Text message service center settings?

Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy S4. I am currently in the UK and inserted a pay-as-you-go SIM card from O2. After modifying the APN settings, I have been able to start using the phone and the internet - but unfortunately, my text messaging is not working. After spending an hour with O2 customer service, they insisted that I need to modify my "text message service center" settings. They said this should be one of the options on my SMS settings -- but I only have two options on that page: delivery reports and manage SIM card messages (when I click on this one, it just takes me to a screen that says "no messages" and has no other options). So I am supposed to enter the following number in text message service center settings, but I do not have that option on my phone:
(Removed)
Any suggestions?

    Hi SA81,
The UK sounds awesome! I know important text messages can be while traveling. We do not support other carriers sim cards or settings. You would need to reinsert your Verizon Wireless sim card to ensure proper use of all the features on the device.
Thanks,

  • Skype as Outlook text messaging service provider

  • Multiple charges for single text message, 10 cents per minute plan

    I have a Go Phone, 10 cents per minute plan, which shows text messages should be charged at 20 cents per msg. However, I am getting charged multiple times on each text message. The most recent was a message of approx 100 words, billed 4 times at 20 cents. AT&T Billing site shows four consecutive charges for this as a SMS Originating, Local message, each one 20 cents. Is my plan really 20 cents per message or is it a charge per number of characters, words, etc.?

    Hi  Thank you for your post!
    A standard text message or SMS is limited to 160 characters (including spaces and punctuation), so when sending a message longer than that, it actually gets broken up into however many 160 character massages it takes. In your case it sounds like there were 4 messages.
    Most phones will split and then combine messages together automatically when sending and receiving to keep their intended formatting, so it may not always be clear how many messages it actually takes. Many phones have a character counter built in to help with some of that confusion, it may need to be turned on in the settings.
    Please let us know if you have any other questions.
    Thanks,

  • How can I receive a text message from an iPhone to my iPad instead of my android phone?

    my friend has an iphone6 plus, I have an iPad Air.  I cannot receive messages from his iPhone to my iPad but he can send to my android phone. I do receive iMessages from other iphone 5 and 6plus users to my iPad.

    If you are sending an iMessage rather than an SMS (normal text message) it uses your Data Plan not your Text Message allowance.

    So, all of my iphone-using friends need to simply have a data plan, and set up imessages so the texts show up as blue, and I won't be charged additionally?
    Correct.
    The Blue iMessages use your Internet connection.
    If you are away from a Wifi network it will use your Cellular Data Plan for the internet connection.
    The Green Ones use your Text Messaging service.
    Again If they have set up iMessages on their iPhones it will be sent through the internet.
    All other Phones and iPhones that don't have iMessage set up, will use your Text Message Allowance known as SMS.

  • Two Months and Text Messaging still not working!

    Why oh Why doest though treat me this way...... I have called 6 times about this issue. One night I was sitting on my couch play a game on my cell phone device.... I have the connect app on this phone. a message popped up that my text messages had been deleted..... so I cleared off the notification and didn't pay it any mind. the next day, I got on my computer and logged in to send a text message to someone... and ALL of my text converstations were gone..... the text I sent gave me an error message.... DELIVERY ERROR with a resend link...... of course it wasn't resending..... so I got on the phone..... the first THREE reps on three different calls.... stated they were escalating it... and I should receive a call back... NO CALL has taken place.... I called again, and again, days later..... my last call was a few days ago on Thursday..... the guy I could barely understand..... kept placing me on hold and giving the impression he was working to resolve.... then I hear someone talking in the background after being on the phone for an hour to no avail and telling me about deleting and downloading text messaging (which I dont know nothing about nor ever seen) he says something and then the phone goes silent...... then fast tone..... they guy HUNG UP on me... no CALL back.... and today my text messaging feature still doesn't work.... My question is.... do ANY of the employees in tech support know what the text messaging feature is.... how it works, how it is accessed, and how to fix it when it isn't working.... WHY are they telling me about deleting this feature ON MY OWN... when this is something built into the voice service on the site and on the connect app..... it doesn't work on either of them.... Can someone FIX IT please....? I am tired of calling for unknown support

    Mine doesn't work either, so you are not alone. I upgraded to X1 a few weeks ago and "activated" the text messaging service the other night. I'm still not able to send or receive messages from any location, be it the app, website, or various other methods. It seems Comcast just loves offering faulty products. (This is probably the 4th or 5th time in a row their service has failed to correctly work for me since I decided to upgrade, thinking it would resolve a previous issue they caused...)

  • Trouble Sending Text Messages On Samsung Galaxy Note 4

    I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and I have begun to notice, over the past several days, that text messages I send do not go through.  It works fine for most of the day, but there is a brief period where I am not able to send any at all.  I end up having to use a third party text messaging service in order to send messages.  Do the AT&T towers in my area get over loaded or something?

  • 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?

