No, that feature has nothing to do with ATT services.

I'm having the same problem detailed in the followin post
"Unable to sign in to the MSN service. Please try again later.
(Detail: Sorry, the phone number cannot be read from your SIM card. Please contact your Operator for help.)"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=447101&highlight=messenger
though! I can't use meebo or other software since they don't recognize my installed modded local fonts.
for some great reason the device basic im does!
so I realy need to use it. google talk works great but I have less use for it..
only msn messenger seems to have a problem with my sim (why does it care so much?!?!). on the wifi every thing works great.
isn't there a work around? anywhere? some mod ? please? thanks!
If I'm correctly informed, MSNing from the G1 with Google Talk use SMS to send the text, not the real MSN way. So it's meebo or nothing, it seems. Unless your plan includes unlimited free SMS, it sounds like an expensive way to do messaging...

Thanks but nope.
MSN does not use SMS to send txt if you have a DATA plan like 3G GPRS or EDGE.
I used it frequantly with RC30 with no extra billing. I miss it allot
meebo doesn't work for me (with my modded local fonts) cant read or write..
Just need someone who knows andorid code. with my problem and can check droid sans RC30 patch code and see what they did on it and make an RC33 compatible patch
they wont relaese an RC33 patch.

Sorry, but I'm pretty certain you are wrong!
The standard IM client *does* use SMS messages for IM traffic for all protocols other than Gtalk, *unless* you are connected via WiFi.
I have a US phone with a UK T-Mobile SIM card - I can connect to MSN over WiFi without issue, but when I disconnect from WiFi and try to use a "cellular" data connection, I get the same message about not being able to read the phone number from the SIM card.

First of, if you get the error msg and cant use it, how are you so certin it will use sms to send the message ??
secound, I'm not a T-mobile user. I use the phone in Israel, using a sim-free phone with an ORANGE sim. I used the phone with msn for a month on msn chat so I know my local carrier does not charge me for the messaging.
I'm starting to think this all was a google/t-mobile concpiracy to make people use gtalk on the one hand and pay sms bills to tmobile on the other. when people were angrey to see the bill google decided to block the msn software on rc33 with 3g.
anyway sansandroid said they will release an rc33 patch (hope they can) asap.
so my hopes are with them now..

I can't use it *now*. When I bought the phone, I was in the US using a US T-Mobile SIM and it worked then. This was on RC29, and later RC30.
Google has also confirmed that it doesn't work without a US T-Mobile SIM (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1330#c2)

So I have a dell streak on a T-Mobile pre-paid mobile broadband plan. The device/account is assigned a phone number which my first guess tells me is simply required to connect to the network in any capacity. I'd like to know if there is someway to use this number for SMS either via extra service thru T-Mobile or thru some form of tweaking/hacking/moding/editing/praying....... But the few T-Mobile reps I've spoken to don't have a clue. The answers I've gotten range from "I think you can add text messaging" to "You definately can't maybe I think not do that sort of".
Is it good for anything?
Can I MAKE it be good for anything?
Is there somewhere to maybe tie it into my google voice number in a way I can use ANY SMS app?
Is there like an "SMS for non-phones 101" somewhere?
Thanks.

You can text from it. Use the native texting app and it'll send/receive fine (I believe it's MMS). T-Mobile has unlimited texting on their data plan, so you already ought to be set up for it.
Thank you! I guess I'm going to have to contact Tmobile as I can neither send nor receive in this fashion.
Thanks again
I find this extremely frustrating. MMS pictures always fail to send and never download. I have cleared the cache, and reset the APN defaults to nothing. I use the stocking messaging app. I am rooted if that makes any difference, but I doubt it. Does it matter if I am using a nano sim with an adapter and an iPhone data plan? It did not on the S4.
The iPhone data plan may be the culprit.
Have you tried adding new APNs?

sms mms
Your iphone was probably using imessage and the people that have iphones have to go to settings and click send as sms/mms because their phones still think you are an iphone and as long as your iphone is on the apple server this will happen. If you remove it on your iphone it will eventually cycle and remove your iphone but you have to remove your iphone before resetting the iphone.In reality you are probably getting messages but they will not go to your note 3. I went through this and the people that changed to sms/mms got a message saying it might cost them to use this but it doesn't unless they do not have a texting plan. hope this helps.

I actually turned iMessage off. My Note 3 is getting the MMS messages, they just will not download. Sometimes I can send MMS, sometimes I can't. It just fails to send. I get the network errors almost every time. Maybe the note 3 needs special provisioning and does require a capable Android data plan. I just thought that never made a difference.
mms
I got ya, I think it is because you are using an android message service and your plan is apple, although it should not work just sometimes. I know it is a hassle but I would call your provider and see what they say. I just thought it was because of the apple servers because I had almost the same problem only any mms/sms I got from another iphone was still going to my iphone that had no service contract but my outgoing messages made it to the correct recipient.
Adblock/adaway blocks mms.

OMG this is SO TRUE. I had AD BLOCK plus and I just uninstalled it and now my MMS messages work fine. Wow. Thanks so much.
So the iPhone LTE plan works fine with android btw. I did get 68mbps down.

Is there a way from within AdAway to cause mms's to not be blocked? I really don't want to have to uninstall it.

Try setting the MMS port to 8080 instead of 80?
Not sure if this is my account only but am I supposed to have basic Visual Voicemail on my Note 8 with Verizon? I don't even see a tab for VM in my phone app. I know Verizon has a premium VVM that costs money but isn't a basic one free? Or am I stuck calling in?

Yes, you should have basic VVM service. Call customer service to make sure it is provisioned correctly in your account.
I had the same issue last year when I went back and forth between an iPhone and Note. VVM wasn't working on my Note and was forcing me to call in. The VZW rep was able to quickly fix everything. FYI though, they will need to reset your voicemail so any saved messages will be deleted during this process.
If you log into your account and block visual voicemail basic you will get an alert on your phone saying you have a new voicemail. When you select the notification you will automatically call voicemail the old legacy way. Just another option.

That worked (but I didn't lose my saved messages!). They just reset my voicemail on their end.

Did you try a Google search? I found this as the leading result.
The Tab S8+ does not have a cellular modem, and is therefore incapable of placing phone calls via a cell network. You can, however, use VoIP applications such as Google Voice, which works over WiFi.

No...but a phone number is needed for some services such as SMS.
You can use any Internet connected device for Google Voice.

I think I was pretty clear - the Tab S8 cannot use SMS on its own, so to use SMS you must pair it with your phone.
If you don't want to do this, you can use a different messaging service, such as Google Messages
If you got it from Verizon, it does have a modem. But you have to use Verizon line. Like Verizon messages+ etc. The sms and call Iike none cellular tablets does not work on the Verizon tabs. They block it.
