How to change SMS Service Centre? Can't send SMS!

Guys,
any idea how to change the SMS service center on Diamond???
when I try to send a SMS I get a message that the message cannot be sent and that I need to check my SMS Service center number.
When I put a different SIM card from the same provider it works normally. Also when I put a SIM card from a different provider everything works OK.
I have searched through Diamond forum and haven't find any relevant information.
However i did notice that people had issues with this one in some other WinMo phones.
I tried 2 ROMs and the same thing happens:
SwiftBL 6.0 and panosha Shine On 1.3
My SIM card works normally in other phones (Samsung etc.)
Any ideas on this one??

Soon I'm gonna start closing instead of moving threads!

Yes i have got the same problem since i have updated the phone to the new 1.93
Since then i turned the phone back to other ROM's but the problem stays.
It is the problem with the Telfort Provider en other providers will send it directly.
Strange problem.
But where is the problem? In the phone or with the provider?

I had the same problem with 1.93.456_Radio v1.00.25.05
1. Turn back to only stock Radio version (may be Radio v1.00.25.03)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407956
2. Or, change your sim card with a brand new one.
Both solved my problem...

I've got the same problem with a Telfort SIM here in Holland (after flashing from 1.37 stock to custom 1.93 ROM, not sure if it worked on stock). Couldn't find an easy way to change the SMSC myself. It proved hard for me to send an AT+CSCA command to the Diamond. And I haven't found software that uses SmsSetSMSC from the Windows Mobile Version 5.0 SDK. So I could write it myself, but first I'll ask if Telfort will let me try a new SIM and see if it'll send SMS, because I don't want to return to 1.37..

Definitely a new SIM, I don't want to stick to one ROM just because of that...
By the way, provider is Telenor Serbia

I'm back from the Telfort shop. Showed the girl behind the counter how I couldn't send SMS and change SMS settings. Swapped SIM's. She could send SMS with my SIM on her Nokia and I could send SMS with her SIM on my Diamond.. I'll get a new SIM for free, problem solved.

Sim Card Missing / Fried Sim

Okey so ive had my diamond for 3 weeks and have had this issue. The device worked fine for 2 weeks except for this problem that it keeps dropping the connection and just says "no service" but when i disable and re-enable the phone radio i get full signal. However one time the device froze and i had to soft reset. After which it said the "sim card is missing, you can make emergency calls if your service provider supports it" when the sim card was in the phone. I tried resets and cleaning the sim all to no avail. So after not being able to find anyone else with this problem i figured it must be my old 2g sim that had been causing the problems so i went and purchased a new 3g sim from my service provider (mobilezone [switzerland]) and inserted it into the device. Everything starts working again and i figure the problem is fixed. However the phone continues to drop the signal again and again over the next few days and finally kills the sim card again, and displays the same "sim missing..." error. So i have now taken it back to the retailer and they say there seems to be no issue with the device as the technichen inserts a new sim and everything works fine. The thing is that the sim cards are completely broken. They no longer work in any device!!! But it took 2 weeks the first time and 3 days the second, so the technicians agreed to test the device for a couple days, im just sure its gna work fine for that amount of time but screw up again after when i use it again. Can anyone provide any insight into this? I speculate that its perhaps an issue with my service provider since they do not have their own network but use orange (switzerland) with their custom network settings, and when configuring the device the WM6 connection wizard only has 3 options and my provider is not listed, so i use the orange config settings, which i thought may be slightly different and cause problems. Ideas?!?!?
Thanks in advance.

If it helps, I had to have a new sim to use it in my new phone (not the diamond, a nokia) because it didn't work properly, as it was a relatively old sim.

Hi did you ever get your sim problem sorted, have been experiencing same,
except my sim still work on other phones?

Help - SMS won' work and O2 have no solution atm.

