I just got a sony ericsson k800i - inherited it from sister because she has an iphone - it was an 02 phone which came to the end of its contract.
I can ring out and receive calls and receive text messages.
But I cannot SEND text messages !! (or even picture i don't think)
When I go to .... messaging > write new >
it should say - "text message" - but it doesn't.. it just says picture message or voice message or email - and there isn't any greyed out button either. I looked for the user guide on the website and it just says under troubleshooting:
"settings are probably missing or incorrect. - contact your network operator to find out the correct SMS service centre setting - 33 text messaging (SMS)."
whatever that means??
O and I'm with Orange pay as you go - i duno if the sim is too old or something? |

It is as the phone says... Contact your network operator. On their website you usually can let them send the settings right over. Also possible via the Sony Ericsson website self.
