Currently running rooted HTC Hero CDMA using Cyanogen mod. $ weeks ago SMS service stopped. I can send but can't receive. I can't access ESPT to reset phone number. Went to my service provider hoping to reset phone number and they can't help. I've also dealt with multiple SMS apps hoping to fix the issue and nothing. I also wiped DAVLIK and CACHE and did a NAND back up and reinstall of custom ROM multiple times and still it doesn't work. How can I regain SMS receive when it doesn't seem to be a handset issue but my provider tells me it is?

Greetings,
I purchased an unlocked 8925/Tilt over the weekend and had great success using it immediately on the TMobile network. This morning I noticed my SMS messages would not send. I could receive messages, but got the dreaded "Your text message cannot be sent." dialog.
I've checked the SMS Service Center number (via Settings / Phone / Services / Get Settings) and from what I can find via google it appears to be right.
I last used the SMS yesterday about 7 PM and it was fine. This morning at 7 am it gave me this message and has continued for the last 4 hours.
Anyone have any thoughts??
Thanks!
UPDATE: As it turns out the phone WILL send the SMS messages, but only when I have connected to a voice call.
Did you try a soft reset?
SMS not sending
Thanks for the reply.
I should have stated... I have performed a soft reset as well as a hard reset. I have verified the SMS Service Center number is correct as well.
Anyone else ever run into this?
Here's a stupid question, sorry if it offends: Have you tried multiple recipient numbers, i.e. perhaps the one that is failing is due to the number you're sending to, not your device?
cannot send SMS
Not a stupid question. I've tried numbers on different carriers with no luck.
I've called TMobile, and they want to me to try my Sim in another phone which I will have to try later this evening.
Just thought it was strange that it worked fine, I went to bed, and it quit working. Perhaps the Sim card went bad. I've had it a long time.
Tilt cannot send SMS away from home area
After days of testing, hard resetting and scanning this board I appear to have come up with the solution.
I installed "Advanced Config", adding a button to the Comm Manager for 3G and disabling 3G. Not an issue for me as 3G isn't available on TMobile in my area.
If I continue to have trouble I will try replacing the phonesettings.dll and changing the phone band as mentioned in this thread.
Thanks to help from this thread:

HELPPPP
I've been having a similar issue for the past 4 days. I'm using dutty's 6.1 rom. I used to be able to send/receive sms and mms messages. One day, mms messages wouldn't work anymore so I did the auto connection setup in the settings panel and it corrected the mms problem. However, sms messages can't be sent out anymore. I always get the message "Your text cannot be sent." I can receive sms messages but cannot send them out. I've tried searching the forums and it seems like others are in the same boat. There is a thread stating that I should turn off 3g in my comm manager, but it is already disabled. I've tried sending the text message with 3g on and off. It doesn't work no matter what. I've also trying to setting the band of the phone for gsm 1800 like another thread had instructed, but that doesn't work either. It isn't a sim card problem because I can put it into another phone and send and receive them just fine.
Some one help me, please!
anyone have ideas?
figured it out. changed the setting back to gsm mode. i must've changed it to gprs somehow.
So I have had my Captivate for a little over a month now and I have the basic mods done to it, rooted and sideloading enabled and have used everything on the phone with no problems up until now. A few days ago I installed anycut and was messing with the settings and set it to gsm only and tried some other things with no success. It seems that maybe a day after that all my texts were failing to send, however I can still receive text messages. My data still works, phone switches from edge to 3g with no problem, everything works, I just cant send texts now. I have done EVERYTHING that i can think of to try to solve the problem by resetting the phone, tried reverting to a backup taken by titanium backup, reverted to a complete rom backup, even completely loaded the phone back to stock non rooted/sideloaded and none of those things fixed the problem. is there some setting somewhere that I can check/verify that might affect me being able to send text?
LOL i did the same mistake and did the same thing you did to try to fix it.
I figured out that i deleted the sms center number so i could receive texts but not send(not good when your girlfriend is having a breakdown btw). So nerdy me went into the secret phone settings(service menu's) to put back in the sms center and kept getting an error.
Baffled I called att and had a facepalm moment when they told me to go to the stock messaging app and go to settings and input the sms center number from there.
Short Version: Open Stock Messaging app -> Settings -> message center option input +13123149810
Im gonna go look for the other number if that one doesn't work
Edit: Try this one if the other doesn't work +19703769301
Wow thanks! that fixed it. Man what a dumb move on my part.
*82
My messages where also failing sporadically. I checked for the call center number and I did have it. It turns out my problem was because I was using *82 in the contact phone number.
I hid my number from being displayed to others by going to home - settings - call settings - all calls - show my number - hide. And I added *82 in front of just family member phone numbers. But sms / texting was incompatible with *82. So I changed the family mobile phone numbers to ###-###-#### and added a second phone number with *821-###-###-####.
I use my cell phone for business and personal use so that is why I have it configured this way.
Hi Peeps,
For some strange reason my SGS has decided to stop sending sms. After hitting send the messages just get stuck on "sending"
I have checked the message centre number and the mms setting just in case. I have tried the sim in an old nokia and it texts just fine.
It was having intermittent issues with sms around a week ago, where it wouldnt send a message, so i would send the same one again and then both would send simultaneously. However now its not sending at all.
I am running Froyo.xwjp6 with kernel 2.6.32.9.
I have also tried instaling Handcent SMS but i just get the error "message not sent"
Thoughts on a postcard?
Same here, although trying handcent has allowed me to send, but strangely, will intermittently fail, im sure its a froyo bug.

I managed to fix it. Couldn't be bothered with trying to reflash the modem or even the os, so tried the Privacy-return to factory settings option just out of curiosity. Can't figure out what it did exactly but when it rebooted i had not lost any settings or applications, and all my home screen app shortcuts were still there. The only discernable difference was the lack of gadgets on the home screen, which I had to reinstall.
The important thing however is that messaging worked again. God knows why.
One susipicion I have is that this is due to my usage of Titanium Backup. I installed it when i was running Eclair, and each time i upgrade the OS i use it to restore my old system data and apps. Perhaps some change between Eclair and Froyo's messaging settings is being overwritten by and older version by Titanium. I suspect this as following the above factory restore I tried a Titanium restore and instantly it broke my messaging again. So I did the factory again and got them back. There wasn't really any need to use Titanium as I said before I didn't seem to lose any setting or apps, but did it anyway out due to that old cat's friend curiosity
Give it a go if u dare and see what happens
Let me know how u get on...
Ok so im still having the same problem.is there really noone out there with an idea?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Today I noticed my texts wouldn't send. I restarted the phone and suddenly, no service. I tried updating the baseband, reinstalling my rom/kernel, wiping the cache, all to no avail. I also noticed that now I have a huge list of Sprint APNs in my phone... not sure what to do with those, but they weren't there before. I want to avoid my appointment with sprint tomorrow because I have a feeling they'll want me to get a refurbished phone... How can I fix this myself?
Ok, I've got something odd going on and to be honest I'm not sure if it's a T-Mobile Nexus 6 based issue or something on the other end (Oneplus One).
I have one contact in particular that can receive sms and mms messages from me with no issue but I can only receive mms messages from him. If it's a standard sms I never get it. It's really odd. Considering he can get both types from me but not the other way around makes me wonder if the issue is on my end.
I just updated to 5.1.1 and still no change. This was with a factory reset and not restoring the old data either (so nothing corrupted came from the update).
This happens regardless of what messaging program I use (Textra, stock messaging app, etc).
Anyone have any suggestions?
I would expect it to be more network than phone. Try and get a test sim from another provider in your phone.
