Does anyone know of a way to change the SMSC number on this phone? Everywhere I've read says that it's supposed to be in the default messaging app, under Message Center, but it appears Verizon has disabled that. I did a full ODIN back to stock to check. Now I'm on 5.0.1 and there's still no option. The other solution was to do *#*#4636#*#* as a code. Originally special codes are also disabled on verizon phones, but I have those enabled in the file system. When typed, the code does nothing.
Anyone know of a workaround, maybe a way to edit SMSC as root, is it stored in a file somewhere?
If it's not possible, I'm looking to get Cricket wireless working correctly on this phone. Data, Phone calls, mms, and receiving messages works just fine, I have an issue with sending. I'd assume that it's a big no-no to flash an AT&T Rom correct?
Thanks!
I'm still looking for an answer to this question too. I've been at it for months. I'm currently wading through the output of "strings" called on the various .so files that rild is using. I've got root, there's gotta be somewhere I can change this verizon smsc to the tmobile one that i'm currently using this phone on.

Quite a while ago, I flashed to DCD 3.2.6. After that, I noticed that I couldn't dial phone numbers from my contacts, but I could dial them directly. When I would dial using the contact, it would look like the call was going through, then I would get three error chimes and a message saying the call was disconnected.
Finally, I figured out that the difference is that in my contacts, the phone numbers all have "+1" before the number, i.e. "+1(206) 555-1212". This is the international prefix (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_international_call_prefixes#Syntax).
I assumed that this was a problem with DCD 3.2.6. However, I just flashed DCD 4.1.2, and the same issue is there. I suppose I could go through all 223 of my contacts and edit the phone numbers to get rid of the plus sign. However, this is the correct format for a number, and non-custom ROMs have worked fine with it.
Anyone got an idea of how to get the dialer with DCD 4.1.2 to work with these phone numbers? I'm guessing I just need to change some configuration relating to my International Prefix (U.S.) Alternatively, does anyone know of a ROM that does work with these phone numbers and also keeps the GPS and tethering (via Internet Sharing) working on my Verizon XV6800?
Thanks,
Jamie
Got it
Okay, I found it.
In the dialer application, go to "Menu", "Options...", "Services" tab, scroll down to "Plus Code Dialing". The rest is self-explanatory.
Hopefully, this will save someone else some time.

I've somehow lost the ability to send SMS's on my SGS II. Likely during one of my recent ROM swaps. I've tried entering the SMSC when dialing *#*#4636#*#* but it doesn't seem to accept it ... when I do refresh it shows up as "00". I'm quite sure that's the reason my SMS's are failing - it somehow doesn't have the SMS gateway number for my carrier.
I've tried doing full wipe, installing other ROMS, changed the radio, flash the CSC...nothing seems to work.
I'm travelling this week and will be swapping SIM's, I (sort of) hope that will force it to the SMSC for my prepaid carrier and that when I get home it will put in the local SMSC...but I'm probably dreaming.
Any ideas?
When I had that problem I did go messaging then to options and put my carrier message code there.

Can you still call people?

Awesome! That did it. Can't believe it was so easy after all that (for some reason no one has posted this fix elsewhere, because of course I did a ton of Google Searching). Thanks again!!!
I am having the same problem now, but with Galaxy I. I go to the hidden menu and I can't input the smsc myself. It shows up automatically as "00" and I can't change it.
When you mentioned, go to messaging and then options, you meant settings? I tried that but I don't see any option where I can insert the smsc number myself...
anyone who could help with this?
can't send galaxy I
I have a friend with a galaxy S version 1 that can't send texts, but can receive them anyone have some direction in which to go, I will give you a cookie
thanks

I just had this problem and did tons of searching and couldn't find the answer. I swear this should come up more. Anyway here's how I fixed it:
1. Make sure your radios are the latest
2. Check your SMSC number (this is what fixed it for me, link below)
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/SMSC_Updates
is a good guide on configuring SMSC numbers (note that the AT&T number in the example is incorrect: it's missing a 9 as the third character)
Let me know if that helps!
I am having trouble changing the voicemail number on my Galaxy S2. At present pressing the voicemail speeddail does nothing other then prompting me to add my voicemail number and directs me to the settings app.
If I try to change it in Settings > Call settings, I get the error message 'Voice Mail Number change unsuccesful'. But no real reason why it happens and its annoying me greatly as I can't clear my voicemail counter without it and what not >_<
Tried power cycling and what not and neither of it has helped, so has anyone of you gotten any idea as to how I can add it to my phone or fix that stupid error. Any help or advice short of doing a full reset is more then welcome, and I do hope someone might be able to help me....
Thanks in advance.
There is a copy of your voice mailbox number on the sim card that may conflict with what you are trying to do.
Talk to your provider, they can flush your mailbox and allow you to reset the number.
How can they flush my sim card, or am I reading your comment wrong?.
Just for clarifying I changed provider on my phone and I am unsure wether the error happened during that change since I can't remember fiddling with the voicemail bit before the last couple of days and running into that error.
they can flush the settings for your voicemail on their server which will allow you to make changes to your voice mail account.
Well they tried something which advertantly didn't work >_<. But apparently the voicemail number isn't even on my simcard.
They tried even more stuff >_<.
And when I press and hold #1 on my phone it says there isnt a voicemail number on my sim. But trying to change it through settings it still says "Voicemail Number changed unsuccesful"
I have the same problem. Did you find a solution?
At the moment I have limited the issue to being operator dependant. Because I have the issue on one sim from my regular provider, while trying two other providers simcards doesnt cause this error.
Next on list is to try another simcard and then go digging in the phone to see what might be causing it. But I will be pinging you if I find the solution.
dnesdlrow, where are you from and what provider do you use?.
I've got the same problem. I flashed to a custom & now there is no voicemail number on my SIM card.
I called customer service and the gave me a 10 digit number to plug in. They said the number is different for everyone so if anyone else has the same trouble you can simply call your carrier.
You need to put in your carriers specific voice mail number. For example I am on O2 UK and mine is 901.
Use google of contact your carrier for the number.

