    Posted on November 26, 2021 | By Acushala Dhar


    A person can feel that messaging services are of no use, due to the rise of digital media and other messaging apps. But, even to this day, all the important messages or queries regarding your data, company, OTP(one-time-password), or bank accounts are only sent through SMS, to maintain utmost security. And at this point, it gets frustrating and annoying if your messages or texts aren’t sent when you are in desperate need of it. 

    Assuming, you might also be one of them who is facing the above issues or has lost track of sending messages and is unable to send SMS Services through Android devices, just follow this page without a rush.

    First, we will talk about the general issues or checks faced by a person in case there are issues in messaging. And gradually, we will continue to brief all the issues in detail with the required solutions.


    The basic reasons can be:

    • No signal or partial signal, depending on location.
    • Change in settings, leading to Wrong Settings
    • Problems with Cellular Network
    • Network Jam, due to high traffic 
    • Issues with Phone Number- can be blocked, invalid or disconnected
    • Issues with the Phone or Operating System
    • Disfigured Flight mode issues in the in-built messaging App
    • Invalid/No message center settings (SMSC)

    The above-listed pointers can be some of the basic and major reasons for the interruptions in your messaging services. Let’s move on to ‘how to check the issues’, which will lead us to find the required solutions.

    Preliminary Checks/Issues

    1. POOR AIRTIME: There can be a possibility that your messages are not sent on time to the receiving end or are received late, due to the lack of speed or longer messages.
    2. DEVICE HOST SETTINGS: Check your device’s host, as this could interfere with sending messages from your device. 
    3. NETWORK SETTINGS: Check your cellular provider’s network and settings
    4. CONFIRM PHONE NUMBER: Confirm if the phone number you have sent the message to is correct, there can be chances that you sent the message on an invalid phone number or check if the number has been blocked by you.
    5. CARRIER SUPPORT CHECK: Check whether your carrier supports text messages.
    6. CHECK MESSAGING APP: Check if the in-built messaging app is your default text messaging app.
    7. CHECK SIM CARD INSERTION: Ensure that your SIM card is inserted properly, to function and send the messages. If it is, check your device’s network status. You can also check the same by using the SIM card on a different device.
