This sounds like you're out of credit on your phone. When I send texts, I'm charged a fee. But it's free to receive them. Maybe this is why?

To avoid this problem, you can send and receive texts through your email account. That way you always get your texts, whether or not you're out of credit on your phone. Try Bulletin Messenger: https://www.bulletin.net/product-messenger.html

Although you already reset you're phone I would like to post a solution for others to see. For anyone having this problem just go to settings>applications and tap the "All" tab. Scroll down to where it says "Touch Input" and tap that. Then hit "Clear dataand FORCE STOP." That should fix the problem

1.Take a picture with your cell phone. You can do this by finding the photo function on your cell phone, angling the photo in the manner you would like and pressing down on the "Photo Shoot" button.
2. Find the function on your phone that allows you to send an MMS message. Go to the main menu on your cell phone and tap the MMS button. Follow that by tapping "New." You are now ready to send your MMS picture text message.
3. Type in the email address or telephone number of the person that you want to send the picture text message to. Use your phone's keypad just as you would for a regular text message.
4. Tap the "Add Photo" button on your phone's keypad. You'll find this button as an icon on the main screen of your phone. Another way to add a photo to your phone is to navigate your way to the name of the person you want to send an MMS message to and click on "Add Photo."
5. Click on "Send Message." Your message is then sent and you'll see a receipt on your screen that shows your message has been sent.

1. Go to a part of the Home screen where there's space to add a new widget.

this is a good how-to for a multimedia message, which includes pictures.

1. Press HOME and then tap Messages.
   If the Messages icon is not on your Home screen, tap the All Programs button on the bottom-left corner of the Home screen and then tap Messages.
2. On the All messages screen, tap Compose message.
3. Enter the mobile phone number or begin typing the name of the message recipient in the To field. As you enter the phone number or name, matching contacts will appear on the screen. Tap a recipient to add the person to the To field. If no matching contact is found, enter the recipient's phone number.
4. Tap the text box containing the text "Tap to compose," and then start composing your message. As you near the 160 character limit, a counter will appear in the top right corner of the text box to tell you how many characters are left. You can still continue composing your message if it exceeds 160 characters. A new message is automatically created and attached to your original message, and will appear as a single message to the recipient.
5. Press MENU and then tap Attach.
6. On the Attach window, select the type of attachment you want to send:

• Picture. Opens the Albums application. Tap the album containing the picture you want to use, and then tap the picture to attach it to your message.

Hi, issues like this are related to your Sim card (network),
not your Cell Phone . In most cases, regarding the text messages,
the problem is from the Service Operator. Have you tried the Sim card on another phone? If not,
remove the Sim card, insert it on another phone and try sending a message from another mobile to you number,
or you can do it in vise- versa by inserting another Sim card on your mobile.

If you can't receive text messages even when it's inserted on another handset,
then you will need to call the customer care of your Network Operator and tell
them your problem, they will help you fix it immediately.

You can check the message center number, but I don't think
it's very much important in your case, well, if you wanna try,
just check the text message settings and verify that the message
center number (which is currently in use) is the same number which
is on another phone with the same network (the other Sim should be
of the same network in your area). If it's different, make the changes
and save the settings. Also disable the "Receive Via" or similar settings..
(I can't recollect the exact settings as i don't have the same model with
me, please excuse me for this.).

If the same Sim card doesn't receive text messages using another handset,
don't bother to change the settings or to make any changes with it,
first call the customer care and verify from them, you may make mistakes instead of fixing it.


Hope that helps.

Thanks for using fixya.......
