Unable to send SMS

I've lost the capability to send SMS messages.  It's always switching to MMS mode even if I've set it up to always send text-only message as SMS.  The SMS settings in Text Messaging -> Options is also gone.  I used to be able to send SMS.  I've done soft and hard reset but the problem persists.  Please help.  How can I get the SMS settings back in Text Messaging -> Options screen?
Thanks.

Hey redj28,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
I would first suggest removing the battery and placing it back in.  Then try to send an SMS message.  When was the last time you were able to send an SMS message?  Did you do any changes to your account?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

    Try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    If that does not resolve, SMS is a carrier feature, contact the carrier.

  • 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.

  • Since upgrading to iOS 7.0 on my 3G iPad I have been unable to send SMS's, is anyone else experiencing this problem?

    I have recently upgraded my 3G iPad2 to IOS 7.0 and I have since then been unable to send SMS's (not using iMessage). Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

    Thanks everyone, I thought that I had lost some functionality since upgrading as I can only send messages via iMessage and in our household there are 4 iOS devices and whenever anyone sends a message they do not receive the reply but it does come up on my iPad ( I don't always carry my iPad) so it can be hours before realising that the message has been received. The only solution I have is to turn off iMessage on the iPad and then everyone receives their messages normally.

  • E72 unable to send SMS to list

    I am unable to send/forward SMS to lists.
    After list / contact selection, as soon as I hiss the send button, the Phone pops up the "SMS sending" screen.
    The screen disappears after a few seconds and following are the things that had happened:
    A draft is saved
    Outbox is filled with SMS but non is sent
    THIS IS REALLY ANNOYING
    Another Thing:
    Usually after this, my phone looses it mind and stops displaying
    correct time with newly received SMS
    contact Name with newly received SMS (in Inbox) (shortcut on main screen does show contact name)
    Any Help !!!!
    - Usman

    That Did not help
    I did the following:
    1 - Synced contacts via Ovi
    2 - deleted all contacts from Phone
    3 - Synced again (lists were maintained)
    4 - Sent an SMS to list (was sent - SUCCESS)
    5 - sent another SMS to a larger list (was NOT sent - FAILURE)
          A draft was saved and the outbox was populated with status "Waiting"

  • N73 unable send sms

    n73 unable to send sms or text...even i had load...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    So you are not from the UK i take it?
    I dont know the message centre number for other parts of the world i'm afraid.
    It may be best to phone your network provider and ask them to provide you the correct number to see if it is different to yours.
    My posts are my opinion and in no way the direct views of Nokia.
    If my posts are helpful, please give me some KUDOS using the green star on the left.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Iphone 4s IOS 7.0.3 Not sending SMS

    My new Iphone 4s will recieve text messages but not send them, let me be clear I am referring to SMS not iMessage, I know there are problems with that. I have turned off iMessage but I still cant send texts.

    IF you're still unable to send SMS messages after following the troubleshooting articles you may need to get in contact with Apple; however before you do
    WHen your estored the iPhone did you set it up as a new device via iTunes or did you restore from your backup. If you restored from you backup then you possibly brought the problem right back D:

  • I am not able to send sms to certain contacts from my iphone5

    hi
    iam not able to send message to certain contacts from my iphone5

    Hi sri_sr,
    If you are unable to send SMS messages to certain contacts, we may need to check a few things:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
    If you still can't send or receive SMS or MMS messages
    - See the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant.
    - Verify that every phone number in your contacts list includes an area code.
    - When sending to existing contacts, ensure that your contacts include the full phone number, and not just the information needed to dial locally.
    - If you have recently ported your number from another carrier, please contact your current carrier to verify that the porting process has completed successfully.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.
