Sms Problems

[koheesti]

Not sure if this is a Samui thing or should it be moved but I'll leave that up to the powers that be.

I use 1-2-Call and people have not been receiving any of my SMSs the past few days. They appear in my Sent box and my phone credit is diminishing so I'm paying for them. The first time I noticed was on Monday so it doesn't have anything to do with the system being overloaded for NYE.

Is this happening to anyone else? Does anyone know what I must do to fix it?

It is probably better off here.

Will move it back if you want.

some my sms's were received a month after being send - you have to wait and see

[sbk]

so is it that you aren't being notified when they arrive? You say they appear in your sent box, do you mean the sms you receive is appearing in your sent box? Could you have accidentally turned notification off?

Maybe you have a Nokia that has gone 'deaf', check this out

I can receive SMSs, I just can't send. Where it used to show "Message Sent" now it doesn't - but the message is still in my Sent Items box.

Do you have the correct SMS Centre number set correct in your phone?

It should be +6618310808 for One-2-Call and +6618110888 for AIS GSM advance.

Turn on notifications in your phone. At least in Nokia phones you can check from delivery reports folders what is the status of the sms's sent. I.e. if it's pending, delivered or failed.

If failed, AIS should refund already charged amount back to your card once they see the sms did not go thru...

Yes, I have the correct one.

In your SMS outbox, what's it saying about the status of the message? Sending, Failed or Sent?

[koheesti]

They are in my Sent box and when I check the Details, it says "Pending". I guess I'll find out if they all get sent out if people start replying with a bunch of "????".

Try turning off GPRS for text messages only (i.e. SMS, not MMS). GPRS can often cause problems very similar to the one you're describing.
