Why Won’t My Phone Send Text Messages (SMS?)
Text messages get routed through a specific number and the single most common reason for your phone to not be sending texts is simply that the number, hidden deep in the menu of your phone, is wrong.
The most common one is it’s missing the last digit because you accidentally changed it when you meant to do something else (did your handset used to send texts then just suddenly stopped?). Other options are that there is no number in the menu at all, or the incorrect number.
What you need to do is to contact your network and find out what the correct *message center number* for texts is on their network.
Then looking in your “Message Settings” in your cell phone look for SMS settings and locate the Message Center Number option.
In 90% of cases you’ll find it’s wrong. Just correct it by typing in the correct number, press save, restart the phone and you’ll likely be sending texts again in no time.
