"short message transfer rejected" when sending sms.

Hello
I recently moved back to Sweden from USA, while there I had a blackberry curve 8900 with Tmobile. Since I was moving and had proof, I broke from the contract and got an unlock pin for my phone so I could use it on any network. The phone was fine until I decided to plug the 8900 into the pc and upgrade the os to 5.xxxx or so. since then I've recieved that error message when trying to send sms. I would call my carrier but I'm in Sweden using pay as you go, so I'm not sure if I can do that.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Fair enough. OS 5.x isn't very reliable on the 8900 - there are a ton of known bugs with the phone. Its one of the reason RIM pushed it out only to carries demanding the software upgrade.
If needed you can obtain earlier releases of the OS and downgrade - just remember to kill the vendor file. On a flip-note, the Sweeden carrier won't know your outside Sweeden unless you tell them

Short Message Transfer Rejected

Why does my Blackberry not let me send messages to my dad? I can recieve , messages from him and phone him, but whenever I send a message to him, it comes up with a red 'X' and 'Short message transfer rejected'.
Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
If, by "Short Message Transfer", you mean SMS, then please contact your mobile service provider for assistance...SMS is 100% a carrier-provided service, their is nothing in the BB-proprietary services that is involved.
If, on the other hand, you meant some other messaging service, then please be explicit about what exactly that is.
Thanks and let us know!

Short Message Transfer Rejected for Bold 9780

There is one person in my contacts that I cannot text. It always comes up with a red x and says "Short message transfer rejected". The person can still text me, though, and I have no trouble calling the number. It only happens with this contact.
I have tried deleting the contact and re-adding, taking out the battery and sim card, but it doesn't work.
Can anyone help?
Solved!

Hi fireflyfishing
Make sure when you create the contact on your BlackBerry® smartphone, that their mobile number includes the area code. Most providers require the area code is used when sending SMS messages.
Thanks

"Network out of order" and "Short message transfer rejected"

Guys,
I have a BB 9300 3G Curve and I have trouble sending SMS. This is a peculiar problem since I
#1 am able to send an SMS problem free sometime
#2 get an error message saying "Network out of order"
#3 get an error message saying "Short message transfer rejected"
Plus, this problem is not specific to a particular contact number. I get different messages (1,2,3 above) for the same number at different times. I have tried putting my SIM in a different handset and it works perfectly fine.
Someone please HELP!

Simply try pulling out the battery and leaving it out for a couple minutes. Usually, that is the fix-all to glitches. If not, you should contact your wireless mobile provider and see if they can help you. Usually, they are very easy to get along with and want to help you. But I think the battery pulling out will help you. It's happened to me before and I had to do that.

Exclamation point and short message transfer rejected

I recieved a short message with an exclamation point, which I googled to be "urgent message", when I tried to reply I got "short message transfer rejected".
I know that the person messaging me is trying to keep his number secret, which is why I was surprised that he even texted me, could it be because of any of his settings?

Change sender's name when sending SMS

Dear Skype supporter,
I would like to use my name which is different from my skype name and forbid the message reply when sending SMS. Whether it works? I found I can either show my skype name or my mobile phone number when sending SMS. Look forward to your kind reply.
Thanks a lot.

We created a skype to send SMS to customers.
When receiving the SMS it currently shows an unknown phone number, is it possible to change this phone number into a company name? If so how can I do this?
Thank you.
Because SMS goes out over mobile phone networks, the messages must be sent from a number. Since Skype does not provide a way to receive SMS messages, the closest you can get to using your own number would be to set up a mobile number (except mobiles in Japan or Mexico) as Caller ID. Then your Skype SMS messages could carry your mobile number, providing a way for people to reply to your messages.

ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS. Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages. If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)). Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation. If that does not fix things read the following articles:

N80 phone locks up when sending SMS

Hi!
When I first got the phone I had no problems, but lately my phone has started locking up when I send a SMS message. It stays "locked" (nothing works and it doesn't react to pushing any bottons) for 2-3min until it sends the SMS. Anyone has a similar problem? It is very annoying since you can't use the phone during these 2-3 minutes
I'd appreciate any help

Hi people,
This may relate to all owners of S60 phones.
If you experience slow OS responses from your phone, it may be that you have too many applications running.
1. Press and hold the menu key, which will bring up the programs list.
2. Highlight the application you want to end and press "C"
I recommend ending all applications that are not being used. Please note, DO NOT end the "Standby" application as that refers to your phone.
Hope this helps.
Also a hard reset solved the problem on mine. Just make sure you have a back up of all the contacts etc and don't rely on the backup phone memory as my N80 doesn't do it. I had to restore using PCSuite.
Oh and you can't end Standby either it doen't do anything.
Is that an N95 in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?!?
Life's too important to take seriously.

