My phone started acting up yesterday anytime I tried to send a message. I keep getting the red exclamation sign and message not sent error. I have tried the Google messaging app but same issue persists. My operator told me to look at the message center number and change it. Problem is I can't find it in the message settings. I have an N950U running oreo. The option to change message center number was there in nougat message>settings>more settings>text messages.... None of the tutorials online covers how to do the above in oreo. Kindly help.
I have an unlocled carrier branded device, It runs on 7.1.1, for some unknown reason the service center number for sms got erased somehow the option to enter it is present in settings, but grayed out, a carrier employee told me that the only way to fix it is with a factory reset, but as I really dont use sms, as almost all The people Iknow, I do not intend to do a factory reset
You may try to use the automatic configuration offered by (most) providers. Through their sites usually you can get configuration SMS, which I presume also sets the message centre number.
You can take your device to the local high street retail shop and ask them to fix it for you.

On my Note 8 N950FD: Open the phone app-->tap the three buttons on top right-->Settings-->Voicemail Settings-->Voicemail number. Is that what you meant, or is there a separate "message centre" number?
Op is talking about the service number used for sending sms, voice mail number is for incoming calls not picked up, two different things

Ok that's what I thought but wasn't sure. Thanks
So in that case, I checked and am able to change it as OP described: Open the messages app-->tap the three buttons on top right-->Settings-->More Settings-->Text messages-->Message Centre. Not sure why this doesn't work for OP, but it did on my N950FD running latest version of Oreo (not greyed out or missing, I can change it). Maybe it's CSC or carrier related?
I have the same problem you have. Did you get yours figured out without shipping it off? I've been trouble shooting for ever and on the phone with str8 talk now. The n950u doesnt have message center. They even asked me to configure it.
Thanks
Thanks for the information bro

i've done some searching for the past few hours and cant find a solution to this problem so either i suck at searching...which is probably it...or my phone is just acting retarded...which could be it too haha.
i can't send text messages to (so far) only 1 contact in particular and it started last night. i was on ZeroXd-5.0r3 for about 48 hours or so, not having any problems with texting, until late last night. i try sending her a text saying goodnight, and instead of a response from her, i get an error message saying i need to "verify sms center settings are correct" and it never actually re-sends the message no matter how many times i tried. this morning i get home from dialysis and flash zeros new 5.1 release to see if that fixes the issue. no dice.
*my service center number is correct as far as i know - +12063130004. (i dont know what other service center settings there are to change, if there are any, im always down to learn new things! )
*2 other contacts who are also on tmobile received messages.
*3 other contacts from different carriers also received messages.
*the same contact i had this problem with last night who is also on tmobile, still wont receive messages, even after going to 5.1
i've done some searching and don't know what else to do as far as troubleshooting goes. id like to stay with hero and not have to go back to a cupcake build to see if that works but that's what i'm considering...just as another option.
anyone have any input as to how to fix this issue? i would greatly appreciated it!
**fixed the issue** all is good now =]
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.
Hey,
I can receive texts and make calls fine, but I can't send any texts.
I tried toggling data connection on and off, but that's a no-go.
Any suggestions?
Hi, I also had the same problem when I first inserted my SIM into HD7. It used to receive messages. Make & receive calls but not able to send messages.
HD7 actually tries to get message center number from SIM.
When I inserted the same SIM in Nokia E72, I figured out there are 2 center nos.
1. Message Center No.
2. SIM Center No.
HD7 took the SIM center No. & was not able to send messages. I changed it to Message Center No. and voila... I could send messages easily.
You have to go to Messaging --> Settings & check which number it had accepted. Either you can try to insert into any nokia phone & see another number too or else you can talk to customer care to get your message center no & change the no. in the SMS Center No. in your HD7 --> Messaging --> Settings.
I am sure your problem will be resolved.
@badboy70; Is your problem resolved after the given solution?
I'm sorry for the late reply, I haven't tested it because it was a friend who tried to use my phone, because he wanted to use WP7 for a week to decide if he was going to buy a Lumia or not.
He's changing to the same mobile service provider as me when he buys the Lumia so it should work fine.
I'll see if I can try it out anyway.
(And even not being able to text, he's thoroughly conviced about WP and will buy a Lumia)
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.

Well, go with them again... they must help you with it... its not phone related
Hi All. Before I give you the whole story. I have a Note 9 N960U1. After the Nov 2021 update I cant recieve calls from some numbers. I have done a system flash but still same thing. And if those numbers call me from a hidden number I can see the call but with an unknown number. I have tired every thing. System reset. Delete number. Checked call forwarding, checked donot disturb and checked block list. Infact removed all numbers from block list. Still same thing.
So this first happend to my colleague at work. He came next day and won't answer my phone. At my end the call is going through, meaning I can her it ring till it goes to the voice mail but he dosent see any notification on his screen only voice mail notification if I leave him a voice mail. So at first i though he was just bullsh***ng me. Next day he came and showed me. He has the same model as me Note 9 but the exnyox version. So week before Christmas I got the notification for the system update and so I went ahead and updated my phone and my wife's. We both have the same phone and guess what now I can't receive calls from my wife. If she hides her number I can then recieve her call but with a private number or unknown number.
I posted this on redit and another person verified that they can't recieve calls from certain numbers as well after the update. I do recieve calls from some number but there is no correlation between who's number I can or can't see. Also we are all on different network providers. Also all phones are factory unlocked.
Any help would be great. Please. Thank you in advance.

If your phone depends on a carrier you may try to ask them if it's not an issue with their network and secondly if they didn't release a corrupted firmware...
If this is the case, they should propose you a procedure to downgrade your firmware till they fix the problem !

All the phones are factory unlocked. Not paired to a carrier.
