Cannot send texts as phone says no space for text message but I have cleared inbox, outbox and sent messages

hi..

This is because when you send the message it stores up in outbox and then only it wil be sent,As your phone memory is full no space is there for storing in the outbox. So please delete the inbox and draft and savedmessages so that you will not get this message again.

Thanx

You need to delete any messages in your inbox and outbox and sent and draft messages and turn phone on and off

follow the steps below to send text

1. login and select 'Send New Text Message' link from the Inbox, Outbox, or Pending views.
2. Type in your text message and save for sending.
3. Run the Motorola TEXT application on your phone, and your text message will be sent. Your message record will be moved out of the Pending folder into your Outbox online.

did you try checking if there was any text messages saved to the memory card or the phone itself.

Does it show signal bars on the screen and are you able to make/receive calls? If not then that is why. AT&T does not guarantee in building service. If you do have signal and it is working other than text, then check your message center number in the device:

From the standby screen, press Menu.
Press Messaging.
Scroll to and select Settings.
Scroll to and select Text Message.
Enter appropriate Message Center Number, then press Done. The message center number that should be there is +13123149810 (and the + sign does need to be in front of it)

pls delete some text messages in the inbox, outbox, and sent items to have enough space... tnx

clear messages in your inbox outbox and drafts to clear up space. restart the phone. then try sending message

I had this same problem and called Motorola for support. The solution is to clear text/mms message inbox and outbox. The default setting on my phone was to never clear the inbox but I changed that to remove messages when they are 10 days old, I have not experienced the problem since.

The phone allocates a certain amount of storage for messages on a whole. Even though there may still show space available for text messages, you have hit an invisible "limit" and the phone is now defaulting to MMS messages because there is "room" there. Delete a fair amount of messages and you should be able to start sending regular text's again.

try master resetting the phone see if that helps it
