Sim card Busy at Nokia1600

I have a unlocked ZTE Mf190 USB-Modem. When I put the SIM card in it and connect it to the computer, I am able to connect to 3G Internet via beetel connection manager. Is it also possible to send and receive SMS. But when I try to make a voice call on beetel voice call panel, I receive this error message "Dialing failed! Please try again!" . And also when I use another phone to call the SIM card line number that I put in the USB-Modem, I receive busy tone

Hi, issues like this are related to your Sim card (network),
not your Cell Phone . In most cases, regarding the text messages,
the problem is from the Service Operator. Have you tried the Sim card on another phone? If not,
remove the Sim card, insert it on another phone and try sending a message from another mobile to you number,
or you can do it in vise- versa by inserting another Sim card on your mobile.

If you can't receive text messages even when it's inserted on another handset,
then you will need to call the customer care of your Network Operator and tell
them your problem, they will help you fix it immediately.

You can check the message center number, but I don't think
it's very much important in your case, well, if you wanna try,
just check the text message settings and verify that the message
center number (which is currently in use) is the same number which
is on another phone with the same network (the other Sim should be
of the same network in your area). If it's different, make the changes
and save the settings. Also disable the "Receive Via" or similar settings..
(I can't recollect the exact settings as i don't have the same model with
me, please excuse me for this.).

If the same Sim card doesn't receive text messages using another handset,
don't bother to change the settings or to make any changes with it,
first call the customer care and verify from them, you may make mistakes instead of fixing it.


Hope that helps.

dear frnd, restart your phone n enter a valid message centre number...it will work

I am not familiar with Alcatel mobiles but I can help you find out the cause of the problem. This issue is another very common with many mobile users, and there are two main cause, 1. Message (sms) center and 2. Service(Network) Operator.

To fix the first one, you have to check the message center number, I hope you have another sim card with the same network. If you don't have, simply insert the sim card (your daughter's) on another mobile and try sending a message, how is it? If Yes, follow the next para, if No, then skip the next para..

After it's verified that there's no issue sending message from another handset with the same sim card, find out the message settings and locate the message center [should be inside the message > message settings > text message > message settings] and note down the message center number. After it's done, remove the sim card and insert it on the other (your daughter's) mobile, find and locate the message center number and compare with the one you've noted down (including the code before the 10 digit number) then replace with the one you've got from the other phone (exactly as it's shown on the other phone), save it and try sending text message again. It should work now.

If it's 'No' then call the customer care of the Network Operator and ask them to fix it. Must be from their side, simply the feature can be disabled or enabled by them. They'll let you know the current status of the sim card regarding text message.

Honestly I apologize that I can't give you the exact sequence to get into the message settings and to the message center, but I hope at least you'll be able to understand my instructions.

If you need further help, let me know.

Good luck.

Hi,

Please try this to find a solution to your problem. Go to Messaging window and select More. Select Settings and SMS account subsequently. Make sure that the 'Connection Type' is 'GSM preferred'. And in the 'SMS Service Center Address' check with your operator Customer Care and make sure the same number is entered. You could tell the Customer Care of your problem and that you wish to verify if your using the correct service center address.

Hope this helps

i had the same problem and i could not find any source to solve it. At the end I found a way to solve this naked problem. I put the the simcard to another mobile and send a message to any number and it was sent. And then ı had delete the mobile center number and retype again and save. And then take sim card out and put it in the Iphone... The happyy End.. :)))) its start to sending the messages... HURRAYYYYYYYYY :)))))))))
