When trying to send message from my 6230, is flashes a message that "message services are not configured" The message services area on the menu shows no options at all???

Yes sir,to retrieve MMS data,you should activate you MMS/GPRS by configuring the settings of your network provider or Smart provider.

Here's how to Activate the your MMS/GPRS

Key in SET MMS and send to 211.

To download SMART GPRS phone settings:

Key in SET GPRS and send to 211.

Example: If you have a Nokia 6230, that's "SET MMS N6230"

To activate SMART GPRS:

Key in "GPRS ON" and send to "333′

To activate SMART MMS:

Key in "MMS ON" and send to "333′

Note :
The configuration settings will be sent to your phone. You will need to select "Save All" to save the settings in the phone. Some MMS and GPRS handsets already have pre-loaded phone settings.

Activation of MMS and GPRS will require a confirmation message from SMART. A message will be sent to the sub once the feature has been activated.

Tips If you are unable to send and receive MMS, try these simple steps.
1.Check if the MMS settings (for example, MMS access point) are correct in your device. These settings are sent by the operator or service provider. See Operator or service provider settings.
2.Operators usually set a limit for the size of a picture message. If you need to send a picture that is large in size, you can resize it before it is sent. See Image size.
3.Contact your operator or service provider to confirm whether:
•Data plan is activated on your SIM card.
•Roaming is activated when you are not in your home network.

IF you want to see your MMS through go to your service provide site.and click the MMS and fill the username and password, and hit enter. you see your MMS in inbox double click to view the MMS.

It is important for you to know that you have to have the multimedia message or configurations stored on your phone before you can send or receive multimedia messages. Multimedia messages include pictures, sounds and other items.
You can get the configurations by calling your service provider and asking them to send you the settings. When the settings arrive, you have to save it to your phone and you should be able to send multimedia messages then.
In summary, you have to call the customer care of your service provider and they would give you further information on how to get the configurations on your phone. Unfortunately, i can't help you in this aspect as different networks have different procedures.
Hope this was helpful? Please comment for more information if you need any.

Hello Sir\Madam,
I think sending message out has nothing to do with the phone but rather the service provider that you are using. The problem may be as a result of wrong message settings. Since the phone in question is Nokia, simply go to the menu on your phone, then select messages, scroll to message settings, then go to text message settings, check whether the Message Center No is correct (you can call the customer care of ur service provider to request for the correct message center no.) Save the correct number and exit from the message settings after configuring the necessary things. You can then send out your text message to see whether it will send. I hope you find this information easy. Try that first, but if you cant get the whole process you can take it down to the customer care of your service provider for help.
Regards

Just Try either of the following ....

1. Try checking the SMSC (Message Center Number) number configured on your phone. If the Message Centre number is not configured or wrong then you will not be able to send..but you can receive.
2. Check... is there any setting called Inbox Setup in Message menu, then Text msg Setup -> Use GPRS -> NO

With Regards

Hi, Please do Hard Reset. To perform a hard reset, complete the following steps:
1) Remove the battery cover from the back of the BlackBerry smartphone.
2) Remove the battery, and then reinsert it after a few seconds.
3) Replace the battery cover.
Please Check if the Browser icon is hidden. If it is hide then please unhide.
Please check if the service book is available, if not then please contact your service provider to send the service book.
Please check if Blackberry services are active.
If once you Unlocke the handset using Unlock code, then you can use any sim, even if you restart then you dont have to unlock it again.
I hope this information will be helpfull to you.

The result i found was to do with area info. Go to messages and select settings. make sure you go into area info and select reception ON. This corrected my problem i had with not sending messages.
