.
My issue is that I can record videos on my phone, but when they are sent it just comes through as a PXT message on anyones phone that I send to. I have tested with friends on different networks and same network but no difference.
I send a video to myself and it works (which is according to the network provider - "the test" to make sure everything is working). I receive a video from a friend and can view that with no issues and I can send that on and it works no problem at the other end. It seems to be just videos that are recorded on my phone do not work. But they do play when viewed on my phone. I have checked my setting in comparison to a friend on same network but all the same.
Can anyone help?
