Hi Guys,
My Galaxy S2 simply will not send any text messages.
It's a UK phone running on Orange network.
It was fine until last night, when I decided to root my phone.
Used ODIN and flashed with the insecure kernel, then rooted using the S2 Root app, and reflashed with 'I9100XWKE2_Kernel'
Now, whatever I do, text messages simply will not send. I've been in to Wireless and Network settings and enabled packet data etc, but nothing works,
Have I installed the wrong kernel, firmware etc?
Have you checked if your Message Centre Number is right?
SMS Screen -> Menu Soft Button -> Settings

Love you!
Never seen this number disappear before! Rooted my previous phone {Desire} and installed 100s of clean install ROMs over and over, odd!
where did it go?...
Have also developed this problem recently (possibly as a consquence of migrating from Litening Rom to Criskelo Rom), but I see people with new phones also have it so that may be unrelated.
I've checked the Settings both in Stock SMS and GO SMS Pro, but don't see an option for Message Centre number anywhere ... am I going blind, looking in the wrong place, or has the setting been moved elsewhere?
As on Criskelo Rom, Android is at 2.3.4.
Any ideas gratefully received ... really do not want to do a factory reset in the hope that it will get fixed ...
thanks.

I tried changing the value via the #*#*4636*#*# menu but it doesn't 'stick'.
thanks.
SMS problems
For those who experience problems with the SMS, probably the message center number has disappeared and displays as Not Set.
Open the SMS app and then press the left soft key Menu> select Settings>select Message Centre and type any of the numbers below in the Message Centre input box (depending on your network provider):
O2 - +447802000332
Vodafone - +447785016005
Orange - +447973100973 or +447973100974
It will sort you out

Just a heads up that this doesn't work on quite a few custom ROMs since they don't have an SMSC setting in the SMS app.
I ran in to this problem when I messed with the "preferred network type" setting in the *#*#4636#*#* menu. The only reason I did that is because my phone was stuck on 2G after upgrading my version of Resurrection Remix and I thought this would help. It didn't, and to be honest none of that menu seems to work properly on this phone. Settings don't stick and messing with them seems to screw stuff up in general, though perhaps I'm just stupid (likely).
My SMSC was then set to 00 and I kept getting an "update error" message when I tried to change it back to the right number. I flashed working backups of previous versions of Resurrection, only to have the problem persist (is this setting held on the SIM, rather than on the phone?) and even tried flashing to an old GB version of Lite'ning, still the problem persisted.
In the end I flashed back to stock Samsung ICS, and the SMS app in that ROM has a setting for SMSC when you press menu key -> settings. It was really annoying having to flash back to stock just to fix it, but I assume any ROM based on the stock Samsung version of ICS (rather than AOKP or CM9 based ROMs) will have this setting in the SMS app.
Just a tip for those not on stock Samsung based ROMs, I was tearing my hair out trying to fix the SMSC setting and thought this tip might be helpful.

I have the same problem, but nothing seems to work. After I flashed Resurrection 2.6 sms just stopped working. I flashed stock ICS. Same. I wiped everything I could wipe. I flashed other 3 ICS stock roms. Same problem. Flashed Paranoid Android ROM, now I'm back for the stock. The message Centre nr is correct, I tried *#*#4636#*#* and the SMSC code is correct there as well, but it is still not sending SMS. I am reaching my limit... I don't know what to do! I feel like I have tried everything...

Try flashing a complete older official firmware package then flash back to the latest using Kies?

Tried it. Flashed official carrier branded GB. Kies upgraded to ICS official soft. Upgrade worked, but it's still failing every sent text message. Again, checked and the message center number is correct, everything else works perfect, it's like a new phone, but with no possibility to send text messages. I have rooted and installed custom ROMS for years now on so many android phones with no problem, this is just ridiculous...
same problem.....
with go sms i can send messages, with stock message application doesn't work.
And i have succesfully configured the SMSC value
Check your carrier, I've had same exact problem and even went back to Gingerbread and upgraded to ICS officially. My carrier did something, elevate it past the customer service reps.

SOLVED!!!
I solved it! I walked into an Orange Shop and the girl checked their servers and there was a problem from the network. She reset something and then it worked with no problem. It took 2 minutes to solve! I flashed so many roms for nothing. Well, back to AOKP now... I'm happy!

