Okay, so I'm not sure what is going on with my phone, but here it goes. I am currently using a Droid Turbo on Cricket Wireless (AT&T MNVO). I updated the phone to Lollipop yesterday and all seemed fine until I sent an MMS. I got a response from my friend, who asked if I had sent him a picture, which I had. My friend took a screenshot of the picture message I sent to him and it shows that it originated from a phone number with "346" (Houston, TX) area code, which is not my number as I am in southern California and have a 909 area code. I sent another MMS to him, but that message showed it originated from another 346 area code, completely different form the first 346 number. I did this several times with the same result.
I rebooted the phone & did several factory resets, but the same thing happens with whenever I send an MMS. SMS messages on the other hand work fine and show that they originate from my number. I checked the APN settings, allowed Cricket to send the auto configuration APN's, and even manually put in their APN's, but I get the same result. I tried different messaging apps (stock, ChompSMS, Next SMS, Hangouts, etc.) and they all do the same thing.
Called Cricket, but since it's prepaid service, they "reset" my network settings and told me they could not provide any further assistance with my phone. I put my SIM card back into my old iPhone and sent an MMS, which sent & was received normally.
I'm not sure what the issue is, any help would be much appreciated.
Well, after a week of hopelessness, another factory reset seems to have finally done the trick. Everything is back to normal now, still have no clue what went wrong with my messages.

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:

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.
For the past day I haven't been receiving any texts. I've tried 3 different friends phones on 2 different networks and 1 on the same network. I can send texts fine though.
A couple hours ago I tried calling my phone from a land line and noticed it goes straight to voicemail. I can make calls fine as well.
All the settings look fine on the phone, is there any special codes to enter to further check things?
Bells customer service is gone 'til Monday....
did you unlock the phone, or using any TurboSIM card unlocker?
Stock rom, not rooted or done anything like that. The only new apps I can remember using yesterday is the bluetooth module for astro file manager and trying the bump app with an iphone. Does that work by the way, android/iphone bump app? It wasn't for me.
Also, a reset to stock from the privacy menu hasn't helped.
yes i have bump installed, but so far not seen any iphony user with bump to try it on
are you able to receive phone calls if you put your sim card on another phone?
Finally got the number for data support from one of the local stores and they were able to fix the issue which was something on their end.
Yup, that just sounded too weird too be a phone issue
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
Bell has been having outage problems. It's probably due to the surge of new users they're getting because of the SGS. I called them up and they reset it for me or something.
Hi Guys,
I'm running Cyanogenmod 6.1 (Android 2.2.1) on my G1.
I received a text message but the notification then said;
"Text message rejected due to storage full"
(or something along those lines)
My questions are;
1. Is there anyway to get that text message resent by the network? If the phone says it 'rejected it' then presumably this means it has a not-delivered status on the mobile providers SMS system?
2. Can text messages be saved to the memory card?
Thanks,
Mark.
Not as far as I know. I had something similiar happens to me and I could never re-receive it.
This happened to me once and it never, ever came through. I gave up on it. Though a few weeks later it had happened again for a different reason. I done a manual search roam, tried to join a different network, it failed, put me back to my original network and the latest message came through. It worked a good couple of times for me.

I too thought this would work but it didn't...
Which network did it work on?
It worked for me on giffgaff. Though when it didn't work, I had left the phone for like 2 days before actually trying anything like that to retrieve rejected ones. When I got the reject message the last few times, I cleared space then done the roam thing straight away and it came through.
I don't need to be clearing space anymore really though. I just keep an eye on it even though I'm now flashing ROMs all the time. That roam change thing was when my a2ext wasn't configured/working properly and I was in the middle of conversations.
Arghh, this just happened to me with being on a magpieless Froyo rom and just being on a market binge.
Who's fault is this, the rom/phone not sending the correct response to the network, or the network being a ****?
I'm sure it should work, it used to be fine back in the day when texts went on the sim and you could have 10 so it happened all the time.
Its pants. The phone is supposed to send a confirmation back to the network of successful receipt. So either something isn't working with that or the networks aren't processing as they should.
Hello
On Wednesday, I was sending and receiving multiple texts all day just fine.
Now starting Thursday morning, i sent out some texts to 15 different people, all said they received it and texted back.
My phone has not received a single text since wednesday. It can do everything else, send texts, phone calls, etc.
I'm on cognition 4 ROM, i've tried hard resetting it multiple times, called ATT and they said I should be getting them but I am not. I have full service. They also said i'm not the first person to call about this problem. I've also put my SIM in another phone and still no texts received.
Any ways to fix this?

If you put the similar in another phone and you are still not getting them then it is a network issue. Are you using a 3rd party text app?

Nope. Stock texting.
That's what ATT is apparently telling me and it's pretty frustrating.
ATT needs to "re-activate" your phone.
I've had this problem 3 times. Sometimes it will take a few hours for all the old texts you missed to show up.
I had the same issue. Went to the ATT store told them I called customer service and that customer service said i needed a new SIM card. Got a new SIM card - problem solved. Then almost immediately all my texts started showing up.

I agree. Sounds like a bad sim card, especially considering you didn't receive texts in the other phone you put your sim in.
Hello everyone,
I have a carrier unlocked G920T which I am using. The current carrier I'm using is [email protected], and I've been having a bit of an issue. For some reason, my phone will receive text messages, but not send any. I checked the APN (which was updated to [email protected]'s settings), phone had a factory reset and such. The only way I've been able to send text messages is through GOSMS, which I personally don't like, and would like to use other SMS apps without getting an error when sending a message.
Anyone has any idea why I'm getting this issue? The phone's running Android 6.0.1 and my mobile plan does not have MMS/Mobile Data.
Sorry if I placed this post in the wrong section of the forums and thank you in advanced.

Not an expert... but this happened to me like 2 weeks ago...
I had to call the T-mobile (in my case) and they fixed it... as it was a carrier problem, some codes thing...
It was my SIM card that was giving me issues. Went and got the SIM changed, seems to be working now.
But it seems it's the other way around now, not receiving, but able to send. I'm jynxed.
