Can't get SMS to work

I'm pulling my hair out here. I unlocked my Tilt today and loaded the Kaiser ROM on my phone. Afterwards I loaded the default MMS cab file. I'm successfully using Goodlink, Slingplayer, Exchange synching, PIE, etc. Everything works except SMS messages. When I send a test message from my Tilt to my blackberry I never receive it and visa versa. I do get the message that the message was sent successfully. I tried sending a text message from Outlook to my [email protected] and I get an undeliverable message telling me that [email protected] has restricted SMS email. I am however able to use Outlook to send text messages to my blackberry phone. Both on ATT/Cingular's network. Any suggestions would be appreciated, I'm pulling my hair out(or what's left of it) on this one!

well SMS is over the GPS network meaning if your phone works as in making calls your SMS should be working also. Call AT-T and tell them your SMS is not working just don't tell them that you flashed the HTC rom to your Tilt sounds like something on there end.

I had the same problem. It turned out that the ATT rep I bought the phone from signed me up for Blackberry Connect with no text messages, rather than the PDA plan, so I could do everything (even AIM, which used the SMS anyway...) except text. Maybe this is the case with you as well? If so a call to AT&T should fix that (and save 4 dollars a month?).
Unless, of course, the guy was totally BSing, as they tend to do.

I Can't Receive Text Messages From Other Carriers

I Have a Tilt flashed with HTC 6.1 and (I think, but haven't tested) sim unlocked (with the kaiser sim unlocker tool). I am using it on AT&T. I don't use text messaging that often so it hasn't bothered me too much, but all my AT&T friends can send me MMS (I don't recall if they've sent me any SMS). However, one of my Verizon friends sent me a few text messages and (when he finally called) asked me why I didn't respond. I told him I didn't receive the messages. I searched for "kaiser can't receive sms from other carrier" and didn't find anything helpful. I hope I'm not missing something obvious. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

If you've ported your number in from another carrier, you'll need to contact tech support to have them update your phone number.
If you're not able to receive a text from one particular person, that could be something different.

Oh thanks I did port my number from Verizon. Who should I call Verizon or AT&T?

I would call AT&T Customer Care and have them verify that there are no weird restrictions on your account related to SMS messaging.
As an example, a friend of mine who did not wish to receive SMS messages on his Verizon phone was able to call them and have all external messages blocked. But he was told there was no way to prevent other Verizon phones from sending him texts.
I would also have AT&T verify that your Test Message Service Center number is correct on your Tilt.

Cannot send sms at times

There are times when I cannot send sms while there is a full bar signal, anyone who has some hints on why is this?
Thanks!

Do you also have problems with recieving sms-messenges?
I initially had problems with my X1 as well, only half of the messenges showed up, didn't send a lot of messenges either. Most notably, the new messenges icon (xperia panel 1) contstantly showed me that i had unread messenges but they werent visible when i was in the inbox.
Fed up with problem (after updating through SE update service), I had T-mobile send it in. It's fixed now!

I have the same problem.
My provider is KPN (Netherlands) and sometimes the text messages I send are, either duplicated and send twice, or not being send at all.
Also, when I recieve messages (rare occasions) the messages that weren't send to the receiver, are being send at the same time I receive the message.
I have the latest SE Update with the Update Service.

Does anyone have an answer to this problem cos I have the same problem texts are not being sent

SMS problem

Hi,
I have a problem with my HTC Touch Diamond.
When i try to send a sms to a random person, that person receives the sms fine.
But when i try to send a sms to Mr. A, Mr A doesn't receive the sms.
It just happens with 1 person.
I tried to call that contact, it works fine.
I tried to receive a sms from that contact, no problem.
But when i try to send a sms to that contact, the sms will never arrive.
Might there be some kind of blackbook in my phone or maybe you know the answer?
Thx
Alex

I would try to get somebody you know on the same network as you to
try and send the sms some phone companys if you use a different one
then mr A that is
have a very poor support devlivering stuff back and forth from 1 operator to another

Lumia 822 not sending texts

I have a lumia 822 and every time I try to text, I get a failed message.
I get to make calls and even get HSPA 3G data, but I just can't get texts to work
any help?

If you're doing anything outside of normal messages (long ones, multiple recipients, images, funny characters, etc.) it may be trying to use MMS instead, which sometimes requires some configuration. Check the Messaging settings to see if it's using MMS instead of SMS. Beyond that, try sending a very simple message to just one person. Better yet, have one person send a simple message to you, then try to reply (if you get it).
SMS uses a mechanism inherent in the way modern cell phones work. You don't even need a data connection for it; if you can send and receive calls, you can (in theory) send and receive texts.
If it's really not working, I'd suggest taking it back to the store; there's something wrong.

I read that it's an issue with the phones, but some have reported that there IS in fact a fix for it, was hoping someone here knew.
I can receive texts no problem but sending always fails.

What carrier are you using? I would contact them first, I had a similar issue with my Tmob 8X.

Any update on this issue? I recently switched to SimpleMobile from AT&T and the text messages are not getting sent. Incoming messages work fine!
