Please check the number saved in "Message Centre" in SMS settings. If its blank, then search the same with your sim card service provider and enter the number in it.

SOURCE: Cannot receive and send a txt message.

I had this problem also, make sure your browsre is working since all text messages go through it. I had to program in a new network ,this information should be available to you by contacting your carrier(I have the t-mobile & cingular iformation for this if needed). If browser does work then check message setup(you may have incorrect service center number or gateway entered,also make sure SMS is turned on). To check setup go to message center, select message inbox,select menu, select setup (again you can get the correct info by contacting carrier or I have t-mobile if you would like it)

SOURCE: txt messages

Error message 38 means there was some type of problem with the number to which you were texting. When sending a text message, make sure you are sending the message to a ten-digit mobile number (assuming you are in the US). If you're sending a text message to an entry you've saved to your address book, make sure that you stored the number with area code in your address book.

If all of that checks out, or if you've had no problems texting to this exact number before, you will want to place a call to customer service with your wireless service provider. They can look at message logs within their network to see what happened and why the attempt failed.

good luck

Hi. Regarding sms/txt. When I exceed 450 characters it automatically converts the sms/txt to mms. How can I prevent this? Sms is cheaper than mms when you send it.

You are speaking of SMS concatenation....


By default, all SMS traffic is limited to 160 characters per message.


Depending on the handset and the carrier, if you go over 160 characters the handset may automatically send a second\third message to the recipient to finish the complete message.

Slightly older phones would automatically go to MMS after 160 characters,

Much older phones won't even give you the option of going over 160 characters in one SMS message.


So most likely, the 450 limit is a limit hard coded into the phone.
