Error message 38 means there was some type of problem with the number to which you were texting. When sending a text message, make sure you are sending the message to a ten-digit mobile number (assuming you are in the US). If you're sending a text message to an entry you've saved to your address book, make sure that you stored the number with area code in your address book.

If all of that checks out, or if you've had no problems texting to this exact number before, you will want to place a call to customer service with your wireless service provider. They can look at message logs within their network to see what happened and why the attempt failed.

good luck

How to add signature on text messages

There isnt an exact way to add a signature at the end of the txt. In order to do so, you have to create a template with your signature, then insert the template at the end of your txt. However, know that it will count towards the 160 character limit. Instruction from the user manual (pg 38-39) below. Hope it helps!


Message templates
When you often use the same phrases, you can save the message under template messages. Adding the message as a template
  1. Press Menu > Messaging > Templates.
  2. Press Options > Add New.
  3. Write the frequently used message > Options > Save.

Sending a message with template
  1. Press Menu > Messaging > Templates.
  2. Select the message to send.
  3. Edit the message > Options > Send.
note: You can add a template while writing message. Write a message > Options > Add Template. Choose Text or Multimedia and select the message to add.
