Using US tablet to send MMS messages - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a galaxy tab S using the Sprint service. It seems that either Samsung or the provider butchered the tablet so that it won't send text messages or phone calls. Is there anything in the play store or similar that would allow the device to use the sms / mms gateway settings to send text messages?

Cannot Receive/Send MMS/SMS

For some odd reason I am not able to receive or send text messages. I tried using Handscent and the app that sends your messages to an email account but so far and no results. I am using a Madaco 3.1 custom rom with the most updated radio (63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26). Also I do not have a data or texting plan and my network is ATT in the USA.
Thx.
Im not sure about mms ... but for sms check in the settings if you have sms service center number in there....
Yes, there is a sms service number.

[Q] where is the sms AP?

I have a 3G galaxy 10.1. I have a simcard tied to my mobile number, two sim cards one number. I can do all the normal data stuff okay but would like to send and receive text messages on the tablet as well as the phone. I'm sure I need an SMS AP but cannot even locate a default program. The tablet has an email and web browser client but I cannot identify what I use to send an sms.
Thanks
On mine it's the messaging app.

[Q] Can't send outgoing text messages

My Galaxy Note II can receive and send phone calls, I can use data over the 3 network and I can receive texts, but I cannot SEND texts.
My Note II is rooted, unlocked and running Jelly beans rom V5 on the 3 network in Scotland on a pay as you go SIM card. The SIM card works in my other UK phone (unlocked Nexus S), i.e. I can send texts when it's in the Nexus.
I have never been able to send texts with the 3 SIM card in the Note II, (as in this isn't something that was working and stopped, it never worked). My note II was able to send texts when it was on the Verizon SIM in the states.
After I send a text, the "view message info" screen show it as sending to a +44 number and says sent. Several hours later (after the recipient in question never receives the text) I get a text from +441144 (then recipients number) with a message stating " Your text - to - speech message to 01144 (number of recipient) has been rejected by recipient phone."
Calling my +44 contacts works just fine.
I have no idea how to fix this issue. Does anyone have any ideas/ similar issues with their Verizon note II abroad ?
Thank you for your help and time
Using rooted Verizon phone to text on UK three network
I had the exact same problem, three network, using a Verizon S3 with synergy ROM and a hacked APN (as Verizon would not allow APN to be added), I guess you figured that bit out? Using APN Manager Pro running as a system app as set by Titanium Backup Pro.
You also have to make sure you have all the right APN settings, this was done to make DATA work on the phone.
Now the problem you describe is exactly what we had, it's the format of your phone numbers in your contact list, for UK numbers while in the UK, you DO NOT use the +44 or 44... just enter the number as normal 0745 xxx xxx etc... and that fixes the problem. Btw It's quicker to log into your gmail account and edit all of your phone numbers in there, presuming you use Gmail to sync your contacts and not verizon backup as that won't work over here when off their network.
This does cause another problem though, if you happen to use Viber, then viber will not see the contact, so what you do for that is add ANOTHER entry in the same contact, so I use the WORK field, and you enter +44 745 ... you must have the + in there and you must drop the zero, this way normal text works using the MOBILE entry in UK format, and Viber can see the contact in thge WORK entry... all appears to work doing this.
I know it's off topic and you may not use viber, but if you do, then your USA contacts would have to change your phone book entry to +44 745 xxxxxx again including the + and international country code and they can then see you as a viber contact. To see my USA contacts I changed my entries to +1 xxx xxx xxxx, so an orlando number might be +1 407-999-9999 then Viber can see the contact, just use multiple entries within the same contact, there are plenty of fields available.
Hope all of this helps, took some time to figure it all out

I'm having this problem too, on a Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere 2 that I imported from America (it's got a slide-out keyboard, we don't have them over here), also rooted and running on the three network.
I've changed all my +447 contacts to 07 but texts only send successfully when I start a new conversation and pick the 07 recipient. When they text me back the number at the top changes to +447 again and I can't reply without starting a new conversation.
Any tips?
possible workaround
I've installed Handcent to replace the stock sms app and it seems to be working well so far. As far as I can tell, replies are successful and the number doesn't default to +44

[QUESTION] Sms mirror app

Hi guys,
I am using two phones with the same phone number. This is a service which my telecom provides. I can make calls and use data on both of them. However, only my main device can receive the SMS messages. Can you suggest an app that can mirror the SMS messages received so I can read them on my other phone too?
Any message forwarding apps are not relevant because as I said my second phone does not receive SMS messages.
Thanks!
