Fido - Sms sending failed ?!???
 

ok heres the problem when i try to send a text it says something along the lines of transmission failed, or sending failed. this is a fido sim and ive tired sending messes from multiple phones. does anyone know where the problem is coming from??

:confused:

Do you even have the proper SMSC in your message settings?

well doesnt the phone set it up automatically when u put ur sim in the phone? cuz ive switched a million phones with my rogers simcard and ive never had to manually enter any settings into the phone. but somehow this fido sim doesn't work with multiple phones.

Not always. Some SIMs have been prone to failing upon OTA from the network, so if you changed it at one point in time, this is what happens.

Just check the SMSC and that you're sending using GSM, not GPRS. :p

do i have to set this setting for every phone or just set it in one?

a friend of mine recently had that happened when she switched to her new phone, she thought it was the phone.

however when she called into fido, fido told her that her sim card was getting old and that it needed to be replaced. so she got a new one put it in and voila. maybe you might want to talk to the people at fido?

It doesn't hurt to check, does it?

do u have the correct sms center number?
+17057969300 for Rogers, and +15149931123 for Fido.

i havent checked the sms numbers, but i checked the setting and the setting was on the other setting that was not gprs. and it still doesnt work, i went to aberdeen fido next to the washroom and the more than friendly CS did nothing besides tell me to call fido. so il give that a shot tom

is it just sending or can you recieve?
because when i got my innov8 i could recieve but couldnt send and i just had to change the call center number

i receiving works, but sending does not work for sure, il try to do the sms center number, but dunno if i can cuz its jdm fone, and its kinda pointless to do the proper set up on my phones. also ive checked its not her simhack thats causing the problem cuz ive used her hack on my sim and her phone and i can send sms fine.

jdm phones you basiclly need to change that number its not a sim hack problem

yea but the odd thing was i never had to do any thing with my jdm phones, and even my sim card works with her jdm phone and hack

sometimes its weird,

my jdm phones are all fine, I just switched back into my sh906 and now the sms doesn't work I set the number back and it works!

prob solved, for some reason the setting was on the docomo service #, i set it back to fido and it works fine now thanks for all your help!!!
