  • I've edited my post before yours deleski, showing exactly what is in my Phone Information bit incase that helps at all.

    I don't have an option to blank out the IMEI number.

    Tried that number there, no luck. Thanks for your continued help!

    Does running a ping test do anything at all?

    No worries it annoyed me when I could not get it working as well if only I made notes!
  • Do you think changing it back to factory settings would sort it? Surely that would set it back to what it was when I got the phone? I assume that deletes my contacts etc though?
  • I tried that on mine and it didn't work I think it's stored somewhere on the phone/sim.
  • Okay, I think I'll give the putting the sim in another phone thing a try.

    What do I do there? Just take my sim out, put it in another phone, put in the Orange SMSC number on there phone, press update, then take it out and put it back in mine?
  • Give this a go :)

    Got to the phone and dial *#*#4636#*#*
    Change the preferred network type to “GSM Auto (PRL)
    Enter +447973100973 in the SMSC field
    Tap Update

    That might work as I also have an iPhone which could send an sms but my galaxy nexus couldn't and as soon as I put the new sim card into the galaxy it worked right away.

    Try putting your friends simcard into your nexus and see if that sends an sms first at least then you can rule out an issue with your sim/phone first.

    Phone orange and get them to send the settings over the air to the phone
  • When I did that, it came up with an Update Error. :(

    Think doing the sim thing between phones is my last hope before I'd need to phone them.
