Nokia N8 failing to send SMS, saving to outbox

Hey
For the last week my N8 is not sending sms messages and is saving them in my outbox but not trying to resend them again.
Does anyone know a fix for this apart from a Hard Reset?

Hi frogstomper,
Welcome to Nokia Discussions.
Please go to Menu > Messaging > Options (three horizontal lines) > Settings > Text message > Message centres and check if the set number (if any) is your operator's message centre number.
You need this number to be configured correctly in order to send text messages, so please contact your operator for the correct number and check in the settings if it's set correctly. 
Let me know how you get on.

    P.S. A bit surprising that you have been on this Forum for almost 3 years now but the other 2 posts (out of total 3) are also related to the same problem on another device..( Reference : THIS thread) . Did you ever manage to resolve that earlier issue ? 

  • My Nokia message fails to send after reinstall of ...

    Hi there,
    I'm posting to ask whether anybody has encountered this issue and whether anyone knows of any fixes to fix this issue. After doing a reinstall of the phone's firmware as mentioned in another post on the forum, the My Nokia message keeps failing to send and keeps getting stuck in my Outbox, I'm able to send other messages in which some contacts are able to receive them whereas some of them can't for some strange reason and don't arrive in which I am trying to resolve this problem. The SIM I currently have in the phone is a Lycamobile micro SIM which is converted into a full sized SIM using a micro to full SIM converter, could this be the culprit of the problem? I've tried this method for many months and have only encountered 1 person not receiving a message for me but this was a one off though and hasn't happened for a couple of months, this was when I was test trialing Vodafone as I currently own many free SIMs and want to try them all out on the various phones I currently own over 2 to 3 years in order to test signal coverage across many places I travel on a regular basis such as Manchester, Carlisle etc. Your continuous help would be much appreciated.
    Kind regards,

    Hi EAaspa,
    I checked the signal strength on my phone screen and it has full bars displaying, I have even moved to another area to get better reception and still the same happens as before. I've also checked the message centre settings on my phone with my network operator and they are correct. I have also sent a text message to my own phone number and the text was sent and received fine. I do recall Vodafone sending out a text on Tuesday to one of my Vodafone mobile numbers (presume the same applies to all Vodafone numbers) saying "We're upgrading the network in your area. This means there may be around 2-3 days disruption over the next 6 weeks. We're sorry for any inconvenience caused and we'll let you know when the work's complete. For more information on the network in your area, see our coverage checker at http://vdfn.co/pe5ka". I know the person who I have been trying to send texts to is on Vodafone and lives in a rural area where she needs to use a Vodafone Signal box to provide a phone signal for her phone, it could be possibly be this causing problems but the weird thing is though that I am able to send texts from my Lycamobile number to one of my Vodafone mobile numbers and from my Vodafone mobile number to my Lycamobile and both send and receive texts fine whereas if I send her texts from my Lycamobile number to her mobile number she doesn't receive them at all even though the phone says they were sent properly i.e. disappear from Outbox and generate copies in the sent items whereas if she sends texts from her mobile number to my Lycamobile number I receive them fine?
    With regards to the My Nokia message problem I think the 84000 number no longer works as Microsoft have been making changes to their servers including the old Nokia servers where they have been turning off SSL 3.0 and enabling TLS 1.0 instead due to a number of security breaches happening on various websites this year in particular as I have noticed this on quite a number of websites and prevented me from logging into Nokia Suite 3.8 on a few of our PCs, I resolved this by using the following link http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Online-services-fr​om-Nokia-Nokia/Can-t-sign-in-to-Nokia-account-via-​... I'll confirm whether the 84000 number works for My Nokia messages as soon as I have sometime to test this on my other Nokia 5230 after doing a soft reset, hard reset and reinstall.
    Anyway thank you for responding to my forum thread and for suggesting fixes on how to resolve my problem, and I'll keep you informed of how I get on.
    Kind regards,

  • Send SMS from Android tablet via Nokia phone using...

    Hi
    On my Windows PC I frequently use Nokia PC Suite to send SMS messages by linking to my old Nokia 6230i using bluetooth. So much quicker to type using a keyboard.
    Having now bought an Android tablet I've been looking for an app that would let me do the same, again using bluetooth to connect to the Nokia 6230i to send the SMS. But I've not found one.
    I've search this forum for someone looking for a similar solution and also searched the google play, again without luck.
    If anyone knows a solution then I love to hear about it.

    PS Had to register again on this forum, probably because it's been a long time since I visited

    Hi, Alan_UK2. The PC suite can only be downloaded only your PC. Since this is a third-party OS, you may check if they have an available application for your tablet that has the feature you are looking for.

  • Can,t send sms with nokia 3250

    please help.i am failing to send an sms with my nokia 3250.the problem only started recently but i was able to send sms before.if i send an sms it will say resend at maybe 3 to 4 minutes later. when the time comes it will say unable to send message. i installed sms accelerator but nothing changed. i verified the message center number but i still have the problem.pliz help me.

    Hi,
    Check the "Message validity" for the period that you
    have set for resending messages. If it's short, set
    it to "Maximum time". This will enable the Message
    center to keep resending the mesages.
    I hope this will solve the issue.
    Regards.

  • Problem with sending sms - nokia x3

    Hello,
    I've got a problem with sending sms in my nokia x3 - actually with recently used number. I sent messages, but the list is the same. There is only one number although I used many more. I removed this number from the list, but is still here. I also tried to turn off the phone and pull out the battery, restart factory setting but there's no change.
    Could somebody help me, please?
    p.s. Sorry, but my english isn't well. I hope the post is understood

    Check if there is any relation with the LOG... When you clear the log.. (selecting ALL).. is it removing details from the RECENTLY USED too...
    To confirm this select Clear Log.. and check if that one no. you are talking about still remains or not.. If its no more there means you must have cleared the log just before using the last no. that is appearing..

