Hi all, I had this problem myself today- the unit receives and makes calls, receives texts but can't send them other than to the outbox.

Please try this first before taking it to the repair centre- I did a soft reset which means to restore factor settings of the unit with the sim card in (it doesn't work otherwise)

1. ** IMPORTANT**Save all your contacts and photos, etc your storage card first!!
2. Make sure the phone is on the general profile (as opposed to offline, silent or other) then type in *#7370# on the keypad. It will tell you that the phone will reset/restore settings. Click the 'ok' option when this prompt is on screen.
3. After that, you'll need to reset time, date etc. Then just copy all your contacts etc back over to the main phone and done!

And also there is an option called as reply via same message centre please put this to 'NO'. now you can send messages

To go to this options please check follow these steps....
1.open 'menu'
2.open 'messages'
3.Go to 'message settings'
4.in that open 'text message'
5.there is an option called as 'message centre',please entre your new message centre number and save it. set this as your message centre
6.Check the option 'reply via same centre' and please put it to 'NO'

Do a reset on the phone. Power down and then power it back up. If that is unsuccessful, you need to go into menu settings under message settings, then make sure that receive messages is set to allow.

Phone freezes when trying to type a txt msg

Do you have too many text messages stored on your phone? I had a phone like that, If when I neared the storage limit it would stop allowing any entering of text messages. Just go to the menu button when your in the text message area and press the menu key, scroll down to cleanup messages, select it and delete them all.
