I've been using a lumia 822 in Europe. Its unlocked, originally on Verizon. It was working fine until I updated it with the latest version of wp8 (portico update). Now I can't send SMS whatsoever. I can however receive and make calls and I can also receive sms. Does anyone else have this problem, or any solution? I've hard reset and checked service number but nothing has helped

I had that issue and had to uninstall Skype and then reinstall it and everything worked normal again.

[senbobaggins]

I saw your idea and i tried that first, but unfortunately it didn't work. I've tried a soft and hard reset but to no avail. I'm hoping this gets some momentum on wpcentral so somebody might figure out a fix. Is there anyway of undoing an update

Is there anyway of undoing an update

Not unless you find the original ROM and reflash the device.

I have the same problem, Nokia 822- internet is good, calling is good, can receive text message just can't send them. I hope this problem gets resolved. Use without Update ?

[senbobaggins]

We could we waiting months for a fix! I've tried all the suggestions, but still no luck

This seems to be a common problem since portico, see these links;

Nokia Lumia 822 SMS can't send Support | T-Mobile

According to this thread on the TM page, updating to Portico solved this guys SMS problem on T-Mobile.

I think theres also mention of taking the phone off the automatic ie Hglobal mode and manually switching it to GSM mode

Hope this helps

I had the same problem after portico update.Was not able to send sms. I am using 822 in India and what I notice is when I turn on sms delivery message, I get the message that mobile operator cannot send your message(something like that). Now here interseting point is , if I want to message at say +91 1234567890 then the error message from mobile operator says it cannot deliver to #011+91 1234567890 right now. So it automatically adds #011(in my case as prefix) and hence message never gets send. You can verify from your side if that happens.
As for the solution I flashed the firmware to the original one and now I am able to send sms again.May be older firmware has some bugs, but still I can use call, messaging data with ease now. I still prefer to use these fascilities first. Others like gaming music etc are secondary. I am going to stay on original firmware until something concrete for this problem comes.
hope this helps you all

[gamingstill]

[senbobaggins]

[senbobaggins]

There doesn't appear to be a fix just yet. Maybe flash it with a different ROM, like 'Anupam P' said

[madhi]

i too reverted to the old firmware as anupam suggested. now everything works as it should. till a solution is found for portico sms problem, better stick with the earlier firmware or flash it.

3. After you feel a vibration in the phone immediately release the Volume Down and the Power button and hold the Volume up button.

5. After about 15 seconds you will see a top NOKIA logo and the software will start flashing the phone.
6. Make sure you have enough power backup on laptop or PC because during the flashing of the phone if any how it interrupts phone may go dead and become like dummy phone :

After its Finishes Flashing the phone it might rebooting couple of times and you should be good to go and keep texting
however i have noticed that after flashing its only left with nearly 10GB of storage.
and its also bit slower then before though barely noticable.........

I hope Nokia and Microsoft will come up with something that can fix the problem without we having to go through all it.

[luyenok]

I have same problem, I can send sms to short code (eg 8700) but can't send sms to normal number :(

[benny142]

Other than flashing the phone, is there any solution?? Flashing is a risky process.. if smthng messes up in b/w.. then the ph will be just a plastic rect. brick!!

Hope the next update fixes this, or any othr solution comes up..!!

[Karun Thareja]

I'm having the same problem with SMS. Can receive but cannot send.
I flashed the rom before portico, but still have the same problem. I think I am missing something. if someone can reply to me with their settings on the phone I would be grateful
Please let me know if someone finds a Solution.
