I'm pulling my hair out here. I unlocked my Tilt today and loaded the Kaiser ROM on my phone. Afterwards I loaded the default MMS cab file. I'm successfully using Goodlink, Slingplayer, Exchange synching, PIE, etc. Everything works except SMS messages. When I send a test message from my Tilt to my blackberry I never receive it and visa versa. I do get the message that the message was sent successfully. I tried sending a text message from Outlook to my [email protected] and I get an undeliverable message telling me that [email protected] has restricted SMS email. I am however able to use Outlook to send text messages to my blackberry phone. Both on ATT/Cingular's network. Any suggestions would be appreciated, I'm pulling my hair out(or what's left of it) on this one!
well SMS is over the GPS network meaning if your phone works as in making calls your SMS should be working also. Call AT-T and tell them your SMS is not working just don't tell them that you flashed the HTC rom to your Tilt sounds like something on there end.
I had the same problem. It turned out that the ATT rep I bought the phone from signed me up for Blackberry Connect with no text messages, rather than the PDA plan, so I could do everything (even AIM, which used the SMS anyway...) except text. Maybe this is the case with you as well? If so a call to AT&T should fix that (and save 4 dollars a month?).
Unless, of course, the guy was totally BSing, as they tend to do.

Hi there
I've been having issues with SMS on WM6 - the OS issue is the only common thread between the two devices I have had trouble on.
It all started after I upgraded my JASJAM to WM6 using some of the cooked roms on this forum. Short Messaging would work for a while, and suddenly go on the blink with all messages you try to send remaining in the Outbox. You also dont RECEIVE SMSs. WHen I checked with the operator, they confirmed that messages are being recorded as 'delivered' on their system.
Funnily, I would start receiving SMSs every time I changed a ROM (and I tried out different WM6 ROMs for Tytn) before it went on the blink again. The problem also occurred across multiple networks when I roamed, so it wasnt network-specific.
The issue was not brought up at the Forum as I was planning to upgrade to Tytn II as soon as it came out. And so I did (upgrade, I mean) last week when the device was released in Dubai.
Surprise, surprise - I still have the SMS issue. I was able to send & receive SMSs for a while, and it went on the blink again after I received 2 or 3 replies.
I'm now convinced that this has something to do with the receipt of Short Messages, but would like to check if any of you have had the same issue.
For the record, I have tried the following to try and solve the issue:
1. Soft reset.
2. Deleting the Inbox folders on my storage card.
3. Turning Push Mail off (I assumed it has something to do with the two messaging streams being on all the time).
4. Clearing all SMS folders of their contents.
5. Turning "Delivery Notification" and "Use Unicode Messaging" options ON and OFF, together and separately.
6. Turning my SMS signature on and off.
In short - I've done everything short of a hard reset. I know the damn thing will work for a while if I hard-reset, but I cannot bring myself to redo all the customizations I have carried out on the new device, particularly the GPS software installation.
HELP!
Just a thought - did you try replacing the SIM card you are using?

Its not network or SIM card specific - I have had the same problem with about 6 different SIMs (I travel a lot).
BUZZ!!!
Any ideas, guys?
Are we really talking about a jasjam?
That's not a TyTN II / Kaiser, is it?

We're talking about the Tytn II / Kaiser / P4550.
I mentioned JASJAM because I had the same issue when I upgraded to WM6 on my Jasjam.
i'm not being able to send sms with the default program... looking for an alternative to try
edit: installed sms threader for wm6.... that seemed to help, i was able to receive text from skype and from myself... of course the text i was originally trying to send still won't go...
I was finally able to send the sms to the contact I could not connect to before. instead of texting from inside of "messaging" and adding a contact as a recipient, I selected the "send text message" option in the contacts area. oh, the reason I think the sms threader helped pertains to the test sms I sent through skype being received directly afterward. there was a twenty minute gap between send and receive.... it could all just be coincidence.... and works when it feels like....
Figured out the issue - since the problem occurred on my Hermes after I upgraded to WM6 and continued on my TytnII I assumed it had to do with some of my add-on software not being WM6 compatible.
True enough it was a vcard application I have been using for about 3 years now across multiple PPC Phone devices that was causing the issue. Removed the software, reset and my problems have disappeared.
Now I need a stable, light vcard application that I can trigger from contacts. Suggestions, anyone?
well, i think the format i have the number i'm trying to text to is saved incorrectly.... what format works for people country to country?
i'm trying to reply to a norwegian text, and it never goes through. i know can receive them no problem... there is no issue for sending or receiving texts within US... did not have this problem under WM5...
Greetings,
I purchased an unlocked 8925/Tilt over the weekend and had great success using it immediately on the TMobile network. This morning I noticed my SMS messages would not send. I could receive messages, but got the dreaded "Your text message cannot be sent." dialog.
I've checked the SMS Service Center number (via Settings / Phone / Services / Get Settings) and from what I can find via google it appears to be right.
I last used the SMS yesterday about 7 PM and it was fine. This morning at 7 am it gave me this message and has continued for the last 4 hours.
Anyone have any thoughts??
Thanks!
UPDATE: As it turns out the phone WILL send the SMS messages, but only when I have connected to a voice call.
Did you try a soft reset?
SMS not sending
Thanks for the reply.
I should have stated... I have performed a soft reset as well as a hard reset. I have verified the SMS Service Center number is correct as well.
Anyone else ever run into this?
Here's a stupid question, sorry if it offends: Have you tried multiple recipient numbers, i.e. perhaps the one that is failing is due to the number you're sending to, not your device?
cannot send SMS
Not a stupid question. I've tried numbers on different carriers with no luck.
I've called TMobile, and they want to me to try my Sim in another phone which I will have to try later this evening.
Just thought it was strange that it worked fine, I went to bed, and it quit working. Perhaps the Sim card went bad. I've had it a long time.
Tilt cannot send SMS away from home area
After days of testing, hard resetting and scanning this board I appear to have come up with the solution.
I installed "Advanced Config", adding a button to the Comm Manager for 3G and disabling 3G. Not an issue for me as 3G isn't available on TMobile in my area.
If I continue to have trouble I will try replacing the phonesettings.dll and changing the phone band as mentioned in this thread.
Thanks to help from this thread:

