Ipaq 614c unable to send/receive SMS.

After updating to WM 6.1 with the latest ROM provided in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416901 I am unable to send or receive any SMS. I have tested the SIM card in other phone and it works. Is there any setting available that I should modify?

Thanks in advance!

Problem was fixed with a factory reset! :)

I believe this problem is caused by having an old SIM card. My Vodafone UK SIM worked fine in my ipaq 6915 (WM5) and in many other phones, but when I got my 614c, it seemed that this model was unable to read the SMSC (short message service delivery centre) number out of the SIM, so SMS messages could not be sent. I found that my SFR (Vodafone France) SIM card worked fine which made me think it must be the Vodafone UK SIM.

When I got a new SIM from Vodafone UK, the problem disappeared.

You can verify whether this is indeed your problem by going to Settings > Phone > Services > Voice Mail and Text Messages > Get Settings. If "Text messages service center" is set to null, or another value that is not correct for your network, you have the same problem as I did. (You will probably find you are unable to set this field manually - it is read from the SIM.)

The SIM card was brand new. I think my problem was linked to 3rd party software that I have installed, but I could not figure out which one, or to a temporarily problem from my operator. After the factory reset everything worked fine and there are about 6 months since then.
