Unable to send sms through x10 mini pro

[#1]

Hello friends.

My x10 mini pro is was working just fine until 3 days ago. But all of a sudden, it wasn't letting me send sms anymore. I still am able to receive sms though. Its just the problem with sending sms.

Whenever i try to send an sms, it shows 'sending'  for like 4 seconds and then shows 'could not send'.

Been having this issue since 3 days and it still persists.

Let me tell you what all i have done. (Except for restarting the phone a million times)

1. Network tower issue: To check if the issue was with the tower, i moved a good 30 miles away to another tower and it still had the issue. Plus, my other friends living just next door are able to send and receive sms through the same network operator.

2. Phone software issue: To check if it was an issue with the phone, i flashed my phone with the pc companion and installed a fresh copy of android 2.1. But the problem persists.

3. Sim: I removed and re-inserted the sim card a few times just to make sure the contact was proper with the chip. And it was properly connected.

Now, the only thing thats left in my mind is if my operator changed the message centre number of the network.

But then, there's no way of changing or editing the message centre number in android 2.1.

It used to be in Home screen > Settings > Wireless controls > Mobile networks > SMS centre in 1.6.

But unfortunately, it aint there anymore in 2.1.

If anyone could PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me out with how to edit/reset the message centre number it'd be of great help. 

Also, any other tentative issues that could be causing the problem that you might know of. Please let me know. I am a travelling guy and most of the contact i make with my world is through sms.

Eagerly waiting for a solution.

Cheers,

Shrinivas.

If you guys can't get it to work by settings the SMSC manually according to Aimee's instructions, I think you would have to test another SIM card in the phone.

Hello to all,

I tried to solve my problem (*#*#4636#*3* ) but no luck. Does anyone find out a way to fix this problem? I have tried another SIM cards also

By the way when I tap Setttings- About Phone-Status- My phone number looks "Unkown" Is that a problem?

Thank you

Hi Enlil-TT-, did you check with your Network Operator regarding your issue?

[#8]

Thank you for fast response. Yes I called Network Operator help desk and I have tried different Network Operator SIM cards. But I can not find SMS message center number and can not send text message.

When you keyed in *#*#4636#*#*  to access Phone Information, what did you see in the SMSC field? blank?

[#10]

When I tap *#*#4636#*#* the SMSC is blank and I wrote network operator SMS message center number and tap Update and after that tap refresh . SMS message center  automatically displayed and I checked again now. The SMSC is blank..

Ok, confirm that it is the correct SMS message center number.

Do the process again, after tapping refresh, doublecheck the numbers again. Reboot phone and try sending sms.
