You can try LEO Privacy. I used it to lock all your private stuff like messages ann gallery and apps like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Wattpad even my messages. This is totally great and recommended! LEO Privacy Applock Hide Safe Android Apps on Google Play

Hi,

You cannot send messages because the message centre number stored in your mobile may be wrong.

Please enter the correct message centre number. To get the correct message centre number please call your service provider and they will provide you the number.

Menu > Messaging >Options >Settings > Text message >Message centres

Thank You

There are no settings for receiving SMS from any networks but if you want to send SMS , then the MESSAGE CENTRE NUMBER must be entered into the menu in the message settings.
This number should be given to you by the service provider you are using. SO call up your provider-Vodacom- to confirm the message centre number.

got a brand new nokia e71 and i can recive messages but i cant send messages back! it says unable to send to (name)

Try to to soft-reset your unit. (6 steps)
1. BUT Make sure you backup your phone memory to your memory card. Soft-reset deletes all data saved in your phone memory, including factory settings and pre-stored music, videos, etc.
2. Dial *#7370#. This would take at least 2 minutes.
3. Try sending messages to your own number.
4. If sending messages is working, you may now restore your backup of phone memory.
5. After restoring phone memory backup, try to send messages again.
6. If sending messages is not working again, chances are, your original phone memory is full and you should delete messages and contacts. You have to repeat soft-reset (steps 1-3). But your previous data should be accessed directly from your memory card so as not to directly save to your phone memory.
******ciao*****this works for me. took me an hour to figure out how this works coz I really like my 5320. gotta find a way to tweak and fix this anyhow =)

hello there!! thanks for using Fixya.com!

I guess these requirements will help you...

Requirements
To send and receive SMS messages via a mobile phone using a Windows PC, you need:

• a mobile phone that can be connected to your PC (some mobile phones do not have an interface for connecting to a PC)
  
• a Windows program that can control the mobile phone to send and receive SMS messages
  

Today, most mobile phones support at least one of the following options to connect to a PC:

• Via infrared (IrDA)
  
• Via Bluetooth
  
• Via a USB cable
  
• Via a serial cable
  

The infrared and Bluetooth option should be very useful to many notebook computer users since nowadays many notebook computers have built-in infrared or Bluetooth support.
The Windows program for sending and receiving SMS messages is provided by some mobile phone manufacturers. For example, Nokia offers a software package called Nokia PC Suite to their mobile phone users. It can be downloaded free of charge from Nokia's web site. Microsoft has also released a free program called SMS Sender that enables Windows users to send SMS messages via a GSM mobile phone from a PC.
In the following sections, we will explain how to use Microsoft SMS Sender to send SMS messages on your Windows PC.

Hope this will help you..have a nice day! Or try to reinstall the CD (pc suite) on your laptop or pc, this will make it very helpful as well.

i would suggest you contact your network provider and have them resend the sms /mms settings to your mobile ,
this will ensure the settings are correct to send recevie messages and pics.

Hi. Theres no way to send any messages via bluetooth - formally.
You can send messages by writing it first on notebook and send it forward with bluetooth.
If you recieve any messages from another bluetooth handset they will go to same place as your SMS. In your inbox.
You can send pictures, music etc. by going in the gallery, selecting file what you want to send, and click send. It may ask do you want to send it by MMS, IR, bluetooth or something like that.
This is my favourite. Search super bluetooth hacker from Google and send it to your phone. It may came to your inbox. Install it, turn bluetooth on, cheat your friend that you will send him some cool clips and songs. Then your phone will ask password. You both enter same password (example 1111) and you may have access to his/her phone. >:)
If you want to any more help, connect me and I will help you.

Oh! By the way, I think you can download online instructions from Nokias website. Have a nice day - with bluetooth.
