I tried to sent a text message and, after a slight delay, got the following:
Your text message cannot be sent.

Is there some sort of app or registry setting that I could change that'd ask if I wanted to resend the message? Having to retype in messages is rather annoying.
According to this post Windows Mobile 6.1 added this feature but I don't see it and I'm running 6.5. Maybe the HTC TouchFlo 3D interface removed it?

It doesn't retain a copy of the message in your drafts folder, or outbox...? Whenever I get that message I can just pull it up from there and hit send again
Whenever I get this message, after trying to resend it a few times, I realize I tried sending a text to an email address.
Make sure the number has an area code as part of the number.
Just another possible solution.
Is it for all text messages? If its a specific number sometimes the persons number is disconnected

this is the correct answer...if you have a good signal and you get that error msg, then that person has not paid their billy bill...
This problem comes up quite often if you've flashed a different radio onto your device. If you have flashed a custom radio, try out another or stock. If that's not the case, you might be in a poor coverage area. Both are common culprits, but may not apply for you.
SMS doest go to outbox folder
I have the same problem
When I have no service coverage I would like to type sms messages and as soon as I get it make phone send them all out. But unfortunately, when I don't have service HTC touch pro 2 keeps trying to send sms out and after a couple of attempts gives me message that it was not able to send it. I have to click on each message and resend it when I have service. Instead, I want my phone to put all sms into outbox sms folder and send them all when I actually have service.
I know other phones perform this function well. I went thru all settings but couldn't get it to put sms into outbox when no service available.
Does anyone have fix for that?
Also having a similar problem
Hi all,
Same, or similar thing with me. I'm on Vodafone in the UK, and I've got a friend who is on '3' in the UK. If I text him with a new fresh message, and hit send, it goes to him no problems. If he replies and I attempt to reply back - then I get "Your message could not be sent. Try again?" underlined in red. Tapping on this just generates the same problem again and again.
I've tried his number with/without spaces in it, ensured his contact name has no non-alpha characters in it, tried his number in +447xxx format as well as 07xxxx - all to no avail.
It does not happen with any other contact in my phonebook and I end up having to let the message fail, then forwarding my reply to him, so it leaves my device as a new message.
Now, as it's the UK, its nothing to do with him having not paid his bill (we don't get charged to receive SMS in the UK), and I've got great signal (I work for a Vodafone associated company and we've got a cell on-site, so it's full signal of HSUPA for me).
I am completely at a loss to understand why this happens - I have other friends on '3' that SMS's go to fine, so I'm guessing it's not a Vodafone to '3' issue either.
Any ideas anyone?!

PS: Stock ROM running WM6.5, unlocked GSM, nothing odd about the configuration/software either!

Anyone?
Thx,

change your network setting for automatic to manual. and enable call waiting now your problem is solved. i was suffering from the same problem but now solved
Does anybody know why I can't send a text to one person? I can recieve texts from her, I can call her, she can call me, she recieves texts from EVERYONE else, and I can send texts to EVERYONE else.
She's my girlfriend aswell which makes things just that little bit more annoying
Anyone had any similar problems?
Cheers!
why can't you send texts to her? error message? is her number listed as mobile?
No error message at all. My phone actually just goes along as normal as if it's sent. The text is even in my Sent Messages box.
And yeah, her phone number hasn't changed.
I text her, and she recieved it, on Thursday morning.
Then around lunchtime...they just stopped working. Not sure what happened!
maybe send a text to her and somebody else at the same time and see what happens
- check if she's not twice in your contacts lists. (on SIM card maybe?)
- check the format of the number +<country code> or just 0xxxx
- delete her from contact list try to call and see if it will show enything while calling, maybe you have similar number e.g. last 7 digits (not quite possible) but maybe some error number or so, if it will show something delete that as well
- after deleting contact, send a message, by typing a number
- try to send from different mobile - maybe it's a network error
- try to send new message not reply / or try reply, not new.
- try to delete messages history
- try to change girlfriend - sometimes, i couldn't send my girlfriend messages, but problem was in her
- reflash phone
come back with results
Haha, I will try those Except for the second-to-last one!
aah, if you have threaded messages, i'll guess it will help if you just write a new message to number - menu - new - text - and type her number
try it as first

Call your carrier and ask what is going on... and have her do the same. It's possibly it's not even your phone.

if you tried from different phone WITH your SIM in it and it worked,
then it wouldn't be carrier problem, I suppose you need to delete messaging DB. search for a tool to do so, or a backup app, or hard reset the whole phone and make backup of empty messaging in case it will happen again.
maybe she's not that in to you?
Yeah, a joke about that has already been made...nice one.
Anyways, we talk on the phone every day, and she texts me, but I've just gotta PM her on Facebook as my reply so...

