SMS/Text Messaging - Sailfish Troubleshooting Discussions on JollaTides Community Port

I did a search on the forum & I've rad through the FAQs on the main Jolla site, so apologies if this has been asked/answered already

I tried to send my first SMS this morning, with no success (according to the phone I had a good 3g signal) - the phone told me "Problem with sending message"

There's nothing in the settings that lets me see what options are set, no choice of connection

Has anyone else had a problem sending SMS and how have you resolved it?

The first test SMS I sent last night went through fine.

I would point out my phone is set to 2G only currently - maybe you could test this out on 2G only mode and see if the SMS can send ?

I'll give it a go - how do I switch to 2g?

OK, tried on 2G - still no joy

It sounds like a problem with your network provider. When I first inserted the sim card, the settings all seemed to come through automatically.

Try this:

1/ Remove sim while running, clean sim contacts, reinsert and wait, then try sending SMS.

if that doesn't work, try:

2/ Turn off phone, remove sim, clean sim contacts, reinsert, reboot and wait. Then try sending an SMS.

Think it's working now - I got someone to text me and I replied to that

Hopefully the earlier problem was a one off

Howdy, Stranger!
