Unlocked Tilt cannot send SMS

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.

VM Indication Issue

Okay I have had this issue for a couple months since I changed my cell number. Same phone, same carrier. It's constantly telling me I have VM waiting but when I say okay go check my VM it tells me there I have no new messages. Yet the indicator will not go away. Any suggestions or way to manually remove/reset this??

Try leaving yourself a voicemail message, then calling it, and deleting it.
That should purge the icon.

I've had several voice mails since then but that same "8 voice mails waiting" alert comes up when my phone is restarted and the little notification icon stays in my taskbar. I'm frustrated and was hoping there was a registry entry or something where I could reset it?

This is resolved. AT&T actually had to remove my voicemail and add it again and then reset the indicator from there.

captivate sms text problem

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.

Voicemail Notification

this notification has been pretty annoying, so this is what happened:
i got a call and that person left a voice mail. my voice mail was integrated with google voice but the voicemail was set to "my carrier". When i checked the voicemail, i lost connection and it closed on me, so i turned off the device. I erased all the messages i had and rebooted the phone. When i turned back on i had the notification for a voicemail, but no voicemails. I was on stock 2.1 JF6 this whole time. I called the phone and left a voicemail, and erased that and turned off the phone and back on but the notification was still there. Its starting to get annoying, so please any help would be greatly appreciated

i just flashed to doc's master ics v12 and the notification is still there, could someone please help me get rid of this voicemail notification

SMS and MMS don't send.

Hello, how are you? I rooted the Note 8 with the SamFailV2.5 files from [ROOT][SNAPDRAGON] SamFAIL for Galaxy Note8[V2]. The phone was a brand new out of the box unlocked SM-N950U1 and I inserted a Verizon network sim card to use the phone on my family plan. I'm able to make and receive phone calls, and receive text messages, but not send SMS or MMS.
I've tried to enter " *#5005*7672# " in the keypad, I've tried " *#*#4636#*#* " as well; one of them tells me "connection problem or invalid MMI code," and the other tries to call that number and I get an automated failed call message. I've been unable to successfully make a new APN. I can "create" a new one, but I'm unable to find it on the list after I "save" it. I tried to switch to 3g only and that made everything worse, I was unable to make or recieve calls or texts on 3g. When I switched back to 4g,3g,2g,auto I had the same problem and had to reset the network connections to be able to make and receive calls and receive text--but still not able to send texts.
I'm not sure what the issue really is, what are your thoughts? One thing that I want to try is to edit the message center number to 316540951000 for verizon, but I don't know how. Is there a console command I can enter to change it? Am I heading in the wrong direction? Please help!
I followed the root directions on post #3 it said:
" VZW Custom CSCFeatures thanks to @louforgiveno
ATT,SPR,TMO re-enabled callerID and spam protect.
DO NOT FLASH CSC IF YOU WANT CUSTOM FEATURES! "
So I didn't flash a Verizon csc. How do I determine which csc to use, or is that not what I need? When I ran Odin PrinceComsy.exe and tried to select the csc I saw the log say it failed and that it was the for wrong model. The other thing I'm confused about is if I need to re-root the phone with nand erase all, or if I can just flash the csc by itself. How do I access the custom features from the root directions: "VZW Custom CSCFeatures" and "DO NOT FLASH CSC IF YOU WANT CUSTOM FEATURES"? Would that have the solution to the problem?
I've gotten a new sim card and rerooted the phone since I posted the question. Calls work fine, 16Mbs download with 7Mbs upload for data, but texts are still a problem. I tried different apps. With the Verizon messaging app I'm able to send mms and sms, but the outgoing texts are delivered 5 to 6 minutes after the send button is pressed. Incoming texts are received in seconds. I can't understand why the Verizon messaging app actually gets messages to go out when default and top rated messenger apps can't, nor why it takes 5 minutes for outgoing texts to be delivered. I'm happy about this progress, but its not completely fixed.
Advanced Signal Status app will not display the advanced menu.
I would like to share that choosing option 2 after dialing *228 will make connection problems worse, it's the reason I had to get a new sim card. After the *228 changes it was impossible to connect to lte networks, calls and texts stopped working aswell. Tier 2 of Verizon tech support told me a new sim card was the only way to restore connectivity.
What information can I provide to help find a solution? Where should I ask for help about this?

I'm having the same issue. Mind if I ask how you got it working or what you ended up doing as a result? Thanks!
