I have a friend in Brazil who just bought a Magician and he's having some problems with it. Basically, all his contacts in Outlook have the following format: +55 11 3333-3333 (country code, city code, number). When he tries to call anybody from his contact list the network doesn't complete the call because the phone is dialing the country code and the city code and the network (TIM Brasil) apparently only accepts local calls if you dial only the number, without city code or country code. He told me he tried changing the dialing rules and changing the regional settings but nothing seemed to work.
Anybody have a clue about a solution?
Thanks
M.
Same problem
I'm having the same problem. I live in Brazil and use TIM.
Plus we need to choose long distance carriers for every call.
DId you find any sollutions?
Tks a lot!
In Windows Mobile, would anyone know how to configure "+" in phone contacts to translate to specific international direct dial access code?

That is done automatically, you don't need to configure anything.
If you have special needs (some dialling prefix etc), you can try Start->Settings->Connections->Connections->Extended->Dialling Rules (translated from a German TyTN, so the names on your device will probably be a bit different. "Extended" is simply the right tab; I have a feeling that on an English device its name may be completely different )

Thanks.
Yes I do need to dial the prefix provided by a long distance service which is cheaper than default IDD service of my mobile company.
I have tried but somehow it didn't work. I will do further research I think I may not have configured the dialling rules correctly.

Hi,
I recently got a HTC Magic from Hong Kong, and when i go into the market, it is all in $, being in the UK, i was wondering, how do i change it to the UK region?
Also how do i check what region the phone is set to?
Thanks
How can i check which country the market is on?
Hi All,
Just wanna share a solution to a problem that had me frustrated for months trying to get sms working properly on my phone, especially after rom flashes.
This solution worked for me but I offer no guarantee to anybody wants to give this a try. Don't worry, it's nothing high level so it won't brick your phone or FC the hell outta ya.
## Edit: I know that most of you can set the SMS message centre number via Messaging app>Settings>SMSC number. For me, I can't do that cos for some reason, the ROM i'm using somehow does not have that setting option in the messaging app, I don't know why cos that's up to the ROM dev. So I used the dialer codes to access that setting instead. Either way works, whichever you feel is more accessible.
*Note: The SMSC number used in my example is for Singapore Singtel users only. For other telcos or even people from other countries, please find out your SMS service number in the list below first before trying out the steps below. The method will work only if you have the correct service number from your telco.
If you have the same problems as me:
Can receive SMSes
Can receive/send MMSes
Can surf Internet/No issues with data/3G working perfectly fine
Simply just CANNOT send /reply any SMSes
...then do the following:
Go to your dialer
Key in *#*#4636#*#*
From the menu, choose Phone Information
Scroll down the page until you see an item called "SMSC:" with a textbox right beside it
Tap on the textbox and key in the numbers: 06915669917777
Tap on the Update button
Exit the page using the back key or home button
Try sending or replying to a SMS. There you have it, it should work.
## I wished to compile a list of SMSC numbers of any telco of any country. Combined with the method above, you get a viable solution to what it seems to be a frustrating problem for some of us here. Feel free to contribute your SMSC info here and I will periodically amend the listing accordingly. If this solution still doesn't work for you then I can only say that I'm sorry, there's only so much one can provide. Hopefully you can find your solution elsewhere in the XDA universe, I'm sure there will be something for you.

Why on earth did you not read further? I mentioned that the solution is for Singapore Singtel users only because the SMSC number that I indicated is from Singtel. I do not know what SMSC number that the other telcos are using SO, I quote myself again:
For other telcos or even people from other countries, please find out your SMS service number first before trying out the steps below.

For the sake of pampered readers like you, I have amended my note in the post so that you don't have to waste kilojoules of energy to read. This solution can be used anywhere in the world. The only differing factor is the SMSC number used by your respective telco. That, is for you to find out. Therefore, I'm not restricting the solution to only Singapore Singtel users.
If anyone of you is kind enough to post your telco's SMSC number here, I will gladly compile a list.
Well yes OP is right but its a standard reply to all with SMS problem check your Message Centre settings posted here since the dawn of SGS2 .
List of numbers sounds good but those with problems wont search and wont read OP took months to find a well posted solution .
I say that as i have just answered exact same SMS question again .

Yes you are probably right. But I do not see any sticky on this issue. And there are plenty of feedback from pple trying to find solutions but only found questions unanswered.
I was just thinking if my OP can be sticky that probably it can help in needless searching.
Stickies would be needed for every single item on SGS2 starting with the On button .
This thread will be lost within days so no long term help .

Sure no biggie, sticky or not, I'm sure this can help in one way or another. Since there can be so many solutions to a problem, I'm happy to provide one out of so many alternatives.
In a way I made my own sticky by putting it in my sig

I think its a problem in my sim card from 2 days that i can't send sms, i also tried this a day ago but it just fails to send sms
But the SMSC number i used can also be wrong, so if anyone can tell me the SMSC number of tata docomo-india then i will confirm it if its a sim card problem or SMSC

Hi sahibunlimited, sorry to hear u have this problem too. As I have mentioned in OP, you might want to enquire about the correct SMSC number from your telco first before attempting this fix, in your case calling up tata docomo will be your best bet in getting the accurate info.
Once you get that info, you might also want to post it here so that it might also help others in your region who could encounter the same problem as well. I will gladly add your info to my listing.

Appreciate your suggestion. So, a shoutout to mods out there, if you have read this thread and find it sticky-worthy, please do so. I will do my part in actively maintaining this thread.
any more of you out there willing to contribute your info here?
I will just need your telco name and SMSC number. If you don't know how to get the SMSC number, you can acces it via Messaging app>Settings>SMSC.
OR alternatively, you can go to your dialer and key in *#*#4636#*#*. Scoll down until you see the SMSC item with a textbox beside it. Hit the refresh button and if you are one of those who did not have any problems with SMSC before, you should see a lengthy number appearing in the textbox. That will be your SMSC number.
I appreciate all that can contribute some input here.
A fellow Singtel user here so cant help you with any input. Just wanna thank you for making an effort to help ppl that may have such problem in the future!
Had a similar problem once on Aokp/Aosp roms, I switched to Samsung rom and SMS used to be sent but on Aosp it didn't work. The smsc was the problem but it couldn't be changed using the dialer code. It used to give me some error. The solution I later found was to go to the Samsung messaging app , put in my messaging center number and voila! It works just perfect in any rom now, including aosp roms

Im using Maxis in Malaysia, and your solution Solved my problem, thx :good:, Im just wondering since the no given 0120000015 is without the international prefix which is +6 , will sms's still work overseas or even in Sg whilst roaming?
I tried keying in +60120000015 but it says input error, only accepts the no without the prefix.
Just realised that I have to repeat the steps by rekeying the number in whenever i reboot my phone?? Any ideas??

sorry for the late late reply.
as far as i know, without the prefix it still works bcos when overseas u will be roaming and the overseas telco will recognise the smsc number by identifying your sim card locale settings, which i assume will declare the prefix that the telco should use. So no problem here
To be fair I will test it out since I'm also going away for a vacation soon.
As to you having to rekey the numbers, actually you do not have to. After keying in the dialer code, when you are in the interface, you may just see an empty box beside the SMSC field but you just need to hit Refresh and after 1-2s you should see the SMSC number displayed in the box. I dunno why its always showing an empty box but you shouldn't worry. As long you enter the correct number and update the first time, it should always be there.

Thank you very much for your contributions. Added to first post.
Yeah I'm on a different phone on a different plan but it seems like it's improper apn settings and wrong smsc settings as well that causes this. Kind of a pain.
