SMS fail - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

SE - Live with Walkman: Cannot send messages and call logs are messed up

My mom has a Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman. It's not rooted. From this afternoon I'm not able to send any SMS, but I can receive them. Incoming and outgoing calls are fine. I tried in both stock messaging app and also in Go SMS. It will say it's sending and after a while it gets failed. The network customer care people told to add the messaging center but I'm not able to find such settings in messaging app.
Also the call logs are messed up. If I call someone now it shows as "tomorrow" and not the current time. System time is proper.
Can someone please tell how to fix this?
Thank you.
Try repair option in Sony Update Service.

That option would be in the PC suite in PC right? Never had looked into that software. I'll try and report back. Thank you.

No, Update Service is another application from Sony Mobile.
It is different from PC Companion.
Try the Update Service, link http://www-support-downloads.sonymobile.com/Software%20Downloads/Update_Service_Setup-2.11.12.5.exe
Thank you for the speedy reply. I tried with different sim card now and the messages are going in that. So its an network issue. I shall follow up with the network operator.
Regarding the call log issue a restart fixed it I guess. If it still persist then I shall try the update service.
Thank you again
PS. Feeling like an idiot now for opening a thread for a simple problem. Actually the call log made me desperate

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..

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 .

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

Messed up my sgs2

I play around with settings in phone information in *#*#4636#*#*
now my phone can't send sms, but still can receive sms from other ppl. The weird thing is,i can make a call.
just Can't send sms
So.... any ways to repair this problem?
Thx
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
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

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

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.

one phone number cant call me

dear SIII fans,
well am a new user after being 7 years with Sony, and am soo happy with my SIII. but i have a weird weird problem need tiny help from you.
i can receive calls and make calls properly but my friends number cant call me, always gives him that my line is busy and i dont get a notification if he called or not.
can anyone help me. what can i do??
thanks allllll
Do you use Google voice at all? Could you have possibly blocked him on accident? A screen on and didn't realize and just happened to touch that specific key sequence? Stranger things have happened.
*Shaolin Shadowboxing*
no i dont use google voice, and if i blocked him, what shall i do?
Call carrier or go to online site and check. Could be his phone too. Do you use youmail?
