E200 - SMS Delivery Unsuccessful

[Guest petermatheson1]

Right, something very strange is going on with my E200!

I have been texting this number for months now, and all of a sudden last week it has stopped working. When I try sending a new text or even reply to a text the send fails.

The odd thing is

#1 - I can sometimes write a message saying like, Hello and it will send. If I try and then write another message straight away & sent it. That fails. I have however had one or two odd full messages which have sent correctly.

#2 - It's not the sim. I am using an O2 Pay & Go sim normally. I have an old Orange sim I tried which also failed on delivery. Meaning therefore that it's a software problem on the phone?

I also tried sending myself a text message which failed.

Before I try a reset & re-install of everything is there any known bugs or fixes with this? I've tried searching around and can't find anything.

Cheers

I got this on mine earlier.... happened with a certain number once before, and then it started doing it again, so in the hand I had to use my other phone to send the message, really annoying.

try this

start-settings-phone-call options

verify that the sms service centre number is +447802092035

This is the service centre number for o2 pay and go

Checked the phone call settings and they are right.

Any other idea's as to how to fix this?

Element - did the problem eventually solve itself for you?

The 1st time it happened all it took was me turning the phone off and then back on. I havnt tried it since yesterday because I havnt needed to text that number again. I've never had any problems with any other numbers, just that one... So it might be working again, it might not. I seem to remember the last time it happened, rather than trying to send the text that failed, I wrote another one and it worked...