[TXT&PIC MSG Solution found - update][Q] need help on mms problem for unlock at&t
I already search the forum for answer so far i read alot of other people have the same problem for the t959 but no actual working solution was posted, but they were old posts. I want to ask is there any way to fix this problem? My phone is a t959 vibrant unlock for AT&T network, I just got this problem a few day ago, I cannot send text message out at all but can only recieve them. I was currently using phiremod 3.0.1 when this happen I get a small triangle with a exclamation mark to the right of the message, I tried powering the phone off then on, but that didn't fix it. I tried deleting the cache and factory reset the phiremod 3.0.1 that didn't work either. Reflash back to 2.1-update using odin3 it did not work, updated to froyo 2.2 and that does not work. I even try flashing 6 other different custom roms and that didnt help either. I just finish reflashing it back to phiremod 3.0.1 hoping that would had work but it didn't. So now this is driving me crazy and I cant figure out what is the problem. Can any one please tell me the solution for this mms problem?
look at #4 post for my solution
I have a vibrant unlocked on at&t. I can still text. I'm just on rooted kb5.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
i did flash it to a couple of roms with kb5 but still didn't work, only 1 solution i can find is by sending the text as multimedia text, by pressing the menu buttom while im text message and choose add cc/bcc. Does any 1 know another solution to this?
My sms/mms solution fix TEXT & PIC MESSAGE FIX
OK so after alot of research, a lot of rom flashing i couldn't fix my vibrant text messaging, but i just figure it out today around roughly a few hours ago.
MY REAL WORKING SOLUTION
For some reason the vibrant is some what defective cause the message center number get earse or something like that. I notice it awhile ago after i flash the vibrant with a custom rom call revamped SS3, look at the bottom of this post for the link of the rom i use and a list of compatible roms for the vibrant t959 3g. What I did was use AIO vibrant toolbox to flash revamped SS3 then open up message by clicking on the icon and press the menu key on the bottom left of your phone and press settings. Now on the settings of message scroll all the way down and click on advance. In advance look for message center and click on it. Delete what ever number is in there, my was 00. Now enter this number in if your AT&T customer +13123149810, make sure you include the + symbol or else the number will not save. press ok to exit and you should/might lose all signal bar. Just reboot your phone and give it a few sec or minute to load then you should be able to text message again + message pictures also picture message takes awhile to send and recieve so just wait a bit. If your not happy with revamped SS3 rom that is ok, you can reflash it back to stock 2.1 eclair or to 2.2 froyo or to any other custom rom, you will still be able to text message and picture message cause the message center info are save in to the phone root dir.
ANOTHER solution is to use a sms/mms app that can let you change the phone number in message center, I dont know any app and if any of you readers do/does please post them up for other users to uses who dont want to flash their phone.
also please bump or tag or what ever to this post to help other vibrant users fix this messaging problem

How did you unlock it though?
After changing my wife's SGS3 from stock to a custom ROM she's having constant SMS sending failures (i.e. Not a single SMS can be sent at any time, from any where. Recieving SMS is fine). No such problems on stock, but on OMEGA v8, Foxhound 1.1, and Blackstar v3 sending SMS fails every time. Apart from that all custom ROM's work perfectly, and all were installed after full wipe/factory reset --> wipe cache --> wipe dalvik.
Any suggestions?

Have you checked your sms message centre number ??
Fixed
Thanks vegeta1, that did the trick With helpful replies like that your "Thanks" count will soon be OVER 9000!!!
For anyone else running into the same problem, here's the fix:
Dial *#*#4636#*#*.
Select "Phone Information"
Scroll down until you find "SMSC"
Refresh it.
This should fix the issue, but if refreshing the SMSC doesn;t work you'll have to enter it manually and press "Update". Luckily I could get the correct number from my phone and enter it on my wife's

I'm running the stable version of cm9. But whenever I reboot the phone I can't send an SMS without putting the SMS center number via the *#*#4636#*#* method. Can anyone help me out ..why does it keep resetting with every reboot?
By the way, it happens with cm10, miui..aokp.. any rom outside of Samsung based roms.
Nobody?
I have installed a few custom roms on my Galaxy s3 and as of last week when i have a custom rom installed i get no data (internet of call and mms) I reset the phone using kies and it all worked fine but now when i install any custom rom i cannot use data or calls. If i go into About Device and Status it shows no network of any description. I can only use stock rom fashed in kies.
Has anybody else had this issue?
PS. I get a small red mark apear in the to left corner of the screen as the phone boots and shows the samsung logo.

Do you have any APN options on the customs roms ?
Yes, I was using revolution rom hd and I look up the app setting for my network and added them. It would say registered on network but there would be a triangle in the status bar saying no network.
Ok, I have been doing some research and I have found out that I've deleted my efs folder. This means I cannot go online or use calls when using custom roms but I can if I restore with kies. Does anyone know what files kies restore would use to allow me to connect, if I can find these and place then into the custom rom files then I should be able to connect to the network again.
I installed Cyanogenmod 11 on my phone and I've been having nothing but problems with APn settings and not being able to send MMS.
I keep getting No APN specified on device and I can't send MMS messages.
I've reinstalled the rom many times reseting factory settings and wiping dalvik cache.
I've tried using APN backup and restore app to backup from stock rom and restore the apn settings to CM 11..
Nothing is working
I'm about to give up and find another rom..
And now for some reason I cant even access the APn settings in CM11.. The menu option isnt there..
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Its a CDMA phone and my carrier is Cricket Wireless its the 3g CDMA plan Galaxy S3 before they merged with aio and now use GSM phones and new plans..
CM 11 - 11-2014078-SNAPSHOT-M8-d2lte
If no one has any suggestions can anyone recommend a good bug free fast and clean rom?
Thanks.
UPDATE:
I've since tried installing Carbon Rom and same issue there.. I can't send MMS messages. Keeps saying no APN specified on device..
I tried looking up Crickets apn settings and entering them manually but every time I change the MNC? setting the APN just vanishes.
I tried just leaving that field alone and just setting the rest but I still couldnt send MMS messages..
I'm going crazy here..
I rooted my phone and now Im stuck on 4.1.2 unless I use a custom rom as rooted my phone wont let me update the stock rom..
I really liked both Cyanogen and Carbon my phone ran AMAZING compared to stock but without MMS messages and constant APN error popups I can't take it...
Any ideas?
