Major SMS problem

[stoogman]

I know there are a couple of threads about this already but mine is a little different.

I got O2 XDA Orbit from ebay - put in my VodafoneUK sim card and everything works fine, MMS, GPRS, Internet and even GPS (don't know if the last one matters) - I haven't upgraded or changed any software or anything but my SMS text messages won't work - they sit in outbox for a minute or so then I get the error msg "your text message cannot be sent".

Ant help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Silly question but does the actual phone work - ie can you call out OK?

Can you receive messages?

My Orbit will receive OK but not always send in a poor signal area.

Stew,

To your answer sloss yes everything else works but I know what it is now.

I tried Start>Settings>Phone>Services...Voicemail and Text Messaging...select and then Get Settings........BUT it actually receives the WRONG yes the WRONG message centre number from the network.

Got a friends UK Vodafone phone and just copied his message centre number and Viola it worked fine, I'm so happy I could cry!!

Just thought this might help some others who may be having this problem.