I've been having a similar issue for the past 4 days. I'm using dutty's 6.1 rom. I used to be able to send/receive sms and mms messages. One day, mms messages wouldn't work anymore so I did the auto connection setup in the settings panel and it corrected the mms problem. However, sms messages can't be sent out anymore. I always get the message "Your text cannot be sent." I can receive sms messages but cannot send them out. I've tried searching the forums and it seems like others are in the same boat. There is a thread stating that I should turn off 3g in my comm manager, but it is already disabled. I've tried sending the text message with 3g on and off. It doesn't work no matter what. I've also trying to setting the band of the phone for gsm 1800 like another thread had instructed, but that doesn't work either. It isn't a sim card problem because I can put it into another phone and send and receive them just fine.
Some one help me, please!
anyone have ideas?
figured it out. changed the setting back to gsm mode. i must've changed it to gprs somehow.
I Have a Tilt flashed with HTC 6.1 and (I think, but haven't tested) sim unlocked (with the kaiser sim unlocker tool). I am using it on AT&T. I don't use text messaging that often so it hasn't bothered me too much, but all my AT&T friends can send me MMS (I don't recall if they've sent me any SMS). However, one of my Verizon friends sent me a few text messages and (when he finally called) asked me why I didn't respond. I told him I didn't receive the messages. I searched for "kaiser can't receive sms from other carrier" and didn't find anything helpful. I hope I'm not missing something obvious. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
If you've ported your number in from another carrier, you'll need to contact tech support to have them update your phone number.
If you're not able to receive a text from one particular person, that could be something different.
Oh thanks I did port my number from Verizon. Who should I call Verizon or AT&T?
I would call AT&T Customer Care and have them verify that there are no weird restrictions on your account related to SMS messaging.
As an example, a friend of mine who did not wish to receive SMS messages on his Verizon phone was able to call them and have all external messages blocked. But he was told there was no way to prevent other Verizon phones from sending him texts.
I would also have AT&T verify that your Test Message Service Center number is correct on your Tilt.
I'm on AT&T in the US and I just bought a Diamond a couple days ago. I have unlimited texting/data plan but for some reason, about 80% of the time I try to send text messages, it says "Text message cannot be sent" and doesn't have any details as to why, it just doesn't do it. I then have to click "retry" about 5 times and then it finally sends it.
It only does this if I'm replying to a text, it works 100% of the time when I compose one and send it off to someone I'm not already having a convo with. Also, I know it's not my service because I switched backed to my Sony Ericsson and it works fine, so I'm not sure what's wrong with my Diamond. Anyone know?
It's the Diamond - I get this exact thing all the time and it's as frustrating as hell. I'm using a Sim free on UK T-Mobile. I miss my UIQ phone quite often but I do like my Diamond for the consistency of the OS so can't bring myself to go back to my SE.
I have a lumia 822 and every time I try to text, I get a failed message.
I get to make calls and even get HSPA 3G data, but I just can't get texts to work
any help?
If you're doing anything outside of normal messages (long ones, multiple recipients, images, funny characters, etc.) it may be trying to use MMS instead, which sometimes requires some configuration. Check the Messaging settings to see if it's using MMS instead of SMS. Beyond that, try sending a very simple message to just one person. Better yet, have one person send a simple message to you, then try to reply (if you get it).
SMS uses a mechanism inherent in the way modern cell phones work. You don't even need a data connection for it; if you can send and receive calls, you can (in theory) send and receive texts.
If it's really not working, I'd suggest taking it back to the store; there's something wrong.
I read that it's an issue with the phones, but some have reported that there IS in fact a fix for it, was hoping someone here knew.
I can receive texts no problem but sending always fails.
What carrier are you using? I would contact them first, I had a similar issue with my Tmob 8X.
Any update on this issue? I recently switched to SimpleMobile from AT&T and the text messages are not getting sent. Incoming messages work fine!
