I’ve noticed that as of at least 6 days ago, people have not been receiving my text messages. However, I am able to receive text messages sent to me. I don’t remember when I updated to my current version of /e/OS. I’ve never had this problem before, other than very occasional SMS text messages I send that are not received. I’ve been trying to work out the problem with my mobile carrier today (Tello in the United States). The main thing we tried was doing a reset of “Wi-Fi,mobile Bluetooth”. The carrier agent also said that they would reset things on their end. However, these courses of action were not successful in fixing my problem.

Check whether the SMSC (Short Message Service Center) number the phone uses is correct:

• Dial *#*#4636#*#* … “Testing” menu appears.
• Choose “Phone information”.
• Scroll down to the “SMSC:” input field.It’s not very intuitive territory there. This text field can be empty, and the SMSC the phone uses can be fine nonetheless.First use the “REFRESH” button, this will put the SMSC the phone currently uses into the field, or “refresh error” if there is none.
  After the phone number of the SMSC there might be an added number given, separated by a comma. This is harmless.
  You can check whether it is the correct SMSC by looking it up online for your provider or by asking your provider for the correct number.If you decide to enter a different number here, you will have to confirm your input with the “UPDATE” button next to the field, else it will not be adopted by the phone.
