Sending Text in UK

I think I must be stupid but this has me beat at the moment. I'm trying to send a text to a competition line. The kind that only uses 5 numbers like 82299. But every time I try I keep getting told that the message failed to send as all numbers in the UK start with 07 How do I fix this?If it helps I'm using Chomp SMS and a Google Nexus 5 phone on EE PAYG If all numbers in the UK start with 07 then why do competition lines like this not start with it??  Cheers in advance everyone

Hey , Very strange! It should work for you without a problem. I've donated to charities before via SMS using similar numbers, so I'm not too sure why it's happening to you. Have you been able to text those kinds of numers in the past? Can you try texting 'UP' to 150 (just as a test, to see if that service works for you)? Cheers,
Titanium P.S - Good luck in the competition if you're able to enter!!

    My wife recently switched from an iPhone to a Samsung and she can send texts but she can't receive them nor receive emails. Her iPhone has had her info removed and the settings have all been set to default. What else does she need to do to correct this?

    If you move to another phone and forget to turn off iMessage then read “if you no longer have the device in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661  If you still cannot resolve it call Apple http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • Receiving iMessage but sending text to known iPhone

    I am receiving text from a contact that is registered with iMessage. The incoming messages are iMessage but when i send out, it will only send text. My phone does not seem to register this contact as iMessage to send to. I am in the same group MMS with that contact. All contacts in that group have iPhones and use iMessage. It shows that messages sent from every user is iMessage but mine sends out text because it recognizes one of the contacts as a non-iMessage user although i receive iMessage from them. Please help

    I am having this same problem too, my friend just got her iPhone, and her messages to me are coming as iMessage but my outgoing to her are text?  I can send messages to her from my iPads fine, but the phone is the issue and when I go to the iPad conversations, of course the messages sent from my phone are missing.  I can send other users iMessages just fine....this is driving me crazy.

  • 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 have a bit more than 30 messages on this forum, and my experience says that many people do not post in the board that matches their device. So it's a good idea to make sure.

  • My iPhone 5 won't send texts without wifi, even when I have 4G. It also won't make calls. Any ideas?

    My iPhone 5 won't send texts without wifi, even when I have 4G. It also won't make calls. Any ideas?

    Do you have a cellular plan with data and SMS activated?

  • I can make calls and send text messages on my new iPhone 5, but incoming calls and texts still go to my old (non-Apple) phone. Is this a problem with the phone set up, or is it a problem with my old carrier or my new carrier?

    I can make calls and send texts on my new iPhone 5,  but all incoming calls and texts are received by my old (non-Apple) phone.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Won't Send Texts and Now Won't Make Calls... Claims No Service

    The other day my phone wasn't sending text messages, I could recieve them and make calls but no one was getting my messages I sent to them.  I've had this problem before and it would usually just correct itself, annoying, but it would.  Well it went on for two full days so I called and did the *228 and reprogrammed my phone.  And yes, I tried taking out the battery also and it didn't work.  It seemed to work after the reprogramming though.  Then the next morning, today, not only did my phone not send messages, after it had been working just fine, but it would not make calls either.  I couldn't even dial *228 without the call being dropped.  A message pops up every few minutes saying messages couldn't be sent and would be sent once service became available.  My phone has no service whatsoever, bars pop up for a second or two and then goes back to absolutely ZERO service.  This is very strange considering I live in a pretty decent service area, have never had issues with it before, and everyone else around here has Verizon as well and haven't had any issues.  On top of this, with my phone constantly searching for service, the battery ran out a lot faster than normal so I turned my phone off, since it was pretty much useless anyways.  Well, good thing I did because while it was one it was sending the text message I sent to my boyfriend this morning, before I'd realized my phone was having issues, over and over.  He recieved well over 100 duplicate messages.  And even when I turn my phone back on it keeps sending the message to him... even though on my end it still says no service and that none of my texts from today have sent and will be sent when service becomes available.  I called Verizon today and the woman I spoke with, while very nice, seemed clueless about my issue and tried to walk me through some troubleshooting she was just reading off of something and she herself didn't even know what she was telling me to do or what the benefit of it was.  When I finally said I was on my break at work and had to get back inside, she informed me she was just going over the basic troubleshooting and I could talk to Tech Support and they could further assist me.  I didn't have any time to stay on the phone then since it had already been 20 minutes that got me nowhere.  My issue now is I don't have a phone to even call Tech Support to try and figure out what's going because I was using a friends at work.  So long story short, my phone claims to not be able to send any messages but has sent over 100 messages to my boyfriend (and God knows who else who just hasn't told me), my phone won't make any calls without dropping them after a second, and my phone has no service even in good service areas... and all of these issues just came out of nowhere and my phone is pretty much unusable at the moment.  What I want to know is if there is anyway to fix this problem... or if I am just going to have to suck it up and get a new phone?  Thank you, I definitely appreciate the help.

    Restart the phone by holding down the top/power button and the Home button at the same time until the device restarts.
    Log on to your My Verizon account and select "Activate Device".

    It takes two to tango, maybe it's your recipient that has weak Internet/Cellular connections.

  • 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?

  • Iphone 4s-when wifi is off and I am away from my home connection can I receive and send texts and text messages?  I want to keep my wifi off to limit data (email etc) to when I want to check it.  Cellular is roaming"voice only" it says.Can I get texts?

    When my wifi is off and I'm away from my home connection - it shows wifi off (unless I turn it on to check my email etc.) - and in the settings cellular it shows "voice only". Will I be able to receive and send texts in those settings?  Or check voicemail.  I had wanted to keep my email from coming in all the time and only want to check it periodically - so I turn ON my wifi when I want to check my email.  But when my wifi was off away from home- I hadn't seemed to be getting my texts.  So- do I need to keep wifi roaming connected when away from home to receive and send my texts in real time.  (which is what I want) or am I still able to send and receive texts with my wifi off when I'm away from home.  (When I'm home I am connected to my home data plan automatically through wifi and I get texts when I'm home - but I'm thinking I'm not getting texts in real time - is it because my wifi is off when I'm away from home?  My cellular shows voice only when my wifi is off away from home.  Am I doing it right to receive and send texts away from home?  Or do I need to open up the wifi in order to receive and send text messages.  I know that I would need to turn on wifi roaming - which will use data - for email checking or sending - as well as to use browsing apps and now I'm guessing to receive voice messages I may have missed?  So do I need wifi on to receive texts too?  Thank you - GregorySC

    Hello GregorySC,
    In order to send and receive SMS or MMS messages, you will need to have an active cellular data or Wi-Fi connection.
    You will need these to send and receive iMessages:
    An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    iOS 5.0 or later
    A cellular data connection or a Wi-Fi connection
    A phone number or Apple ID registered with iMessage in Settings > Messages

  • How to create a "Group" to send texts to easily?

    I'd like to create a "Group" with a name that would be easily available to send text messages to - without having to enter individual contacts each time I text.  Seems simple enough, but there's no place in "contacts" to "Create a Group".  Any suggestions will be appreciated!

    You would have to use an app for that.  Some will create groups and allow you to send sms messages to the entire group (such as Speed Names).