Haha, girlfriend upgrades are so much more difficult than flashing roms.....at least with the phone there is no talking back....and you can always just take out the battery if it starts giving you lip!
I read through the post rather quickly so if I missed something I'm sorry, but are you sure the problem isnt on her end? Has she contacted her provider and had them check her line out? I know the provider can do something where they reset something on their end and it flushes the system out. Also did you try the above suggested and at the same time send the same message to her and someone else? Also have you tried sending an MMS to her? If I were you I would trouble shoot this while you both were sitting next to each other. This is a weird one indeed...
So..... solved or what
it's like watching a soap opera.
wth happened? figure it out?
I don't think it's a problem with your phone, I'm pretty sure this is a network / SIM problem, because my family has experienced EXACTLY the same thing. My sister's SIM card will not receive texts from my mother's SIM card no matter what, and they have regular old "dumb" phones. Even with both of them using different phones it doesn't work.
In the end we just bought a new SIM card because of the obvious annoyance it caused, although I can imagine it is much worse for you not being able to text your girlfriend! The only way I can think of fixing it is, as suggested, contact your network. We didn't try this but maybe they can do something! If not you should easily be able to transfer your number to a new SIM
I don't know what device she has, if she has a TP2 you both can try this:
(at least on WM 6.5) go to:
Start -> Phone (should open the dialer) -> Menu -> Options -> Menu -> Advanced Network -> SMS Servcice tab
Try switching between SMS over GSM or SMS over GPRS

Firstly, I would like to pay respect to the developers who mapped the hardware button for the camera app. Respect to you all. Starting this thread hoping those same geniuses would be able to solve this problem. Android generally has this crazy notion that if i want to send a long sms, it will be cheaper for me to send an mms. I get like unlimited sms but i gotta pay for each mms i send so everytime i need to send a long sms, it costs me money. plus, if the recipient does not have mms configured, its money lost from my side and nothing recieved on theirs. so is there any way to stop the native messaging app from converting sms to mms after 3 sms length.
currently using Handcent sms for long sms but its a pain and it crashes often.

uhm.
why would a long sms convert to a mms?
I've never seen this happen.
Have no idea why this happens. if i use "MyPhoneExplorer" to compose sms on pc and send them, this problem doesn't occur. tonight, i decided to send a long sms directly from my phone and i saw that it converts to mms. so decided to google it and it appears Xplay isn't the only phone with this problem. a quick browse on google shows that loads of device owners are frustrated by this. check it out on your stock device as mine is stock also. just bootloader unlocked and rooted ;-)
Yea, mine does the same, bootloader locked, and does it un-rooted and rooted.
Very annoying. You'd think sony ericsson would have made this an option.
But i did have this issue with 2.1 on my motorola milestone.
mine just gives me a notification saying it will send 2 SMS, it even counts down hoow many characters i have left until it adds another SMS to it (only when below 20 character left)

Its after lyk 4 or 5 sms's it turns it into a mms, i can confirm every android phone i have had (hero, desire, desire hd and xplay) have all done this, i resorted to sending half an sms then writing the other half n sending that lol
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
I just tested mine to 5 sms. All it does it countdown how many characters I have left for each sms, and then adds another sms.
Converting into an mms sounds like a cheap trick to make more money by some carriers.
I am with Vodafone Uk and they don't use this trick yet it seems, although thanks for this post because now I will be keeping an eye out for this.
Still don't see it as much of a problem though. Just send one sms at a time?
Happens often here (when going into 4th txt), I just break messages down not to get stung with a MMS charge.
It can be annoying as when breaking the message down you can get a reply from the other side before they have read the full message, which can cause confusion.

Try expressing your feelings to your GF one message at a time...
Have you tried writing the whole message, copy/cutting half of it, sending half then quickly pasting and sending the rest? Or email/call the person lol? It might just be me but my texts are pretty small.

Well the solution is to go with a network provider that doesn't adopt this cheap tactic.
Alternatively, telephone them and threaten legal action with demand for all lost money sent on mms.
Changing an sms into an mms can not possibly be legal.

It's not something the network controls, its a Android thing.
I guess it make sense to people in the states and how most contracts work over there.

Ok just to make a few things clear. I noticed this problem on my Xplay which has a stock rom 2.3.2 and i got it sim-free. i have tried it with several different vendors, like vodafone UK, 3, O2 and international vendors in Pakistan as well. Also, i've tried composing a message with no sim in it and still have the same problem. So its a problem with the OS and not network related. Saw the same problem on a stock Galaxy S Sim-free.
So Devs, please find a solution to this if possible.

how can it be network providers?
I got my handset SIM free (generic UK rom) and have used a few networks. it does it on all of them. and reports of it being the same on other Android devices.
It is nothing to do with networks, it Android OS.
Since this morning I am unable to send SMS on my UK GSM Orange Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
I am able to make and recieve calls, make and recieve MMS and recieve SMS but cannot send SMS.
Where in ICS can you check the SMS Message centre? Ive tried to view it in the *#*#info#*#* and there is a bit which says SMSC, but if I put in the orange message centre number which I believe is +44 797 3100973 and click update, the update fails. There no other settings I can find in Messager app, and the APN's are correct as I can send/recieve MMS and browse the internet etc.
Ive done a reset also, still same problem.
Can anyone help?
Don't hit update. Just type the number in and exit.