  • Having horrible service with 4GLTE I have had 3G for several weeks (I am not the only person I know having this problem), I have reset my network settings and it did not resolve the issue.  I am also unable to send SMS and text messages without them eithe

    Having horrible service with 4GLTE I have had 3G for several weeks (I am not the only person I know having this problem), I have reset my network settings and it did not resolve the issue.  I am also unable to send SMS and text messages without them either failing or not sending at all.  Is there an outage in the Cleveland, Ohio area (zip codes 44129, 44134, 44137) or anything else I can do to resolve this issue?

    Not that I'm a Verizon employee, but I have experience in the field. An LTE tower will only extend up to, on a perfect day, with no elevation, 6-7 miles. On a typical day, you will be lucky at four (4) miles. The three ZIP codes you've given are all within about a 12 mile radius. That would mean that 2-3 towers are currently down at the same time, and Verizon would know about it within the hour. Being it's Cleveland, I'm sure they would receive numerous calls regarding an outage of that size.
    My point is that if you're having issues in all three ZIP codes, chances are it's a phone issue. If you're handset is simply not receiving LTE, but still receiving 3G, that would signify a SIM card issue. You need to get your SIM card replaced.

    The settings can also the sent directly to your phone as an auto install sms from your network. Contact your network and request they send you the sms.

    On previous iPhones you could go to settings and block the the actual text message from pooping up. Only the sender would show up. On the i4gs the sender and message show up.

    YOU ARE WRONG.
    Go to Settings > Notifications > Messages. You can turn Notifcation Center off for Messages, or select None for the alert style, and turn Show Preview off, and view in Lock Screen on or off.

  • How can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center

    how can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center?

    You choose whether to see text messages in Notification Center or not.  If you elect to see them, they will display the phone number (unless they are from a contact in your contacts list).
    You can choose not to see them at Settings > Notification Center > Messages.

  • How do I change my messaging settings to where it will show text message or iMessage instead of the actual message content

    I've seen where a lot of people have changed their notifications to not show the message content but I can't find how to do it on my iPhone 5c

    Go to settings->notification center and there is where you turn off the preview for the message show it shows you what you want. The iMessage or text message preview.

  • I've upgraded iphone to ios6 and text messaging doesn't recognize my frequ. used contacts unless I go into contacts, find the name, etc. -- tedious.  what happened? and how can it be fixed.  I tried to reset the settings, turned the phone off/ on.

    I cannot initiate a text message by typing in the first couple of letters of a name (from my contacts) and the then the name being recognized.   Have to go into Contacts, then select name -- tedious.   I've tried to reset it, turned the phone on/ off and changed Sort Order, Display Order but nothing has changed.  I've updated to the io6.   Any thoughts??

    Hi,
    Firstly, your country is detemined by several factors, including your phone's regional settings, your SIM card and your NokiaAccount settings, if you used this phone whilst abroad then you may need to check that your regional and account settings are up to date since you have arrived in Canada.
    For services like Gigs, you should also ensure that the MixRadio app has access to your phone's GPS location as well as the main location being on in the phone settings. To check this, as well as Location being turned on in the phone settings, in MixRadio itself go to Settings>Location>On:
    The concern with favourites may also be related to location, if the music from certain artists is available in Canada but not where the service might think you are, availability of content may vary from region to region.
    If all settings in both the phone, your Nokia Account and the MixRadio app are correct, we may have to investigate deeper.
    It is impossible to comment on your camera without seeing it, you cold have the phone checked by Nokia Care locally, but of course if it was supplied in Europe it will be covered by the European Limited Warranty which is not valid in Canada.
    If this or any post answers your question, please remember to help others by pressing the 'Accept as solution' button.

  • No text messages in Notification Center

    I feel like I have all settings correct but I'm not getting any text message notifications in Notification Center. If I wanted to start over and reset everything from scratch, where do I start?

    Hi,
    The Messages app has Alerts in the Messages Menu  > Preferences > Alerts.
    The top item is a drop down of Actions.
    The next line starts with a  Play Sound box to be ticked and then a drop down of Sounds
    There is then the Box for causing the icon in the Dock to bounce.
    For the Invite variations Dialogue boxes do appear on the desktop in different places depending on the type of chat.
    Test Chat ones tend to be top right of the screen.
    Video chats are top centre.
    Audio Only chats  are to the right but below the Text invite spot.
    This is where the Incoming ones appear.
    You obviously don't get the invite box with out going stuff but the Chat is often where you left the last outgoing chat.
    So you can set a sound to a particular actions and in some cases those could be the incoming invites.
    They will work with iMessages and other IMs on AIM or Jabber accounts that you may have.
    The Notifications is part of the System Preferences panes and has the options to have different types of notifications show up for some of the actions.
    The items can be "Alerts" or "Banners" ( or None).
    The so called Notification Center is top and far right in the Menu Bar where Spotlight used to be.
    This can reprise old notifications for  specific apps.
