Business phone will not let me text! :(

hollyhamill

My phone is paid for by work and they gave me the sim card. However except for on my old phone, I can not send any text messages. I just bought a brand new phone and have the same problem again! When I try to text, the 'message not allowed' warning comes up !

please help ...........

It might mean that your message settings are not sent. Look under the messages / settings to see if there is a message centre (SMSC) set.

this is almost certainly your problem. if its a really old sim and it works in older phones then get a new sim for free in a shop and you should be fine

Also try ringing your network to make sure your account is setup correctly.

Yes the phone works without a problem if I use another sim card. I kknow the account is set upi properly because it does work in all the other phones I used to use!

I can recieve text messages as well ...

in the txt sending options, check if the message center is the correct number

I had the same issue when I got an e61, you need to upgrade your sim card to a 64bit one, vodafone will do it for you foc.
