Change Message Center Number CM9?

[loughary]

Okay my problem is I'm not sure what format I need to use when entering my Message Center Number in CM9 I know how to get to the section to change my number by dialing *#*#4636#*#* then I choose the section for SMSC enter in my message number which is +13123149810 then I press update and I get "update error" I believe I remember something about the number has to be in a different format when using CM Roms.


The problem is I can receive incoming text but I can not send outbound texts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Dennis

Same problem

I have the same problem.

I flashed insanity iii (CM9 based ROM) on my Galaxy S3 recently and since have been able to receive texts but not been able to send them.

I used the number code, then went into Phone info tab.

Here I find that there is no SMSC number filled in, but when I try to Refresh or manually enter the Vodafone AU number I get Refresh/Update Error respectively.

I will keep trying for a while and post anything I find here.

EDIT: I found a solution at a Galaxy Nexus baseband & radio dump thread user efrant linked this wiki page in response to a similar problem with texting.

Basically, go here & follow instructions
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/SMSC_Updates
then go here:

and make sure you use only the first 16 digits of the code you get as the number in the SMSC field.


EDIT2: Oh, and make sure to thank efrant in the Galaxy Nexus post. c;

Hope this helps.

Cheers

I have the same problem.

Glad you got it corrected. For anyone else that encounters this in the future, here is a list of a ton of SMS message center numbers (multiple ones per carrier). It's a good thing to have bookmarked because I've experienced the same issue before and it seems to be rom related.

Sweet list, bookmarked for sure.

The problem seemed to be that CM only accepts the SMSC number as a hexadecimal PDU code, so make sure to convert the normal SMSC number using the website above.
