First of all, make sure that you have service and that your service includes text messaging. If you have all of the above, without powering off your phone, take the back of your phone off and take the battery out. Leave it out for a minute or so and place it back in. Replace the back of your phone. Power it back on. Retry sending messages. I hope this helps.

Generally if the phone is giving a "cannot send" or "message failed" error message then there is something wrong with the "switch" In order to fix this you need to contact your providers tech support and they should be able to fix the issue...
You can also try sending the picture to your own number... sometimes that will help push it through the switch...
Also make sure that you are using the area code of the numbers that you are sending it to...
Alltel for example, will not let the message go through if the area code is not inserted

Hi the problem you are having is with your message center number this is a common problem and usually happens after you have changed your sim card to another network all you need to do to solve this problem is call your service provider and tell them the make and model of phone you have then ask them for the correct message center number.
they wont charge for this and they will tell you how to set it up, you will also need to ask them to send you the latest wap and mms settings so you can use the net and send and receive picture messages. they wont charge for this either and they will send you these settings via txt message and this will then update your phone to the latest settings.
let me know if you need further assistance ok
plz rate this solution as i have a whole page of unrated posts, thanks

phone upgrades affect the ability of TracFone customers to send text messages internationally. Some of the phones identified to have had this SMS issue are the LG290C, LG420G and Samsung T301G. The problem is present when an error message appears on your TracFone device after you send a text message to an international number that says, "Check SMS Restrictions."
