Not recieving SMS, can send them - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, out of nowhere now it seems I can't recieve SMS. I can send them though. If I put the SIM in another phone I can recieve SMS again, but the ones that I didn't get doesn't show up either, like's they've been delivered only nothing happened on my phone.
I don't want to wipe anything so apart from the obvius (wipe, kernel, change rom, etc) is there anything I can do or try or test or look for to see if everything is working as it should?
I have my info on my signature

Check your APN's with your carrier. I have no idea why they would change out of nowhere, but check nothing has been deleted etc

I'll do and come back to you. Thanks.
EDIT
Checked, that's not it. As I said, the messages are recieved if the SIM is put in another phone. It's like something is preventing them to show.
EDIT 2
I ended up wiping everything but in case someone is interested, I suspect from Greenify.

[Q] Orange uk sms problems??

I cannot send text messages from my phone, it comes up as failed as soon as i tap send, it happened on froyd, so i went to cronos, it happened on cronos, so i went to 2.1 sensehero, still didnt work, so I bit the bullet and unrooted using the 2.73.61.66 ruu, didnt work, got the ota update to 2.1, still doesn't work, anybody else having this problem?, is there a fix?, as i can recive texts, make and recive calls, us mobile data fine, its just outgoing texts, its kinda annoying notbeing able to send texts
Have you contacted orange? (the obvious people to contact for this issue...)
I also get this problem on T-Mobile, although I only started to happen since updating to 2.1 ROMS. I've tried different 2.1 ROMs and different radios but the problem is still there. Was never an issue on 1.5.
My texts do eventually send though, they just fail the 1st time I try and then the phone automatically tries again. 2nd attempt usually works as I have delivery reports turned on to check.
A friend also has this problem with his Hero, although he is running official 2.1 update straight from T-Mobile.
Maybe it's just something HTC forgot to fix / didn't notice was a problem in their 2.1 Hero update... like the bug where you can't hide sim contacts in the phonebook (but you can in contacts).
Open up your Messages application. Press Menu -> Settings.
Click on "Service Center" - it should then say +447973100973. If it doesn't, type it in and press okay.
Your messages should then send !
i agree with Alex here as that is the most obvious one, if that doesn't work then contact orange to make sure there are no other issues...
thanks guys, i did as alex suggested, and all was perfecly fine,
thanks so much!

[Q] X10 Cannot receive/send texts or make calls or answer calls.

I can't send or receive SMS. When i try all i get is 'could not send' Also, i cant make calls and when someone tries phoning me they get told me phone is turned off.
Iv tried the simcard in different phones and it works fine in them.
I haven't flashed the phone or anything like that, iv also tried to re-install the firmware but that hasn't fixed the problem.
Any ideas?

[Q] Help! Is there anyway to change your number from unknown to your actual number?

I am using CM7 and I change my phone number by going to Menu>settings>call settings>my phone number but after I shut my phone off it does not stick and it goes back to unknown phone number. Can anyone help me?
Also has anyone successfully used the My Phone Number app by Lytsing to fix this?
it just usually fixes itself....i did reflash back to JFD stock a couple of times and it added my number on there...might try that...but I called t-mobile abt it and they said it corrects itself eventually but I still reverted to stock anyway to correct it.
Like he stated, your phone number should automatically update in the phone. I've never seen an instance where manually updating it would fix it. Have you tried removing the sim, booting the phone, shutting it down, replacing the sim and then booting back up again?
Contacts>menu>More>Settings>Own Number>Menu>Create>Reboot

Thanks to all seemed like it fixed itself, but in cyanogen mod, in the aosp messaging, isn't it supposed to display my picture for messages that I send. I am a bit confused about that.
I had to call T-Mobile to get the number fixed on two of our three phones.
Search the forums (always a good idea), there is a procedure you can tell them to do which should fix it.

It does...you have to add yourself as a contact and it will show your picture

[Q] Can't start phone calls and send text

Data works on my phone and I can receive texts, i just can't send texts or make phone calls. I tried installing a new ROM to see if that was it, but it did not fix. It started while i was on the phone with someone yesterday out of nowhere and it still doesn't work.
Hmm, no calls.. That sounds more like a bigdaddy619 question.
You may want to RUU back to stock and see if it works. But I would wait for another opinion before doing that.
Thanks man, I appreciate you trying to help with both my problem =D

[Q] Trouble Sending Text Messages

So, I have Cyanogenmod installed, and for some reason now I'm having trouble sending text messages. It's like I can send one, then none after that and sometimes if i reboot the phone it'll send another then no more. Is anybody able to tell me if this is something to do with the software on my phone or something on Verizon's side?

Did you check the APN settings for your text messaging app?
I had this issue once but a battery pull seemed to fix it.
Try this and see if it works.
