    hya all,
    well I got my new phone, sim free, popped in my sim and everything worked fine apart from the SMS/MMS, I can receive text's but cannot send them.

    Now I've gone through the help to set the service centre number, which was set on my SIM card, so I created a new "provider" and filled in all the details, I tried that and same problem. I also tried moving it from the SIM card to the phone and back again, still the same problem. I can recieve an MMS message but can't download the main "attachment", but I can't send an MMS.

    Do I need to ring up vodafone to get them to change something for the new phone ? and what do they do with sim free phones, do they say "not our problem" ?

    Thanks
    Muineach

    u will have to input your service providers service center number which is +35387699989 on vodafone. the option will be somewhere in message settings or communications i presume. as for mms those may have to be inputted manually or jst check the sticky on this forum and put the details in yourself..failing that bring it to a vodafone shop and they may do it themselves...its easy to do it yourself tho..;)

    quite often when an old sim is put in a new phone, texting stops working. If you've checked the message centre number then you need to go to a vodafone shop and get a replacement sim.

    as for the mms, if you can't download the attachment of the mms then you probably aren't set up to receive them. That problem might also be solved by a replacement sim but i don't think it will. Do you know how to enter the settings in the sticky? If not i can post up a guide of exactly how to do it

    thanks for the help, i'll give vodafone till tomorrow to sort it out as I can't get to a new sim card till then :) all the settings are right and I think I had this problem when I went from a prepay to a bill pay before.
    BTW the sim is old, I think I got it when the first sharp clam shells came out, which would have been 4+ years ago :rolleyes: god, i'm getting old
