Jake Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 My phone, a Nokia N95 (original one not the 8gb model) has suddenly stopped sending text messages. When I try to send a text, after it going into the Outbox and showing "Sending..." it then comes up with : "Unable to send message:Fred Bloggs Text message: check network services" WTF does that mean? I've googled it and found several folks with the same problem - but I've yet to find a solution. I've reset the phone. Installed the latest firmware Fitted a SIM from another provider. Still the same problem. Is the phone borked ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Do you have quite a lot of texts saved in the phone? Maybe 1000 including sent items, deleted and all other text folders? I had the same issue with my old N95 and resolved it by connecting it up to the PC suite, deleting all texts using that and then switching the phone off and on again.

Jake Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 No, only a couple of dozen. By the way folks, I can still receive text messages OK, I just can't send or reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Have you called your network provider? Are you with O2? If so, then this same issue happened to a friend of mine. They had to resend him some settings of sorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 I had an Orange SIM when the problem started. I've since fitted an O2 SIM but still have the same problem. So I'm guessing it isn't gonna be a network provider issue, right? Co-incidentally, the problem started the day after I had an argument with Orange because I wanted web access enabled on my SIM so I could use it in my Sony Satio. They wouldn't do it 'cos I don't know the PIN for the SIM, so I told them I'd take my business to another provider once my credit had run out.

Jake Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 could be the mesage centre number causing the problem have had that problem once, you might have to call o2 and get them to help you put that in Yay! It's fixed. Called O2, they got me to check some settings and found that the "Message Centre" was set to the wrong phone number in (Messaging > Options > Settings >Text Message > Message Centres > SIM message centre ) Thank you "vintage21275" - you were dead right.