Got my ignito the other day and realised yesterday that I haven't received any texts. The girlfriend also asked why I hadn't replied to her messages, and when I tried to send a message it comes up with:
Your text cannot be sent, check service center address in settings
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Have looked through the settings and cannot find anywhere where to input the service centre number for O2. Also tried t O2 and O2 service settings programs in the program list, and they have problems connecting to retrieve any settings. Also on the O2 customer forum other people don't seem to have this problem.
Also have called customer services and even they are a bit unaware and wern't even in the know that this phone had been released. The data service guy over there hasn't even got any settings to push to the phone and has gone off to look for some.
Any ideas ?
Edit: The technical guy talked me through going into strat->settings and the phone area, then clicking on services and the 'voice mail and text messages' then retriving the settings to get to the message centre number. But when i do this the error thrown up says:
Cannot read settings from the network, try viewing settings later or disconnect data connection and try again.

Tried taking out battery and a hard eset and nothing has helped. The only thin I have done to the phone is update to HARD-SPL but have not flashed a custom ROM yet. Could this be the problem at all, as I didn't test the SMS before updating this ?

Might not help but have you tried removing sim and replacing?

Ye the customer service guy got me to do that, and reset, but still the same. Just tried it again and still nothing. Will try my friends SIM card in the ignito to make sure it isn't my old SIM card.
Just managed to send an MMS to someone on the desk next to me at work, so just seems like MMS. Fiddling with different settings in the MMS, like gateway number ports etc, and MMS still works with a number of possible settings but no SMS.
Really hope I didn't screw it up with the HARD SPL, but will try other versions of that tonight.
Cleaned the SIM and nothing, plus a big thing I CAN RECEIVE TEXTS, but still can't send them. But in the phone settings area I can connect to the network for all the other options like call barring, caller ID, call forwarding, and call waiting, just not the voicemail and SMS option.
Lol comedy of errors.

start>settings>connections>advanced network
SMS Tab
there will be 4 possible settings here.
I sugest you try each of them, with a powercycle between each attempt just for good measure.

I had this on T-Mobile - the Sim didn't input the settings on install.
Go to phone > menu > options > services > voice and text settings and click get settings, you can try to input the service centre if it isn't there or wrong.

Cheers for that boys but still no luck. Tried all the GSM GPRS settings in the SMS tab and still the same.
ericson68, tried that lots the day I realised i was having text problems, plus the guy on the phone from O2 got me to try that, but as soon as i click on the SMS/voicemail settings tab it rejects it and says unable to contact. All other tabs on there can be conected to, like call baring etc, just the texts one which is screwed.
O2 have offered to give me a new one when a courier comes to collect the old one. only problem is my billing address is my parents house where the box is, so have to send the phone back to them tomorrow through our royal fail post system. Special delivery time I think.
Could the hard SPL upgrade have affected this in anyway, Im still running the ROM that came with it though ?

Just out of interest if you do a hard reset and then insert the sim do you get a notification asking to set up o2, or is your phone o2 branded?

The phone is O2 branded and has O2 software on it as well.
I have just hard reset it without the SIM card in and it installs some O2 things going through the progress bar, and also brings up a page to do with O2 GPRS settings and automatically configuring it.

another try
Hi
(sorry, I missed that you alredy tried this)
I have a swedish phone so I am guessing the English meny names.
Maybe you can try this.
Go into settings, select phone, select services, tap "voicemail and sms", tap "get settings from network" and see what happens. You should receive the sms servicec enter number.
Kindest Regards
stefan

Hey stefan. Thanks but have tried that, and that is where the problem is. The SMS service settings are in there but when I click 'get settings' it says:
'Cannot read settings from network, try again later'....

Hi
Is it possible to type in the number and tap ok. That should initiate the phone/network with the message center number..
If there is a number there, what number is it?

Change the SIM card
Hi,
if you search the forum you will see that several people have the same problem, including myself...
Anyways, only solution (so far) is to change the SIM card. So just change your SIM card with your provider and it should work (this is probably free or really cheap anyways, you keep the same number etc.).
I have an unlocked Diamond and the same problem. Only my SIM card with Telenor provider does not work. Other Telenor cards work and also cards from different provider work.
So just change the SIM card and it should work (some people already tried it and it worked, I am too lazy to go to the store, but I will do it soon. until then I have another SIM card (different number) which works fine)
Cheers!

was this number ported to o2, or was it a new contract?
i had the same problem in the first 24 hours, worked fine after that.

