Cannot send SMS with Softbank

I upgraded or changed if you will, form Japanese to English...now everything works fine...but i cannot send SMS.
It simply says in Messaging "your text message cannot be sent"

whats going on there??

Thanks

Just so others can help properly it's worth checking that your text messages are not being received despite the message. For a while I got the message cannot be sent messages but in fact they were being sent!

To be honest...i hope they havent been received for now...because i sent them 4am to my exgf. and since the msg came up, i tried about 15 times. shes gonna kill me...haha...not a good way to patch things up.

Oooooh! Not good, hope you they were not sent I ended up with repeated messages sent all over the place. Maybe you could check by sending message to yourself.

i don't think you can send an sms from sb to docomo. isn't she using docomo?

I see a reply from qtotter which I don't follow but may well make sense to you. Just in case qtotter does not have the explanation the following may help.

When I had the problem I began to notice that some numbers worked and some did not according to the message sent pop up. (as I said before all were actually being sent).

In my case it turned out to be to do with whether the numbers were on SIM on Phone or had been imported from SIM. As an experiment you could try re entering one of the numbers that appears not to work and saving it. Then try it again, if it's the same as the problem I had you may find the same number now works. Worth a try?

i guess what qtotter meant was that SMS in Japan is only possible between Softbank(Vodafone) and AU. Docomo doesnt support SMS...
For the x01th (hermes), it is the only phone in Japan without a proper email address connected to the carrier ( at least to my knowledge, maybe Willcom`s awesome W-Zero series has no email...dont know)

About the issue with the sms...i will look into the contact list/ sim issue.
Guess i will send some SMS and Cmails (AU) around.
Thanks for the tipp....

sorry, i missed a word in my previous comment. i remember docomo supports sms, but only among docomo users.

it's more like there is no way to get an address with x01th and use it on x01th by default. firstly, if you put your sim into another sb phone and go to Y!, you can get an account. secondly, if you install an mms client in x01th and set up vodafone/softbank mms setting, you can actually use mms on it. there is still some problem which happens once in awhile, but it works most of the time.

by the way, zero3 comes with an email address.
