You can`t send messages because your message center code is not set. Get someone who uses the same network as you and can send messages, get the code and set yours. Or call the customer care of your network and get the code

Your answers sound logical but they don't work . If you call your service provider the answer they give you is that the tower your phone uses down fixed for 24 hours . This is a bogus lie . I am an expert on here and you people don't know what your talking about.Do your home work then post your solution . Doubt my integrity call 6ya they want to hire me !!

My mms messages do not send on my curve 8520, they try to send for a long time then show it failed to send, i tried sending to myself and that did not work

This could only be caused by a couple of things. The message center number in the handset may not be correct, which will cause the messages to fail. The other possibility is that the feature is not active on your account with your wireless provider. What you need to do is test a couple of things. See if you can send a text/sms message to yourself, in doing this you can verify that you can not only send, but receive text/sms messages. If you cannot send, or receive text/sms messages, then that verifies that the message/service center number is off, and will need to be corrected. If that works, and you can receive text/sms messages, then your service center number is correct, and you will move to the next troubleshooting step, which is to test your web browser. If you cannot launch the web browser on your handset, then this is an issue, because the MMS service requires that you have both SMS, and web browser service to send a MMS message. If you can access the internet and you have the ability to send/receive text/sms, then you need to call your service provider as the issue may be with their service.

It may have been that whoever you're sending the message to has blocked their cellphone to avoid charges or It It might also be that he does not have any minutes on his phone or their text bundle has expired and cannot receive messages.

When sending texts to certain numbers i get an error code 96 and the message will not send

Error 96 means you need to dial in the whole phone number...example 17085551212, not just 5551212 even if you are sending text message to the same area code.

Sent a picture message but nobody is receving them - not sent

You have to have some sort of internet or data service to send pictures. Also, make sure you have entered 1 and the area code when sending text messages - that has caused mine not to send before. Hope that helps.

Error 96 While text messaging, Help please?

I have the same problem. You have to use the area code, the full 10 digit number. Even the phone numbers stored in your memory need to include the area code for the text to send.
