Yeay!!! Fixed now. Thx you all.
Woohoo!!
here's what happened.
I found out that my smsc number in phone information is 00. So that's wrong. Then i go Googling for my service provider's smsc number on the net and found this
+60193900000
So I've copied to phone info, but it turns out that it can't be updated. So i use my friends number, which have the service, did the 4636 thingy, go to his phone info, updated his smsc and copied the numbers appeared to my phone info. The number is different from what i found in google even though it's smsc. I don't understand a hell about it.
But the number appeared on my friend's can be updated.
So that a good news. Next i went to Go Sms's settings -> send settings, paste the number i found in Google earlier to the custom smsc number. And valla, now it works! Im back to my sms-ing life! woohoooo! Thx a lot!!! Love xda family. Hehehee
thx for hearing me out.
peace yo

Let me guess. You messed or pressed refresh on phone information>smsc right? Made that mistake and went to my service provider and they just gave me the right code
Edit: using stock rom i've input the code to 'message centre' in message>menu>settings

Yup,
Probably you messed up message center number. you can find on net or some other mobile , of your service provider.

So, i need to go back to stock rom, or i just need to put the code in smsc?

Well I'll try not to go back to stock rom first. Thx guys,appreciate it. Hehehehee^^

For me i went back to stock because i can't find the message centre in cm9 using the message>menu>settings way..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

If i beckup my current rom, go back to stock, change the settings, then restore my current rom back, so, it'll be back to my unchanged settings right?
I've searched my service provider's smsc. +60193900000
But when i put it in the phone info in *#*#4636#*#*, and update it, it shows update error...

Unable to send SMS on stock ICS roms

Okay as the title says, I'm unable to send ANY SMS messages from my phone to another when on AOKP, AOSP or CM9
It works flawlessly on the ICS Samsung roms though..
Can anybody please help..?
I've tried switching numerous roms..resurrection, hydrogen, F1 Galaxy Nexus, the SMS just doesn't seem to work..
Oddly, receiving works just fine though the sending is having trouble..

Yeah about that, I've searched for that but can't really find the message center number anywhere..

I tried changing the SMSC using the dialer code, however that doesn't seem to work when I click update it says update error and the cellular connection restarts itself..

Also, the SMSC displays 00
Something tells me that's what's wrong..
Of course it doesn't change the fact that I'm unable to modify it

Ask your network for the required information reference the number .
As you are asking about non Samsung roms its worth checking the relevant development threads .

Well i'm aware of what my center number is and also i just switched to a samsung rom and found out that the settings say that my message center number isn't set while it sends and recieves messages with no problem

What provider are you with?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
It's a different provider. I live in the middle east. The providers here aren't exactly popular
I think i'll re-flash my region firmware through odin and then install one of the AOKP roms through cwm and see if the center number persists
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I had this same problem! Thought it was the ROM but its just my message service centre was empty.
Method 1:
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Select Phone Info
Scroll down and where it says SMSC, put in your Message Centre number including post code +
Then click update.

Method 1 gave me an update error
Method 2 since I'm on a Samsung ROM right now, I can change the center number from the messaging app itself. So I did and went to the dialer, entered the code and saw that the smsc changed
I then tried to again manually change it (though everything was working just fine but it was giving me some odd 07.. Kind of numbers)
The manually changing didn't quite work then I copied the same number that was displayed before when I changed the center number through messaging app and pasted it in the smsc to see if now it updates and it works!
I think all I have to do now is go to an aosp ROM of my choosing and input the same number in the smsc

The 07 number was working but the other number with the area code wasn't... Now going to AOKP

Solved! Turns out if you save your center number in the Samsung messaging app it somehow sticks on and now it's still there in my Hydrog3n rom

Changing the mode from gsm to umts doesn't matter. Your sms function should still work. You can change this mode by going to system setting press more than mobile network.
Just factory restore your phone from settings. Make sure you backup your data first.
Hope this helps.

check for your sms center number in sms settings. mostly its messed up. Call up you customer care and verify your sms center number

Thank you for your quick answer,
unfortunate it did not work. I tried the sim card in an other phone and it did not work there either so it´s the sim card that´s the problem, apparently very unusual according to my service provider. Thy will send me a new sim card and that will take care of the problem.

Got a reply from Sammy. They said go to message settings and input the carrier SMS number which they provided to me. Did so and everything now works.

So the problem is either the sim card or your network provider.

I've had this issue on SGS (going back to GB) and SG3 with 2 different providers Vodafone sand Orange and different roms. No one was able to fix it, not their service, not XDA. My fix Go SMS Pro. Something about having a higher priority.

SMS fail

I've been having two major problems with my S3. Aside from the unstable data, now the sms stopped working, I can no longer send/receive text messages. I checked the settings and found out my message center number is blank, not sure if it has something to do with it, if so does anyone know the message center number for straight Talk at&t sim? Thanks for all the help!
Ps. I am on the wanamlite rom v2.2
Call customer care of atnt and ask them for sms service center num. Its a must. It shoudnt be blank. As for data it can be a network problem or software or hw related. You have to check wether cnctn is stable on other atnt phn. If yes then flash a stock rom see if that solve prob. If no goto service center and ask them to look through

Go to messaging app> tap menu button>settings....make sureyou have the correct # in the message center field.
If you don't, you'll need that # from your carrier.