Time lags when sending sms

hey gang, got 3250. and since past month its been acting wierd. when i try sending a message, it freezes for a while (1 full minute) and basically i cant do anything else while sending. and sometimes i cant even access the messages until i reboot the phone.
what i did:
updated the software using the online procedure.
took of battery and sim card, cleaned. placed them back
nothing happened. problem still occurs.
trying to restore to default settings, but its asking for password. i tried 1234 and 0000, unfortunatly didnt work.
can anybody provide me with the default password and additional troubleshooting methods. cuz honestly am fed up with this phone acting like a *****

i already did download the latest firmware from http://mea.nokia.com/A4346318
i cant find the sms accelerator that you recommended, if you can provide with link, that will be great.
and now that i installed the new firmware, its even acting more wierd. i cant assign speed dial.
is there a way to get rid of the whole software and reinstal the stuff again?

8350i: Invalid Service Center when sending SMS

Some time back I followed older posts about enabling the 8350i to copose SMS texts. Prior to that, menu options seemed to allow only MMS and not SMS. Those posts basically involved going into Options->SMS Text and changing the Data Coding to UCS2 and the Service Center to +Personal info removed (originally blank) followed by a battery pull. It all seemed to work find afterwards, that is SMS was then a menu option and sending/receiving SMS was working.
Many weeks have passed and now all of a sudden, I get an "Invalid Service Center" when I try to send an SMS. I can receive just fine but just can't send. I have attempted resetting the Data Coding and Service Center with no luck. Whenever I change the Service Center, it merely reverts back to +1personal info removed. I've tryied a Master Radio Reset with no luck as well.
Any help on what to do is appreciated.

Hey avni0302,
Sorry for the delay in response. Can you please tell me what version of device software you are running on your BlackBerry? Also are you still using the BlackBerry 9300?
Once I have this information I can do some testing.

Message from Gateway when sending on arch-general list with Mutt

Hello,
a second issue with Mutt. This only happens when I send or reply ( <L>) to arch general list. I do not know for other arch lists, as I didn't posted, but I do not have this issue with other lists or private mail.
When I send the mail, I receive a mail
FROM : Gateway
Subject : NDN:
Body :
Sorry. Your message could not be delivered to:
Kingeryj,FirstClass (The name was not found at the remote site. Check that the name has been entered correctly).
This is a little annoying. My first thought was this message came because of a list member wrong address. But wrong, as I am the only one with this message.
Maybe some headers issue? Here is my config about headers:
ignore * #ignore all headers
unignore from to cc date subject reply-to
hdr_order from subject date to cc reply-to
Nothing particular.
When I reply to list with <L>, here are my headers:
FROM : Arno gaboury <[email protected]>
To: [email protected]
CC:
Subject : Re : [arch-general] blah blah blah
In-reply-To <some numbers letters @email adress>
Host: Magnolia on Archlinux <------ My box
I do not see anything suspicious.
I use a gmail account with offlineimap + msmtp (my msmtprc is very basic).
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

I think almost every dev is on arch-general, so that is the place to contact the group in general. Specific points can probably be emailed to the dev involved, if one is identifiable and if the bug tracker is not a better place (bug reports to my email get ignored).
I think the whole problem here is that there is really no dev in charge of that package. So your emails were probably seen then skipped over by all devs thinking not my problem... (I know that is true for me). Then Andrea noticed an "orphan" package that needed updated and went ahead with it without connecting it to your previous emails, which is unfortunate.
Now our maintainer backend is fixed, hopefully we can get all the orphan packages adopted out, or at least know if we need to bring on new people to maintain them. That way, there should always be someone who information about specific packages should be sent to.

Messages: Broken links when sending from Mac to iOS

If I copy a link from Safari (right-click > Copy link) and send it with Messages on Mac it remains a clickable link with a link text (in the chat window).
The problem is if the recipient uses Messages on iOS he will only see the link text and cannot click on the link.
Is there a solution to this annoying bug?
The workaround I use is:
Copy the link from the clipboard into the chat input box. BEFORE sending rightclick on the link > "Copy link" and then insert from the clipboard again. This way you get the URL of the link which is always clickable (on Mac AND iOS).

Hi,
Over the years the various messaging services that there are have all done things related to sending Links with words as Hyperlinks.
The AIM service in particular had a very bad time with people putting malicious code in the link instead of just the URL.
The matter can be confused when some URLs are very long such as News websites and the like.
I use the same workaround as you (Send plain text URLs)