Hey
Sorry didn't reply. Just after my last post I tried a friends SIM card at work and it worked fine, so must be my old sim card (5 yrs). My contract was an upgrade and have been with O2 for those 5 yrs.
New card on way to me now, thanks for all the help !
Custom ROM time this weekend

Solution to problems sending sms

Some modern SIM cards use automatic SMSC, so the SMSC is NOT stored on the sim as delivered from the provider.
HTC Touch Diamond/WM6 can't handle this.
Unfortunately the interface does not allow you to set it (incorrectly reports network error)
Here is a workaround for different OSs, let's start with WP6:
1) Download the nice tool ATcommander from this thread
Url: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2715738
2) Unfold exe to the phone
3) Run the exe on the phone
Enter
AT+CSCA?​Click send, verify that the number is not set or incorrect
Enter (substitute your providers SMSC, +4540390999 is danish TDC)
AT+CSCA="+4540390999",145​Click send
(145 indicattes international number, see se eg http://www.developershome.com/sms/cscaCommand.asp)
4)
Boot it, and enjoy!
ADDENDUM I:
In below posts different syntaxes has been reported as needed for other (early Android) phones. Like:
AT+CSCA="004540390999"​ (no type and country code indicated by 00 not +)
AT+CSCA="40390999"​ (no type, and no country code)
Please try to see what works for the chipset and OS of your phone
ADDENDUM II:
For Androids like the Xperia 2011 phones (at least it works with 2.3.4) you can access the SMSC setting with a build in function.
In the dialer enter
*#*#4636*#*# (4636="INFO")​select "Phone information"
Scroll down to SMSC and click "Refresh"
You will see an entry (including the quotes) like
"+4531300040",145​for 3.dk in Denmark
And you can edit/enter the SMSC as needed and press Update
As you might have noticed, the format is identical to the "AT+CSCA" parameters above, so it is most likely just a nice wrapping.
Best Regards
Eske Rahn
PS this problem has apperantly been around for years, so the problem is most likely WM not HTC.
see e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-242938.html
That describes exactly the same error I got
ER
PPS Keywords, the errormessage:
"Try viewing settings later, or disconnect data connection and try again"

Thank yo very much it worked for me just fine.
I had a problem with my new Xperia x1 and 3G sim from Saudi Arabia telecom Co.
The problem was unability to send SMS messages while I can receive them and sim cannot read sms network settings as well.
WITH YOUR WORKAROUND SOLUTION, I was able to resolve this trouble so, many thanks again and again.

I have HTC HD and had the same issue. About two months I have looked for solution for this problem.
And finally I got it ... here
Thank You so much eske.rahn !!!

Hi, not sure if this is the correct thread for this so sorry if i'm wrong. Have an SMS problem on my phone which is kinda similar to this. I can't send sms messages!!! They just sit in the outbox.
I have a mda IV which is unlocked and am using an O2 sim on it. Everything works great except that now and then I can't send SMS (texts), can receive them ok but not send. Tried my sim in other phones and works ok. Tried other sims in my phone and they don't work either. Also tried soft/hard reset. Have the correct number in the SMS settings and my phone registers on the network ok.
Anyone help please???????
update: i now haven't been able to send a text for 2 days. I don't get any error messages when i try and send.

Sorry for the late reaction, haven't reviewed this thread for ages...
This does indeed sound like the same problem. Can you see/change your SMSC?
If you already have the correct number entered as SMSC the workaround described will not help. The SMSC is provider dependant. There are many lists 'out there' with SMSC's. So google "SMSC" and your providers name, this should provide you with the correct number.

He he, I too wasted a lot of time searching to no avail, until I remembered that this used to be an issue on my old phones a decade ago.

Thanks for this - worked first try on my Diamond which was OK untill I flashed a new ROM (Natalay 2.100). When I tried to check the message centre number I got the cannot read error. It would read other sim cards and another phone could read my sim card (an Orange 3G sim). I tried changing the radio several times and was about to get a new sim card as it was the only other solution I could find that had worked for other people. I can now read the message centre number OK.

