Can't send SMS on Huawei P20 Pro - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

I have been using this device (CLT L29) for 2 weeks now and I've totally enjoyed it. This happiness only got shattered when I realized that I couldn't send messages on this device.
After series of research, I got to know that its message centre number isn't set. This is where the problem is.
My came with Google Sms as its default sms app and this app doesn't allow for manual sms message centre settings.
I need help guys!

They can't provision my phone to send sms automatically. I have to do it manually

I have the same problem since i've update to .131

Somebody, anybody, please help with this issue I'm facing

How did this happened? I'm also in 131 and everything works fine.

OTA Update 2.19.111.3

Anyone else who got this update?? If yes what are the new features?? It only says bug fixes. But i noticed that joyn was uninstalled and is now included in the sms app. I can change at the top between sms and joyn. But i don't know how pictures are send via mms, or via joyn. And i cannot change to sms for ever. So evertime i reopen sms the text message will be send via joyn if i don't change it for every message. Is there a way to make SMS to default??

Check the version number, I think it might be 4.4.4. As far as joyn is concerned, I have heard about it for the first time.....mainly because it only may have a user base in Europe. Joyn wasn't included in my phone.(Bought mine in Saudi Arabia)
Still on 4.4.2. Maybe the Telekom just moved joyn and sms together in one app. My one is branded.

Most likely, carrier branded phones usually have a different software version and update cycle

MMS Issue + Invalid Recipient Issue

Has anyone noticed an oddness with the stock messaging app on the P9?
When I send out a group message, say to 2 or 3 of my friends. When they reply to the message, their messages come separate as individual messages and not show up in the original message thread that was sent.
I had the EVA-10(Chinese dual sim 64gb) but got rid of that and got the L09 Int'l Unlocked single sim version. Both are doing the same thing.
Just wanted to see if anyone knows if there is a solution to fix this?
Also, I didn't have this issue on the Chinese version but I am having it on this Int'l Unlocked version. The stock messaging app is giving me this error when I want to text someone. 3rd party apps work but the stock is not allowing me to text people within the app. If I go under contacts and choose to send a text through the contacts app with the default messaging app, it works just fine but it won't work from the messaging app directly. Really odd.
Thanks
Huawei P9 stock SMS app issues - need group MMS fix
I confirm having the same issue with the unlocked international (EVA-L09) version of the Huawei P9.
You can fix the texting individual people by reformatting your contact numbers into appropriate international format with Playstore app "Twitch 2.0". That worked great for me and avoided the need for any root access.
I still need a fix for the group MMS issue. All me sends to/from a group always come through individually.
Hope we find a fix!!
Yes I noticed the invalid number issue had something to do with only US numbers. Every int'l number I had in my contacts would work just fine. All I had to do was to put a +1 in front of the US people and that fixed the issue but like you said no solution for the MMS issue at the moment. I am hoping with @paulobrien getting a ROM out soon, we might get our issue resolved. I will shoot a tweet out to Huawei too but doubt they will even respond.
Any update on this issue? I'm experiencing the same problem and was hoping someone had figured it out by now.
I know this is an old thread, but was hoping someone found a fix for the group MMS issue? I have a P10 and the same thing is happening. Huawei support was no help.

sms stopped working following Samsung app update - uk

Just wanted to let everyone know that 2 days ago I received a Samsung update that stopped my sms texts being sent.
After spending time on with ee trying to find a solution, it appears that the update removed the message center number! Needed to get it from ee to restore messages.
Oh and by the way I was using textra as my default app!
Anyway this might help resolve others frustrations.... Happy xmas

well, i can't send and receive sms... anyone knows what to do?
Perhaps you should provide information as to what your carriers and your plans are.
By default phone uses "Force close/stop" feature to prevent apps from running in background to save memory. As a result when you swipe remove the message/sms app or any other app from backround app list, they get forced shut down and you wont receive any message or they won't function any more. Follow this step to enable receiving sms or any other app:
Go to Settings > System > Advanced > 'DESELECT' Deep process clean
That's all

You still haven't provided information on your Carrier or your Carrier Plan.
How can you expect to have any help?
If you have Verizon, call them and ask to add CDMA-Less provisioning. I work for vzw and have had plenty of customers with this issue when using non mainstream brand devices