Make sure you have the right number. I had the same problem. Updating did not work. Typing it in did.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
call orange and ask them to send you an ORANGE MESSAGE UPDATE (OMU)
Have fun getting it sorted. Will be surprised if they fix it within 3 attempts
Fixed it myself!
Since you cannot (currently) go into messages options and set the message centre number normally, you have to use the info screen and the smsc bit.
However you cannot just put in the orange message centre number ( +447973100973). You have to encode it using the following site http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode and at the bottom left box type: n the message centre number in smsc then press convert. It will then give you on the right a Hexadecimal PDU Message. Copy the number excluding the letters and do not include anything after the 11. Ie for orange on the Samsung galaxy nexus the smsc is
0791449737019037. Click update and wait a few seconds then exit and it should work!
What a faff. Ics really needs the message centre number option in the messaging app.
Hope this helps someone.

I had exactly the same problem which the above has helped me fix, so thanks very much Marcus. For info Vodafone converts to "0791447758100650".
I had the same issue as well on my nexus.
I had this issue but fixed it by inserting a SIM from another network(Orange), waiting for it to set up and then swapping back to my Three SIM.
Here's the one for Three UK(contract) just in case anyone needs it 0791447728008000

Didn't work for me On Orange uk. Been having this problem for over a week it's really bugging me. Going to ring orange tomorrow. Probably won't be much help though. Last time i rang and they asked what phone i was using so i told them Galaxy Nexus and their system didn't recognise it
I have this problem and have not been able to find a solution. I'm in the US using SpotMobile. Their smsc is +16104680009, which converts to 07916101640800F911. When I enter this and press update, it gets saved (without the two ending 1s) and the messaging app doesn't give an error when sending a message (and I get charged for it -_-), but the recipient never receives the message.
I've also tried @rbiter's solution, but it doesn't work. The smsc doesn't get saved and I get an error when sending messages.
Any help on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Take off the last "11". It should be 16 digits, not 18.
Sneaky Way of Fixing this
I too had the same problem. Out of curiosity, I went to check the Hidden phone settings on my Galaxy Nexus, I love looking at the temperature of the battery, network location and all that good stuff. But apparently ICS is glitchy regarding the SMSC settings. It apparently wipes the SMSC number as soon as you enter the hidden phone settings... To find this I went to a series of steps. The first thing I tried was popping in other SIM cards from my carrier (Telcel GSM in Mexico) All of them seemed to work fine.. And my primary SIM which didn't work on my Galaxy Nexus worked on an old Telcel-Locked phone I had.. so this sent me scrambling.. The next thing I tried was to update the SMSC through the process of encryption provided in an earlier post, and normally.. none of them which worked.. I then thought that the Phone must be keeping an erroneous configuration of my SIM card, so I resetted the phone, deleted my G-Account.. and still it would not work. I then popped another Telcel GSM SIM card in my old Blackberry 8520, went to the SMS settings and it had the SMSC number, which for Telcel Mexico is +5294100001410... I then popped in my primary SIM card which was giving me trouble in my Galaxy Nexus and when I went to the SMS settings in the Blackberry.. the SMSC value was gone.. empty.. So I just typed it in and hit save. Popped the SIM card Back in the Galaxy Nexus.. and It's all good again. Android ICS in the Galaxy Nexus just wipes the SMSC value as soon as you enter the hidden menu and is unable to rewrite it to the SIM card. I had to use the Blackberry to properly configure my SIM card again.. Funny, I thought I would never use the Blackberry for anything away.. I got to use some of the junk I keep around..

It gets saved without the last "11" anyway, so it doesn't make a difference.
It's looking like putting the SIM card in another phone and changing the SMSC might be the only way. Too bad I don't have any old phones that take SIM cards
Shoot, was hoping that would work for you!

Did Orange send out any updates to you? They refused to for me for 24 hours as my number only just got transferred from Virgin.
Edit: Turns out it was just a coincidence that my smsc got deleted as the number porting actually failed (I can receive texts and make/receive calls which is a bit odd).
I also ended up ballsing this up when I was looking at the 4636 menus.
For those interested, the number/code for T-mobile UK is 0791449785788938
Okay, I've got a weird problem with SMS texts. I can receive them just fine, but if I answer that sms it doesn't get sent! I have to go out the app and start a fresh sms (instead of just replying and seeing the tread above) to get it to send! It's so weird!!
Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Complainer: Answer is not related to particular phone model.
I hardy remember but there was setting like "use defined communication center=YES/NO".
Center is related to carrier.
If someone sends SMS reply directly - not always works if at all.

There are no settings like that on the Z1 Compact. But I've slimmed the error. It seems that I can reply just fine to just about any number except one... my wife's number . Perhaps the thread i've imported is way to long (I think over 500 texts)?
Any ideas?
