Text messages can only be received but not sent. What is it?

Why can text messages only be received but not sent?

Recently, many users have reported that their mobile phones can't send short messages, so they can only receive short messages. What's going on here?

Reason 1: the account is in arrears or down.

If your mobile phone account is in arrears or turned off, then you can't send text messages. In this case, you need to pay the arrears or lift the downtime in time to restore the function of sending SMS.

Reason 2: The number of SMS center is set incorrectly.

Short message center number refers to the transfer station used by mobile phones to send short messages. If the settings are incorrect, you will not be able to send SMS. You can find the SMS center number in the phone settings to confirm whether it is correct. If it is not correct, you can contact the mobile phone operator to get the correct SMS center number.

Reason 3: Network failure.

If the network where your mobile phone is located is out of order, it will also make it impossible to send short messages. In this case, you can try to switch the network, or wait for the network fault to be fixed before trying to send SMS.

If you can't send a message, don't panic. You can check the account status, SMS center number and network status first, and solve the problems in time when found.