  • Nokia N95 not able to send sms.

    My nokia N95 is unable to send sms messages. The screen is saying "general memory is full, close some applications and try again". Have deleted all messages from inbox, outbox, photos, etc. But is still not able to send. I am able to recieve sms and calls. Don't understand where to find 'general memory'??? Can anyone help me please?? It has been like this for a week. Thanks

    Check in File Manager where your phone thinks memory is being taken up (Options>Memory details) - this will tell you if you have large amounts of memory taken up by thing which can be moved to memory card (such as photos, videos, music files etc.)
    If this is not the case, make a backup of your personal stuff (contacts, messages etc.) using PC Suite, leaving out anything that you don't need and also leaving out settings; then reformat your phone with the code *#7370# - the phone will ask you for confirm, then enter the lock code (12345 if you haven't changed it from standard) then shut down and restart - you should be able to send again after this. You can then restore your personal datat to the phone.

  • Having problems in sending email..always saved in outbox and cannot send mail bcoz of the server failed

    Having problems in sending email..always saved in outbox and cannot send bcoz of server failed

    The email server you are using to send mail through requires the password, if any is required it needs to be set in the location that I pointed out in the earlier post.
    It is usually the same password you use for receiving emails.
    I don't use either Facebook or Twitter so I am not sure how to help with those.

  • Send SMS using CL_BCS fail

    Hi
    I have created a HTTP node in SCOT called SMS for sending SMS's to customers. In my program I use class CL_BCS to send the message. But the message is never sent. In SOST I see the error: Cannot process message, no route from <user> to <phone number>. I think the reason is that in SCOT (System Status) the messages are under PAG but not in my node 'SMS' as I expected but in W/o nodes. Any ideas why the message is not correct node?
    CODE:
      CALL METHOD CL_BCS=>CREATE_PERSISTENT
        RECEIVING
          RESULT = lr_sms.
      CALL METHOD CL_DOCUMENT_BCS=>CREATE_DOCUMENT
        EXPORTING
          I_TYPE        = 'RAW'
          I_SUBJECT     = 'TEST'
          I_TEXT        = lt_text
        RECEIVING
          RESULT        = lr_document.
      l_sms_num = i_mobile.
      CALL METHOD CL_CAM_ADDRESS_BCS=>CREATE_SMS_ADDRESS
        EXPORTING
          I_SERVICE = 'SMS'
          I_NUMBER  = l_sms_num
        RECEIVING
          RESULT    = lr_rec
      CALL METHOD lr_sms->ADD_RECIPIENT
        EXPORTING
          I_RECIPIENT = lr_rec
          I_EXPRESS   = 'X'.
      CALL METHOD lr_sms->SET_DOCUMENT
        EXPORTING
          I_DOCUMENT = lr_document.
      CALL METHOD lr_SMS->SEND
        RECEIVING
          RESULT = l_bool.
    I've made sure that settings in SA14 are maintained: Pager Service = SMS, USE = SMS Service

    thank you for looking into this thread,
    i have configured the in scot.
    currently sending all RAW type as TXT. this has resolved my issues.

  • Sending SMS via Bluetooth not working

    Hi,
    I have two Nokia phones, an N73 and an older 6600. I was able to pair both with the Bluetooth in my MacBook Pro SR.
    I can access the web via dial-up networking, so that's working fine.
    However, I am unable to send SMS via AddressBook over the phone. When I click the little connect-to-bluetooth button in AddressBook, I am first asked to pair the phone - even though it's already paired, and connects automatically on both the computer and the phone. Then, when I do enter the code on the phone, the connection just fails. The button gets a slight blue outline but the B symbol doesn't actually light up as it should.
    Send SMS remains grayed out.
    Has anybody got this to work or know what could be wrong?
    PS: I am able to send SMS on Windows using MS SMS Sender, so I am sure that it's not the phone's fault.
    This worked fine with my Titanium Powerbook with USB Bluetooth dongle.

    Thanks for the response, but that's not it. The N73 is listed as supported, and iSync works perfectly well. Dial-Up networking also works perfectly well.
    Only sending SMS via bluetooth doesn't work.
    Also - no idea if this is related - faxing via the 6600 doesn't work anymore, which is strange because it used to work on the TiBook. Most people don't even know you can fax via Bluetooth phone and most newer phones have lost this capability so I guess this is just on its way out. Too bad because it was pretty useful...

  • Send sms from mobile to mobile via bluetooth

    Hey guys,
    How do you send a single sms or en masse to another mobile?
    The option is there for all other files eg photos, videos and pdf etc
    All of my old nokia mobiles could do this but it appears not the N8....
    Why has this option been removed or is there anotherway of doing it?
    any help appreciated

  • Trouble in sending sms from E50

    I m using Nokia E50. Some sort of driver or software problem occured due to which i cant send sms. Whenever try to send it automaticaly gets on resend time and then after couple of tries failed. Every other function is working properly. I m receiving sms, receiving calls, making calls, using GPRS also and using softwares. But only cant send sms. Few folders also changed there icons and now looks as a simple folder icon.
    What possible caused it and what next i should do?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    back up all your data via pc suite if possible. yes you can try to troubleshoot on your own first.
    take out your sim card and put in *#7780# to restore factory settings. you should not lose any data, but all settings will go into default. try that first.
    the second option is a reset *#7730# this one will erase all of your data, 'wipe the phone clean' and restore to factory settings. see if any of these options work and if you are able to use your phone as you like/need to.
    also check if your firmware is up to date via Nokia software updater. if you don't already have it, you can download it from Nokia site.
