My Alcatel GoPhone will send a message, but it won't save the message. I can't see any of the messages I've sent. How do I fix it?

Your unspecified model of Alvatel cell phone is buggy. Try to do a Factory Reset if bug goes away. You chould look up in your manual if factory reset is available, else you caould visit the office of your Mobile Service Provider, they know how to do a Factry Reset.
A warning, after factory reset you'll lose all your saved data!

you cant unless you send it to your own email

make sure that your acct is set up right,call tracfone

Either your Cellular Data is turned off and you're trying to send an iMessage, or you don't have any service and your trying to sent a text message. If you're trying to send an iMessage, turn your Cellular Data on. If your trying to send a text message wait until you have better service to send the message.

I am not familiar with Alcatel mobiles but I can help you find out the cause of the problem. This issue is another very common with many mobile users, and there are two main cause, 1. Message (sms) center and 2. Service(Network) Operator.

To fix the first one, you have to check the message center number, I hope you have another sim card with the same network. If you don't have, simply insert the sim card (your daughter's) on another mobile and try sending a message, how is it? If Yes, follow the next para, if No, then skip the next para..

After it's verified that there's no issue sending message from another handset with the same sim card, find out the message settings and locate the message center [should be inside the message > message settings > text message > message settings] and note down the message center number. After it's done, remove the sim card and insert it on the other (your daughter's) mobile, find and locate the message center number and compare with the one you've noted down (including the code before the 10 digit number) then replace with the one you've got from the other phone (exactly as it's shown on the other phone), save it and try sending text message again. It should work now.

If it's 'No' then call the customer care of the Network Operator and ask them to fix it. Must be from their side, simply the feature can be disabled or enabled by them. They'll let you know the current status of the sim card regarding text message.

Honestly I apologize that I can't give you the exact sequence to get into the message settings and to the message center, but I hope at least you'll be able to understand my instructions.

If you need further help, let me know.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

Click on messaging icon from main menu.
Click send message.
Instead of clicking text message click on pic/video message.
then you have 4 options TO: CONTACTS , TO Mobile#, To Email, And finally To Recent lict. Click on recent list and checkmark all the numbers you want deleted then click options bottom right corner then click delete.....
All finished hope this helps.

You will always have a copy of the message sent any time you send message.

Just go to "Sent Messages" you will your sent messages.

But if you mean saving it as archive. Select more after opening sent messages and you will have the instruction to select to save the message. 

It will be saved on your SIM card as archive and whenever you insert your SIM in another phone you will have it either under saved message or archive depending your type of phone.

When sending a message you have to select save and send instead of send only and it should save it in sent messages.

Hope this helps!!!

change your settings for "auto save." this is access by these steps: messaging, settings, all msg, autosave

When sending a message it will ask you 'send only' or 'save and send' you habe to pick the later x