Hello,
I had a similar issue. I changed the plan on my phone, and afterward the voicemail didn't work when I did a long press on the #1 button. It kept saying that there was no voicemail number, and when I tried to enter it into the settings manually it kept saying "Voicemail number change unsuccessful."
I called Rogers and they gave me a new voicemail number; I could dial it and set up my voicemail, but when I tried to program it into the dedicated #1 speed dial spot, I still could not change it. I tried copying it to my SIM card and adding it as a contact to select for the speed dial slot, but that didn't work either. I suspected that this new number was conflicting with the SIM card, so I went to Rogers and asked for a new one. Despite some resistance, they gave it a shot, and it worked perfectly thereafter. Just be sure to copy your contacts over to your phone before getting a new SIM!
I hope this solution works for others too!
Cheers and good luck!
Help please ...
I too am trying to set my voicemail for the speed dial "1" key.
while at the keypad screen:-
menu-> call setting -> scroll to the heading "voicemail", option "voicemal service", is set default to "my carrier".
I then choose to change the "voicemail settings" -> "voicemail number", and enter the new voicemail number to dial, press ok .... and this is where the problem is...
When I press OK ... I get the following error "Voicemail number change unsuccessful"
I would like to to have this number changed , as every time manually dial my voicemail number it constantly ask for my password.
Why is this happening, I have purchased this phone outright, it is model type i9300, running Android 4.1.2.
Hopefully this can be an easy fix...?
PS...
This also causes a problem with Australian virtual mobile carriers, like Amaysim, Kogan, Aldi, who use Telstra & Optus as there underlying carriers, and and also will cause issues when travelling abroad, because you will not be able to access your voicemail if the number can not be changed to the full international dialing equivalent..
Also Can't Change the Voicemail number
I'm running a non-rooted, GS3 from VZW. Running 4.1.2.
The current voicemail number is *86 (Verizon's). I'd like to change it because I'm abroad and *86 is not my carrier's voicemail number. Every time I go to Phone, Call Settings, Voicemail Settings, and edit the number to the local one, I get "Error: Voicemail number change unsuccesful."
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Same problem still
I'm on an S4 Mini with cm11 m6 and habe the same problem with a German T-Mobile card. I can easily dial the number 3311. Why can't I simply assign that to the #1 key?
I have a Verizon S4 that I am trying to use on a local carrier in my area: "THUMB CELLULAR".
When I insert my sim card into the phone I have data and voice, but no sms. I can receive them, but they will not send.
I've read online that maybe I need to change my SMSC but I cant find where to do that.
I am running the MJ7 4.3 software from Verizon.
I have tried dialing *#*#4636#*#* but that doesn't seem to bring up any menus. Any idea what I need to change or how to change the smsc?
-my phone is rooted.
Hi
I've searched around and read a lot but couldn't find the answer to my problem.
Here is my issue.
When I dial a number, it tries to call then ends the call right away before it even rings.
Can't receive calls either.
Can't send sms, nor receive sms.
Additional info.
I have full signal and it says my carrier on the status bar
Imei is correct - same as back of phone
Phone is unlocked - checked status
Unlocked with Galaxsim unlock, paid version
used repair gsii by helroz, didn't work
apn is picked up by the phone
carrier sim applications menu shows but don't work
Went back to stock with mobile odin, all the way to gingerbread which I'm using right now.
Please advice on what to do, any help is appreciated.
Interesting; I've never heard of this particular problem before. The first thing I would try would be a different modem, because that's a very easy fix. Also, incorrect APN's could be a factor, even though you say you've already checked that. I would advise checking them again - slowly. Sometimes something as simple as an extra space (or lack thereof, in the case of the 'default,supl' portion of the APN) can cause them not to work correctly.
Good luck.
I've flashed different modems and that didn't work.
Caller ID in settings give error network or sim card problem it says.
Btw I'm trying with different by Sims and both work on other phones.
Apn is correct I double checked. It picked it up auto.
Let me if you think of something else.
Thanks.
