Since Saturday, I couldnt send out any SMS from my IPhone 3G. I could receive SMS. There's nothing wrong with my celcom3g account or my SIM card. I could send out SMS using another handphone (nokia) using the same SIM card.

I've tried using the method proposed by frozzbyte, but I was unsuccessful.

Serious help needed! Tolong!

Thanks.

frozzybyte,

Here it is:

*5005*7672*+60120000015#

Key that in the dialpad.

I typed in *5005*7672*+60193900000#, for Celcom. Message on screen, "Setting Succeeded. Service Center Address. No Address."....but it's not working.

Geram betul sekarang ni!

david,

I picked up this method from http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showthread.php?t=1848634

Quote "I just tio this exact problem; sms are coming in but I can't reply to any of them, or send out new sms to new receipient.

I suspected the sms.db got permission error, as I restored my iPhone yesterday while some files (including the sms.db) were restored manually.

So I ssh into my iPhone and found the sms.db file (and the ~/Library/SMS/ folder) have Permission set at 644. (Read only)

So I change them to 666. (Read and Write)

Bang!

Problem resolved.

So... obviously the reason I can't send sms was because the db cannot be written to save the to-be-sent sms resulting in the error.

Obviously, and like a bro mentioned, deleting the sms.db file should do the trick too (except your old sms are gone) if you dunno how to change file permissions.

Hope that helps.

I did not have to fiddle with anything else. " endQuote


What do you think of this procedure? What is "ssh"? How do I find that sms.db file?

david,

thanks for the pointers. i will try to do it tonight.

david,

ive edited the permission to 777. not working.

Ive tried all three numbers, 666, 755 and 777. no luck.

also no luck when i deleted the sms.db.

I think Im going to pay a visit to low yat plaza to seek help (paid) overthere.

i have had enough of tweaking the iphone.

* putting up white flag *

done that; i.e reboot the phone.

I've tried that SBSettings, but still no luck.

The only thing that I havent done is to reset the phone, but Im concerned that the phone might not come back to life!

I will look for Hanxz'ss help, thanks for the link.
