  I am using a Samsung GT-c3053,a very old phone.Recently I took out the sim card and put in into my new phone,and the message center number sort of changed,so I bought another sim card for my new phone.So I put the old sim card back into my old phone,and I can't send messages with it probably because of the message center number.I tried to change the settings with all the smsc numbers on this website http://www.ozeki.hu/index.phtml?ow_page_number=458 

  But I still can't send messages.Any solutions to this?I really don't want to go to Singtel headquarters.Thanks.

   

  P.S:Do you need to add a plus sign in front of the message center number?Just asking.

  Why am I unable to send SMS?

  You will not be able to send SMS if you have not set up the Message Centre number. This set-up process is a one-time effort.  Generally, the steps are as follows. Please use them together with your hand phone manual if necessary:

  STEPS:

  1. Enter Menu Mode on your hand phone
  2. Select "Messages" or "Mail"
  3. Select "Message Setting"
  4. Select "SMS Centre", "Message Centre Number", "Route Centre" or it equivalent
  5. Enter Message Centre Number:
     +65 9619 7777 (GSM user)
     +65 9650 0001 (GSM1800 user)
     Please refer to your handphone manual on how to enter the international prefix '+'.
  6. Confirm selection
  7. Select "Exit"/"Quit"

  ** Depending on your handphone model, "Message Setting" could be "Mail Setting" or "Message Editor".

  Yes probably you need to add, hold down the "0" key till it turns into +.