I love XDA comunity!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks it worked

big thanks finally my xperia works as it should

really thanx man it helped .... i've been searching for over 6 month for a way i could change by it the message center

Still doesn't work for me, when i'm on andriod..

it didnt worked for me !!!
I'm from romania ..i own a htc diamond and i just did what you told me to do with AT comannder
it went well until i had to send at+csca = "the number it showed",145
and it gives me an error....
i have tried in so mani ways.. even the => start/settings/phone/band
im finding hard to believe that i can't do anything !
Thank you for your time...and hope that someone comes up with a solucion!

thx for this very useful topic. Solved my problem in seconds...

Just to note that for Android this didn't work for me until I changed the number to remove the + sign and substitute 00. Also removed the ,145 at the end.
So, for example:
AT+CSCA="+31653131313",145
Would become:
AT+CSCA="0031653131313"
Not sure if this is the case in all builds, but it certainly fixed mine. The SMS in WM still works with this change, so no harm done.

thanks you are very helpfull

For Vodafone AU the SMSC was stored on the SIM but in +61... format, I alo had to change it to a local only number using:
AT+CSCA="0415011501"
WM still works and Android now works after that. Hopefully I don't need to go overseas for a while...

Thanks its work, with my HTC Diamond and Indosat simcard,
Thx you....

thanks very much! spent many hours hard resetting, talking to my service provider, etc. this finally works.

hi,
i face similar problems with htc diamond, wm6 & nataly rom. sometimes i do not receive some sms. i dont have a problem in the outgoing messages. only in the incoming. any help ?

Happy
I'm glad to see that it had helped people.
And sorry for the delayed reaction, been out of this forum for a few years...
But yes markzb, the implementation of AT-commands of the 'modem' might vary slightly. Thanks for the input on what syntax other phones accepts *ThumbsUp*. I'm not sure if it is an OS or chipset difference, but I would guess chipset...

Mi 9 - Android Q Mobile Network isn't available

Hi,
I just bought a Mi 9 for my gf as Birthday gift and have a big problem with it.
We use her Simcard from her further phone, which works there without issues, but the Mi 9 just let her use Data on the simcard (internet). No calls or texts in-/ outbound are possible. It always shows that no mobile network is available.
I already readded all APNs (Internet, LTE, GPRS) and tried a couple different network settings (*#*#4636#*#*). I'm not sure why this issue appears and searched allover the internet. Seems like noone else have this problem.
Version is 11.0.2.0(QFAMIXM) with locked bootloader. Could it be that seller flashed something wrong, modem type or whatever? Carrier lock wouldn't let us use the actual sim right? My own sim as well just work with data so it need to be an issue with the phone.
Thanks in advance
Chris

Noone have any idea what the issue could be?

This seems like an operator related issue and probably has nothing to do with the Mi9. Try operator related forums for more help. The only thing that comes to mind is to get a new sim from the operator.

Question:
Does mi9 recognize the SIM Card? Does mi9 ASK for your SIM Card PIN? Or does mi9 say 'no SIM Card installed'?

Hi,
Sim is recognized and contacts shown. Sim pin is deactivated so the Phone don't ask.
Mobile Network is shown and active and data/ internet works. Its just the GPRS funtions (Text, Calls) which don't work. When I try to call I get the "Mobile Network isn't available" message and texts don't sent.
Thanks

The Sim works fine in another phone and my sim which works as well, shows the same errors in the Mi 9. So it must be an phone issue.

What operator do you use? What operators are the respective cards you have tried in the Mi9? Did you buy the phone from a private person and not new in a sealed package? In this case contact the seller.

Do you have 2 simcards installed?
You also might try to reset the modems, howto you can find when searching the forum

Just 1 sim installed. 2nd slot shows the same issues. Will check the forum for modem reset thanks.

Hi,
Weirdly the phone seem to have a Carrier Lock. My gf uses SMART Prepaid here on the Philippines and as said just mobile data was working. Yesterday she switched the SIM for testing to Globe and with this SIM everything works. 4G is available and calls/ texts work as they should.
I'm still confused about this. If the Phone would be carrier locked, should another Carrier SIM not be functional at all? I don't get why Data connections are working then.
For now the solution is to get another SIM. Probably let it unlock in a store.
Regards
Chris
