SMS failed

My current skype version is 6.3.0.105.  I have sufficient credit, and have been using skype to sms various mobiles for several years.
Since past few months, any sms I send is not getting delivered.  Skype gives "Failed Try again".  In some cases, I tried again, with no luck.
It seems that this is a problem faced by many Skype users.  What is the solution please?

There are just so many variables to consider ...
If none of the information in this library of FAQ articles related to SMS prove helpful, please report SMS issues to Skype Customer Service.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
Here are a few extra notes to guide you along the way ...
You will need to proceed through each step, one at a time. Sign on to the Skype website as requested. Choose the subject and topic which most closely matches the item you need assistance with. Then, continue past Step 2 of the instruction where several articles from the FAQ library will appear for you to review, and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request (the blue "button" appears at the lower right corner of the website page). You may also skip through Step 4 where you will be referred back here to the Community; no need to do this as the Community is where you started. When you complete the web-form and click Submit, your information is relayed to Skype and you will receive a reply via e-mail unless you are transferred to start an instant message chat session with a Customer Service agent.
If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service, try again using a different web browser.  Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent.  If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent.

  • Duplicate SMS, failed SMS, etc.

    Okay so now i'm having a whole new set of issues with my iphone 4. Ever since I updated to iOS 5, texts fail randomly and i have to resend them till they go through, or other people will randomly get old texts twice or three times, sometimes even more. Sometimes they get texts from yesterday again today. it's getting ridiculous and ******* everyone i know off when i'm literally not doing anything to cause this. Apple doesn't seem to have a clue why it'd do this so now i just have a case number for the issue. They had me shut off imessage, that didn't help so i decided on my own accord to do a factory restore from itunes. I'll have to see if this works. Has anyone else heard of this issue or have had similar problems? any advice would be appreciated.

    "Are we being charged for these duplicate messages by AT&T?"
    You would have to look on your bill to determine that. I would say that you are, and the reason I say this is because I've sent my son SMS msg's only to find out (at that particular time) that he needed to add on some mins to his "pay as you go" package, so technically he didn't receive the SMS. However I was charged for the outgoing SMS message. Like I mentioned above though, you would have to determine that on your own by looking at your bill.

  • Group sms failed - which recipient?

    Hello,
    I hope you can help.
    I have the iPhone 4 with iOS 4.2. When i send a group sms and it fails to one person, how do i know which one?
    I have a friend who has lost his phone, so presume its that one but how do I know?
    Its the only flaw i have found on the iPhone, love everything else about it
    Thanks in advance
    Chris

    I have a friend who has lost his phone, so presume its that one but how do I know?
    ask them.

  • Sms failed...then?

    I was sending sms to a mobile phone but the last one was failed. Is it going to be delivered later or i have to send it again? for instance skape will try to send it again or it is just failed and lost? Thanks

    When you send a text from Skype, a Sent status will appear next to the text message in the main chat area, which will usually change to Delivered when the text has been delivered. A text can remain Sent for up to 24 hours and during this time delivery of your text will be reattempted periodically. If after 24 hours the text still cannot be delivered, the status will change from Sent to Failed. Once failed, then you d have to go and send a new one.

  • SMS Fail, Call Fail, or phone?

    Hi,
    I've been experiencing some sms and call failure in the last few months. My iPhone 3Gs (with updated software) is still new - not even a year old and I have great reception. However, I get times where i can't call anyone - e.g. i press enter a phone number or a number from my contacts list and phone ringing sound doesn't sound or will sound after a few mins, and I get a failure to send sms's as well...
    I've fixed it a few times with just turning the phone on and off. but it drains alot of power when i do that.
    I was just wondering if anyone else have the same experience and there is a solution... I just hope there isn't anything wrong with my phone...
    meiii

    Have you removed the sim and reset it?

  • Iphone 3g SMS failing

    Every time I use music on my phone and then try send or recieve texts/calls my phone does not work, I then have to turn it on and off for texts to work.
    Can anyone help or does it just need updating?

    That error normally means the phone has been jailbroken or the baseband has been replaced with an iPad baseband to unlock the phone. It can also mean that you don't have the most recent version of iTunes. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1015

  • SMS from address book on new PowerBook

    Hi
    I've just upgraded to a new PowerBook. I could send SMSs from my old one with my K750i / Bluetooth no problem.
    I've added the device on my new machine and can sync etc. The SMS option for an entry is active but the SMS fails to send.
    Any ideas what else needs to be done?
    Thanks

    Any more sugestions???

  • How to stop iphone 4s from putting a space after the second digit, when entering a text number from the keypad

    How do I stop the iphone 4s from putting a space after the second digit, when entering a text number from the keypad. Entering a text number on the key pad like 61998 comes out on the screen as 61 998 and the sms fails to go.

    The space (or lack thereof) should have no effect on whether or not the SMS goes through. The spacing is intended to make it easier for the human eye to comprehend the number. I'd start by resetting the network settings in General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

  • 2.2.1 - Has it fixed your problems?

    Has the 2.2.1 update fixed the SMS problems for those experiencing them?
    Any other surprises included? New features? Bug fixes? Even Apple's web page provides no info as of the time of this writing.
    Who is going first?

    I note the Blurred photo thread started way back in November, and this issue is fixed.
    The suddenly failing SMS thread started in January, and no mention is made of this. SMS would seem to be a much more important problem. I can't believe Apple would shovel this release out the door without addressing SMS issues since they are exchanging phones daily for this issue. Its costing them real money.
    I'm eagerly awaiting postings from the SMS failed users. I sure hope we don't have another two months to wait for the SMS fix?
    Have Any broken SMS users installed 2.2.1 yet?
    Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

  • Private mobile number in Myanmar is blocked due to...

    Dear colleges,
    i just experienced a weird thing!
    I have a girlfeind in Mandalay, Myanmar, used to call the private mobile to chat with her and i did it last week also... I even bought a subscription plan package...
    Yesterday when i tried to call her mobile using skypeout the call was just ended immediately. (like the wrong number) the same crap is for sms: sms failed - try again?
    I contacted the live chat support about that issue and it was a freakin' surprise when I was told  that this number was blocked by Skype tech. stuff due to security reasons and fraud calls attempt... What the heck? She even don't have skype installed and i'm pretty sure not many people are calling her from abroad by skypeout... Support said that they are investigating the issue and number is still blocked. They refused to tell me when it'll be resumed again! What the hell is going on there????
    CU round,
    MarvinFS

    i think only the customer support can provide clarifications regarding your concerns.  If they can't provide a specific date when the number could be possibly unblocked, I think you can ask them a generic timeframe of how long such issues are usually resolved.

  • E71: Communication Center fails to load SMS messag...

    I have an E71, which I connect to my laptop and use to update my Calendar etc. I also read and reply to SMS from the Messages option of the communication Center.
    However, the messages fail to load intermittently, whereas other things like Contacts and Calendar load properly.
    I have tried reinstalling the software , but it doesn't work.

    Thanks very much for your advice.
    I normally set "memory card" to work and store my all messages, and I do backup (*.npu file, right?) for both internal and SD card memory (I select all when functioning "Back up" in PC suite) to my notebook using PCsuite from time to time. With this, could you tell me where can I check and open my messages in my notebook. I just want to make sure that folders under "My folders" under "Messaging" menu are really backed up and can be opened by my notebook.
    Besides, in case that I use my microSD card to work with my all messages, at least I should be able to locate where all messages are kept, shouldn't I? Could you advise how can I locate such files by "File manager" function?
    Thank you in advance again.
