I have a Vibrant and my buddy a Captivate. He has a contact on the sim chip and telephone memory, but not as a google contact. When he attempts to message a certain contact, (just one contact is affected and not all), the message comes up with an error "must use 10 digits". The problem is, the telephone number saved to the contact contain 10-digits. He did say when he initially saved the contact to the phone, he ommitted the area code, and tried to send a text and came up with an error. He has corrected the contact, but the error continues to pop up, despite the contact being modified.
Any idea what is wrong?

I have had problems sending SMS for a while, i will try and send them and get a message telling me that the message couldn't be sent. I can receive them though. I have worked out that it is because my XDA adds a dialling code to any phone number that I have. For some reason when I enter a phone number in my contacts a "425" prefix is automatically added, and i think this is the problem. I have already gone into settings>connections tab>connections>dialling locations tab and deleted all the "425" prefixes from all locations but it still adds the prefix when entering a number in my contacts. HELP!!! PLEASE
think that I've sorted now, just deleted all of the existing dialling locations and created a new one
How do I see from which number a Text Message (SMS) was send?
Here is the problem: A friend of mine wend abroad and is using a different mobile phone number. I saved the new number in the contact file under "Home2 phone". Now, if I recieve a text message I actually dont see were it came from, do I?
(Even after clicking on the Message it opens the contact but shows the mobile phone number, not the one it was send from.)
Thanks for anwser
When receiving the message, all you can see is the name of the sender.
When you click on the contact, it shows you only the mobile phone number because, theoretically you can receive sms messages only from mobile phone numbers. A stationary phone number cannot be used to send sms
Torque77: Wrong. You CAN either send and receive SMS from fixed lines in most EU countries. And Rose can handle it without any problems.
Gipo: Just hit Enter when the received message is selected. Contact card will open with proper sender's phone number highlighted. BTW in threaded messages is enough if you just simply hit "Reply" - it will be sent automatically to correct number. (In fact, every number - even different number of the same contact - creates a new thread).
EDIT: OOPS, you're right. It just shows the card without highlighting the number (having a look I saw a last call, not the message). Then only way is direct reply in the thread then. Nevertheless, it's simple and reliable.

Sorry then. Guess Moldova is waaaay behind and this chapter.
No problem... Just an reminder. Nevertheless, you can't be sure, if it is a phone able to receive it (again - some operators forwards SMS as a voice message then).
At least at the moment you already know, that Rose can send SMS on ANY phone number stored with contact - if you have somebody e.g. with more mobile phones.
Yes, if you just choose a contact in the list and select "SMS" by right-left arrows, the mobile number is used. But if you hit Enter in Addresse field in empty SMS form, select an user, Rose will show you all available phone numbers for the contact and is able to send the message at any of them.
thanks guys
Just a quick one... had to reset the phone, When I used to send text messages, In the 'to' if I started typing a name there would be an option along with the '97686789' that comes up in the green suggestion box of the contact name, Now I just get the numbers that correspond to the letters that are meaningless. Is there a setting to get that back that offers me the names in that drop down?
Also, when I receive a text from someone in my phone book, it just shows their number and not their name, depsite them being on the sim, but not the phone, Is that relevant? Does it only show contacts when on phone not sim, and when I transferred sim to phone and you have the option of 'if there are duplicates only show phone' it still showed all duplicated in people and phonebook. And the sim number decreased from 197 to 123, This phone is NUTS!
P.S. Anyone else not get the weather for their area but did when they first had the phone, and now it comes up 'no data available' with just the name of your location instead.
Will this impending update be automatic?
i updated my I9300 International to 4.1.1 after Optus pushed it out a couple of days ago.
now i have 2 contacts with numbers 0428 xxx xxx, and 0438 xxx xxx.
before the update they were fine, however now it treats them as the same number for sms, etc.
if i get an incoming SMS from either number, they both appear under the first contact alphabetically.
same if i try to reply to the message directly from either, it goes to the first contact unless i specifically put the contact number in the address field.
is there anything i can do to stop this? have tried a factory reset, changing the 0's to +61, removed all contact links (Haxsync, etc) to no [email protected]
I have a problem with country codes. When my wife sends me a text and i try and answer it nothing happens. My phone sais the message is sent, but she never gets the message.
I think i have found the problem. The country code is missing. I have entered her phone number as +46xxxxxxxxx but in the text the "+46" part is missing.
Might be useful to know that i have a danish sim card (+45) but i live in sweden (+46). Therefor have i edited all my contacts so they all have the +XX code in front of their phone numbers.
If i initiate a new text message and send it to her it works as it should, but when she initiates a new conversation the problem occur.
Any tips? It's really annoying as i have no idea that the message havent been received!!!!
I read something about "international call assist" but i cand find that setting anywhere
