Can't send text message. "unable to send message"

by going to your message option setting and set text message.

check your message center number, if changed contact your service provider for the message center number :)

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.......

I am unable to see new messages on my nokia 5230 until i go into the message center manually. How can i correct the settings so i will have an indicator to inform of new message

I think your mobile's internal antenna is harmed. It is not catching the network properly, so take it to an authorized dealer and get it serviced.

you need to format your phone so that you can receive messages again...input this code *#7370# and then click yes...enter your security code...after that your phone will reboot...it will automatically on..so please wait until the phone open..after that enjoy texting again..hope this will help you

check that the sms settings are correct. if everything is okay and there and you have made changes to the phone since you have had it then change the settings back to default and try again. If you still have problems then look in the manual for extra guidance or contact the dealer that sold it to you

Hi,
This is a common problem. But there is a solution for this problem.
go to Messaging. Then hit Options. Scroll down to settings.
Hit text message. Options - Then "Message Centres".
Hit the Edit button and the following number should come up:

+47973100973
Save it and try sending messages. If again the same problem exist then call up your customer care who provides the services of your phone like Airtel, Reliance etc.. Ask the message center number and follow the above steps and save that service center number. Hopefully it should work. Thank you......

save all your contacts to the memory card,take the memory card out,then format by keying*#7370#,then key in 12345 when asked for pass code,that would reset your phone,try sending the text again it would work

Hi.
I have had the same problem with my nokia N73. Please check your SMS center number if it corresponds with the network you using, and that it has the complete digits typed in. And also, try to communicate with your network oprator to get your SMS center number. Good luck
